• LITERARY FICTION Roundtable Demon Copperhead Barbara Kingsolver · 2022 I would not recommend it to somebody wanting a short, quiet read about a boy overcoming adversity. A Whole Life Held Together by People Who Keep Showing Up DEPENDS
• HISTORICAL FICTION Roundtable Lonesome Dove Larry McMurtry · 1985 It also contains some of the strongest writing about work, loyalty, ageing, grief and the dangerous gap between being responsible for people and actually caring for them. A Long Way to Go, and Nobody Has Written the Plan YES
• CRIME & THRILLER Roundtable Mad Mabel Sally Hepworth · 2025 I would recommend it to readers who enjoy domestic thrillers with an elderly narrator, dark humour, found family and a strong emphasis on female friendship. A murder mystery held together by friendship, paperwork and one very large problem DEPENDS
• CLASSICS Roundtable Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen · 1813 That is a useful lesson, and the book delivers it with enough wit that I did not mind being made to sit through the paperwork. A Family Where Nobody Has Assigned the Actions YES
• LITERARY FICTION Roundtable The Covenant of Water Abraham Verghese · 2023 Even with those reservations, I am glad I stayed with it. A Family History That Refuses to Leave Anything Unassigned YES
• NO COVER YET

  The Fall of Iris Henley
  CRIME & THRILLER Roundtable The Fall of Iris Henley Jennifer Graham · 2026 I would recommend this to readers who like school thrillers with social-media cruelty, multiple suspects and a narrator who has genuine guilt rather than a spotless conscience. A Rumour Can Do the Work of a Bullet DEPENDS
• HISTORICAL FICTION Roundtable The Nightingale Kristin Hannah · 2015 I would not recommend this to someone who wants historical fiction to be quiet, understated or sparing with tragedy. The women who kept going DEPENDS
• LITERARY FICTION Roundtable Theo of Golden Allen Levi · 2023 For me, Theo of Golden ultimately became a book about the difference between seeing people and managing them. A Kindness With Too Much Money Behind It DEPENDS
