This week involved a lot of catch-up on reviews for books that came out in January – and were read many months before. I really do need to make an effort to write the review when I finish the book, instead of waiting until the pub date is right on top of me (or receding in the rearview mirror!)
Last week’s reviews
A Really Good Day by Ayelet Waldman
The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian
Packed: Lunchtime Hacks to Squeeze More Nutrients Into Your Day by Becky Alexander and Michelle Lake

I’m curious about Norse Mythology and seeing Neil Gaiman’s take on it.
Kathryn Trask
If I left my reviews that long I’d have to read the book again!! You’ve got a great memory to be able to do it.

I compensate with copious notes!

I’m keen to hear what you though of The Natural Way of Things. I read it when it came out here in Australia a while ago and enjoyed it but think I missed the point completely!
