I read 9 books in October, including The Bee Sting, which means that I've finally finished this year's Booker longlist. I also got my hands on Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad, and an advance copy of Stuart Turton's latest mind-bending murder mystery. You can read all my reviews by clicking the links below:
