Books read in January 2018

I decided to start listing books I've read here, so here's the first batch. (I was previously doing this over at bitesizedreading but decided I wanted an easier way of referring back — I thoroughly recommend the community though).

I'm not writing reviews or even mini-reviews, but just stating whether I'd recommend the book (yes/maybe/no), whether I decided not to finish it (DNF), whether it's a re-read, and whether I have any content warnings (cw). Please don't take the content warnings as definitive — most of them are done from memory and I may have forgotten some.

Recommend:

• Provenance, Ann Leckie
• Home Fire, Kamila Shamsie
• Carry On, Rainbow Rowell
• A Matter Of Oaths, Helen S Wright

Maybe recommend:
