Sweet Sorrow is such a charming book about Shakespeare, first love and teenage summers. I enjoyed it, but despite my teenage performing arts phase, I didn& #39;t *love* it. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎭" title="Performing arts" aria-label="Emoji: Performing arts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌞" title="Sun with face" aria-label="Emoji: Sun with face"> https://amzn.to/2Ge4bDL ">https://amzn.to/2Ge4bDL&q...
Lady in Waiting gets much more interesting a third in. It& #39;s less about Princess Margaret than I& #39;d anticipated, but Glenconner& #39;s life is fascinating. And the cover photo is magnificent. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👑" title="Crown" aria-label="Emoji: Crown">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍾" title="Bottle with popping cork" aria-label="Emoji: Bottle with popping cork"> https://amzn.to/38jpkZk ">https://amzn.to/38jpkZk&q...
I& #39;ve read all of TJR& #39;s novels and After I Do is my least favourite. I couldn& #39;t finish it, but Daisy Jones and Evelyn Hugo are such standouts from last year.

You might think this is a thread about all sorts of books but it& #39;s really a thread about how much I adore Sarah Moss. Read Signs for Lost Children. Read them all.

I didn& #39;t hate A Visit From The Good Squad, but I don& #39;t think I& #39;ll remember anything about it after a week. (Read Egan& #39;s Manhattan Beach instead, that& #39;s incredible.) https://amzn.to/2RuCTjb ">https://amzn.to/2RuCTjb&q...
Hoo boy, Idaho is the most arresting book I& #39;ve read in months. It& #39;s about a shocking act that tears a family apart. It& #39;s beautiful and haunting and I& #39;m really pleased I read it. Also pleased I can move onto something less intense. https://amzn.to/36TWsG7 ">https://amzn.to/36TWsG7&q...

I gasped so loudly reading Our House this weekend that an entire room of people turned to look at me. It& #39;s a domestic thriller (not usually my thing, it& #39;s been on my shelf for over a year), and I loved it.

I really enjoyed Silence of the Girls (do note the trigger warnings, it& #39;s pretty hard going) but if we& #39;re comparing badass Greek mythology retellings, Madeline Miller& #39;s Circe is the one that will stay with me in my bones. https://amzn.to/2VzAPca ">https://amzn.to/2VzAPca&q... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚔️" title="Crossed swords" aria-label="Emoji: Crossed swords">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍷" title="Wine glass" aria-label="Emoji: Wine glass">
There& #39;s so much going on in this book that the brilliant main character – 9-year-old wannabe jazz singer Madeleine – gets completely swallowed up.

Flesh and Bone and Water is such a glorious, quiet book. It& #39;s about a doctor who leaves his life behind in Brazil, and the ties that draw him back.

The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo is my favourite read of 2020 so far. It& #39;s a huge, messy family saga and if your own family is sometimes difficult, right on the money.

How Do You Like Me Now? is a really smart book (and if you happen to be a woman who works online it hits really close to home). I didn& #39;t love the main character so it& #39;s not my favourite recent read, but the digi version is only 99p. https://amzn.to/2WJleY3 ">https://amzn.to/2WJleY3&q...

I think this short book about class and teen pregnancy is one to be read in one sitting and I was a bit all over the place when I started it. Also, there& #39;s a lot of dialogue so italics instead of speech marks drove me to distraction. https://amzn.to/3eAJySq ">https://amzn.to/3eAJySq&q...

My first Penny Vincenzi! No Angel is a dreamy whirlwind of rich people, fancy outfits, and publishing in the early 1900s. It& #39;s delicious.
