I know. I’ve made my rule today. Can only read a letter I’ve not read until I’ve been through the alphabet at least once.Ah thanks for reminding my about the A-Z challenge! Realised I hadn’t put my last 8 books on it - annoying only 2 actually count. How have I read so many C books already this year?!
I loved Shuggie too. I listened on audio too and thought it was really well narrated.I did enjoy it. It’s a hard read emotionally but I actually gave it 5/5. I listened to it twice on audio and read it once. I believe there is going to be a film (?) or maybe a drama made out of it. It feels odd saying it’s good because the content is hard. But the writing is and the subject are well done.
I started beartown but I just couldn’t get into it, I reread the first few chapter at least three times before I gave up. I felt it wasn’t for me yet. And now I’ve already got two reads for B. I’m passing it over to next year.I loved Shuggie too. I listened on audio too and thought it was really well narrated.
One of my favourite books of 2021. Sadly for Shuggie I read Beartown in the same year
I haven’t read them, but that sort of thing is right up my street so I’d love to know how you get on with itLove how active this thread has become with our new friendly bookworms.
My reading mojo got up and left over the weekend. No reading at all
I am about to start Whisky from Small Glasses by Denzil Meyrick, it is the first book in an eleven book detective/thriller series that my mum recommended. My mum rarely lets me down with recommendations so I have high hopes. Has anyone read these books?
rebecca was the start of my post-school classic dip and I loved it too, CoHo reminds me a little bit of this.Love Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Really great writing.
I actually don’t mind a bit of Dickensif you see his books as more like newspaper serials / almost like comics - they are very exaggerated characters. I enjoy the TV adaptations more though, as they’re less of a slog. BBC’s Bleak House was great and obviously the greatest adaptation of all time - Muppets Christmas Carol
I studied literature at uni and never really got on with American literature for some reason. I don’t love a lot of the typical classics either. Absolutely hated Wuthering Heightsbut I will have to give some of the recommendations in this thread a go!
Not just with classics but I find any book that’s been massively hyped up either in the media or by people, I tend not to enjoy. Not on purpose like I’m trying to be cool or anything, I just find some books get a lot of money / promotion thrown at them for whatever reason but the quality of the writing just isn’t there for me.
Yes I have! I liked them. I read Whisky from Small Glasses in a newborn fog whilst feeding my youngest. (I think I read each page 3 times over - not because it wasnt good though!)Love how active this thread has become with our new friendly bookworms.

Just to let people know you can't get a refund on audible titles you have paid money for anymore! Refunds will only be for titles purchased with a credit.Didnt even realise we had a new thread
Audible £2.99 sale looks pretty decent. Ive not been that impressed lately with the sales.
Hahaha it's so odd, the character likes them and I guess it's sweet at first as it's a childhood memory but it's mentioned sooo many times. It's even called out in the goodreads reviews---------
@slugella I have Maybe in Another Life on my TBR and love a cinnamon bun, am i going to start resenting them?
wait wait hold up.Didn't realise we were on another thread. I've decided to finish the Dirty Air Series by Lauren Asher (I love F1 and missing it lol) and read Collided over the weekend. 3/5, just felt very long winded for me in the end, a lot of unnecessary parts and toooo much slow burn, then started Wrecked last night, already a better plot 3 chapters in lol
Oh no! I think I stole your mojo as after a v lacklustre start to the year for my reading I managed to finish one and raced through another over the weekendLove how active this thread has become with our new friendly bookworms.
