My husband and I always put “blind dates with a book” in each other’s stockings. This year I got Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets, which I wouldn’t have picked up on my own but I cannot wait to dive into

What a great idea. Next birthday sorted for me. My HAPPY YELL would be a book I loved and recently rediscovered: *THE FULL CATASTROPHE* BY DAVID CARKEET (AND EVERYTHING ELSE BY DAVID CARKEET)

Leslie, you have honestly made my day. I have never heard of this book and it looks so completely up my alley and I've ordered a copy. I will report back to this thread! (it will be a minute, it's a used copy and might not ship for a bit)

I'm so glad! It stands alone, but also follows his first novel *Double Negative*, another wonderful novel. Happy new year and happy reading :)
