Book 15 of 2026
‘Dear Martin’ by Nic Stone
Teenage fiction – although it might actually be adult fiction – it was in the book cupboard at school. Feels like teenage fiction.
It follows Justyce, a black high school student from Atlanta, who gets shot by a white officer duty police officer. Justyce survives but his best friend is killed.
He starts a journal to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, to try to make sense of everything that is happening.
It’s a good read. Apparently based loosely on the murder of Jordan Davis in 2012.
Book 14 of 2026 📚
‘The Eternal Return of Clara Hart’ by Louise Finch.
Teenage fiction. I liked it.
Spence wakes up. Clara hits his car. He goes to class. House party. Drink. Clara dies. Spence wakes up. Clara hits his car. He goes to class. House party. Clara dies….
How many times will Spence watch the same girl die? Can he even do anything about it?
Well worth a read.

‘Witness 8’ by Steve Cavanagh
Crime fiction. Solid.
Book 12 of 2026 📚
‘Run Forever’ by Damian Hall
This is an interesting read for any runners in midlife.
Hall explores what it takes to carry on running into old age, from nutrition and training, through to stretching and mental health, and everything in between.
We don’t stop running because we get old. We get old because we stop running.
I’m definitely taking on board some ideas going forward.
Definitely worth a read.
Book 10 of 2026 📚
‘House of Windows’ by Alexia Casale
Didn’t like this. It’s a teenage novel promoted as a ‘coming-of-age novel about life, love and differential equations’.
Wouldn’t recommend.
