Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
In one sitting, in a hospital chair, waiting on Ruth's scan results. Keegan doesn't waste a syllable. Bill Furlong going up that lane is the only thing I've read this year that made me sit forward in the chair.

In the Margins
Small Things Like These reviewed by @quietcarriage
Read it door to door, Reading to Paddington, one sitting, didn't look up once. Coal dust, cold hands, the small daily cowardice of a whole town. I was still thinking about it at the ticket barriers.9 out of 10@quietcarriage

The Haunting of Hill House reviewed by @margaretreads
That opening paragraph! Nothing else in it reaches that pitch again, and I say so as somebody who lent it out constantly. Eleanor is superb; the house is a bit of a set. I'd take Jackson's short stories over it, honestly.7 out of 10The Haunting of Hill House
Becoming reviewed by @margaretreads
The South Side chapters are the book. Everything after the second campaign reads as though a committee sat in on it, politely. I've reserved it twice for other people since, which is my only real measure of anything.7 out of 10Becoming
