I picked up _The Millstone_ by Margaret Drabble in a second hand bookshop last week. I've read three of her books before and enjoyed the later ones more. This is an early one, and quite celebrated, and I did enjoy it a lot. Published in 1965, it's the story of a PhD student who finds herself pregnant and explores the idea of motherhood in a way that's sometimes quite dated (but interesting with it) but at other times quite timeless. I enjoyed it a lot.

I felt like I was probably on board with the ideas in _Inside the Box_ by David Epstein - before I began. That given infinite time and resources we just engage in endless scope creep and do much better and more creative things with a few limits. The first half of the book felt a bit repetitive with examples. The second half felt a lot more constructive with usable ideas and was quite uplifting.
Also the #SummerReadingChallenge has overflowed onto the next page. I thought the sticker of a cat in a constrained space fit pretty neatly too. 😻

_Howards End_ by EM Forster was really fabulous and is going straight onto my favourite novels list (not that I know what else is on it, but hey). A 1910 novel about class that nailed sexism as well while it was at it. Some great characters and eminently readable. Definitely need to read more Forster now.
I've now filled up the first page of my #SummerReadingChallenge and am spilling onto the next page. I only read two books last July and one in August so I'm blazing ahead this year, and much happier for it. When I don't read I don't feel like me.

My #Storygraph #Reading stats for July are a marked improvement on last year. Last year I only finished two #Books and this year five. Last year I read 475 pages, this year 2234. I’m keeping up the #SummerReadingChallenge during August and (hopefully!) overflowing into the next page of my notebook.

A sequel to a book I'd really enjoyed by a favourite author meant that there was never much chance I wouldn't enjoy _Love Lane_ by Patrick Gale and it was indeed a really good read. It's now the 1950s and Harry Cane from the previous novel _A Place Called Winter_ returns from Canada to visit the daughter he left in England when he went to farm on the prairies. Cane was based on one of Gale's own great-something grandfathers and this is a fictionalised family memoir that leaves you wondering how much was made up. The small details absolutely nail the era and fortunately the author has written enough articles about his family over the years that you can find out the bigger details are pretty plausible. Excellent storytelling.
📚😃 And another book read for my #SummerReadingChallenge

I really glad I finally got around to reading _Beloved_ by Toni Morrison because it's an absolute masterpiece of both storytelling and writing. It's obviously tough to read in places considering the subject matter is slavery. It was difficult to review because I just couldn't do justice to it.

I picked up _The Trouble with Goats and Sheep_ by Joanna Cannon as I'd read one of the author's books a couple of years back and really enjoyed it.
This was a delightful book too. Set in a suburban cul-de-sac during the 1976 heatwave. It starts with the disappearance of one of the residents but there's more going on under the surface. There's a ten year old narrator who sees what the grown ups do but doesn't entirely understand it so the reader gets to put the puzzle together. Really good stuff!

I've been reading _What We Cannot Know_ by Marcus du Sautoy for several months, after several years of it loitering in my bedside table stack of books. My #SummerReadingChallenge finally persuaded me to finish it.
It's an exploration of the edges of scientific knowledge and whether we know whether there are things that we'll never know. It's basically taken me a long time to read it because most of it's really interesting. I unexpectedly liked the brain science bits and am always going to enjoy the maths content.

Yep, as soon as I set myself a #SummerReadingChallenge my inner over-achieving hare jumps out ready to take on the race.
I read the latter half of _The Killing Time_ by Elly Griffiths today. It’s a time travelling mystery that’s fun when it’s time travelling but the mystery plot is so thin I almost wished they hadn’t bothered trying to solve it at all. That’s about what I expect from Griffiths though and I keep reading.
