Lisa is on page 56 of 192 of La Chatte

I haven't read the preface which, along with the bibliography is 43 pages long, so the story only starts on page 47 and I've really only read 9 pages. Gosh, my French is rusty!!

Lisa is 12% done with Touba and the Meaning of Night

Quite shocking to read this with Western eyes to see how Persian women's lives were constrained, compared to their sisters in the the West. Even after divorce, Touba is subjected to her first husband, Haji Mahmud's rules and restrictions about what she may do, for three months, and even then, she must guard her reputation.

Is anyone else being driven crazy by stupid offers to get their book reviewed on Amazon or GR? Presumably after paying for it, I just send the emails to junk mail.
But word of advice, anybody stupid enough to send this kind of marketing to someone like me who (a) doesn't have a book in the marketplace and (b) has over 3000 reviews of my own blog which has never been monetised, is probably AI.

Lisa is on page 50 of 320 of Moderation

I read a few more pages of this, and I really don't like the style. It's going back to the library and I really don't care if they shortlist it or not.

There's confronting details about the sort of content online moderators have to deal with in this novel. I'm not sure that I'll be continuing with it.
