December TBR
It's the festive season, lovely little Internet friends! And because it's the festive season, we're into the bit of the year where my reading becomes a bit less structured and begins depending on what is available at my grandmother's to peruse and pick up once my own library becomes inaccessible to me for a month (a month of being pampered, eating good food, and having someone else look after me while I do the PhD work I've been procrastinating on all term - how lovely). So, as per last month, it's a much shorter TBR - just the few books I definitely want to read before I leave; and some other books that I know are available for me in France that I might be tempted to read in the next month.
Proper TBR:
A History of Magic, by Chris Gosden
Priory of the Orange Tree, by Samantha Shannon
Just Haven't Met You Yet, by Sophie Cousens
The Patience of the Spider, by Andrea Camilleri
The Paper Moon, by Andrea Camilleri
Crossing to Safety, by Wallace Stegner
Small Things Like These, by Claire Keegan
Imperium, by Robert Harris
Le Collier de la Reine, by Alexandre Dumas
La plus sécrète mémoire des hommes, by Mohammed Mbougar Sarr

Will potentially want to read:
La Panthère des neiges, by Sylvain Tesson
Le Tribunal d'honneur, by Dominique Fernandez
Un crime sans importance, by Irène Frain

Let me know which of these strike your fancy - and which you'd potentially like to see a review of!
Happy reading (and happy festivities),
Amélie xx
