Five books completed in June here, but alongside those I’ve also finally followed through on my threats to give Les Miserables
another go and am actually quite enjoying it this time! (I know
@LaBlonde will approve!) It does feel slow going in places even when skimming parts, so planning to read in sections and take breaks to mix it up with something lighter which means this one is probably going to be with me for a while. I’m determined to finish it this time though!
Either side of Les Mis I finished -
Midnights Children by Salaman Rushdie - left over from May and had to fight to finish. Felt overly long and wordy, the sort of book people rave about to sound intellectual when really it’s just a bit rubbish!
One True Loves by TJR - needed something light after Midnights Children. Not one of my fave TJR books, fairly predictable but not a bad read.
The List by Yomi Adegoke - like many people here this one fell a bit flat for me. Good premise not executed very well. Meh!
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt - Love love loved this! And probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it hadn’t been for recommendations here so thanks book friends! Beautiful book, one that will stay with me.
The Body In The Library by Agatha Christie - good fast read, standard Christie!
