Read on TwitterFor some stupid reason I’m attempting to read 50 books this year. Why am I like this?
Anyway, here we go:
Book 1: this was a slow starter. Took me ages to read the first few bits and then it took off. Graham’s style is a little different to what I’m used to but I devoured it in the end. A good classic.
Book 2: I personally much preferred this to the Handmaid’s Tale. The rebellious, revolutionary undercurrent explodes into a detailed and intricately woven tapestry of a story. I devoured it. I’m glad it took decades for this to be written. Highly recommended.
Book 3: Dark Icelandic noir is probably my favourite kind of noir? This was really easy to ready, incredibly atmospheric and the characters were well written. It reminded me a lot of Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. Parts of the story were a little disappointing but great overall.
Book 4: I picked this up on a whim in the @gutterbookshop and fell in love with it. It was a very wholesome little read that I didn’t expect to love but I did.
Book 5: I really wanted to like this but I’m not sure how I feel about it. The premise was interesting but the story was a slow burner at times. It was easy to read and generally I liked it but the writing style was overly complicated at times which made it a bit cumbersome.
Book 6: Do you enjoy toilet/gallows/brutally honest humour? Do you enjoy laughing out loud so much your ribs hurt? Then this book is for you. @wordscience is hilarious! I couldn’t get enough. I read excerpts to my pals in voice messages because I had to share them.
Book 7: I flew through this despite it being a difficult read. @rgay’s brutal honest about her relationship with her body was refreshing. It struck some really uncomfortable chords in me and at times I resonated so much with this it scared me. Viscerally good.
Book 8: I have mixed feelings about this. It was easy to read and I read it in less than 24 hrs but as it’s written in the style of a journal the lack of resolution bothered me a little. There was so much more I wanted to know. I did enjoy it though.
Book 9: I really loved this. I would have read it faster if my week wasn’t so busy. Our book club pick this mo th and potentially one of my favourite picks ever? Easy to read with an expertly woven plot and that ending...œuf. @kileyreid has done a tremendous job.

Book 10: this book was *deeeeliciously* written. I’m a big fan of Janet Fitch and this reminded me so much of her writing. I lapped this up. The ending was interesting. Highly recommend this if you like lush, swirling sentences. Can’t wait to see what @saskiavogel writes next.
Seriously falling behind on my reading in favour of panic scrolling social media but anyway. Book 11: I’m not usually a fan of rambling prose that doesn’t go anywhere but Sagan interspersed her story with it and it was actually gas. On a mission to read every book of hers.
