I really loved Our Wives Under the Sea; it was so different! I'm intrigued about Armfield's latest release, Private Rites (though not so much that I'm willing to pay hardback prices for it)Hello, I’m new to this threadI just treated myself to a new kindle in the Amazon sale as my previous one was about 14 years old and was painfully slow (still amazed it lasted that long though!)
I finished Big Swiss by Jen Beagin last night and I thought it was fantastic. It made me properly laugh but it also had some really dark and disturbing parts too.
Some other books I’ve recently given 5 stars to:
- Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
- Weyward by Emilia Hart
- I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
- Sunset by Jessie Cave
- Rouge by Mona Awad

all this recent weyward talk makes it think i should reread it as it was a solid three stars for me but i was also in a bad mood when i read it
So I’ve finished my third book of my holiday, Everyone here is lying by Shari Lapena - really mixed on how I feel about it to be honest BUT it felt fast paced and I finished it in a day
Avery only being nine makes things not very believable, making her a bit older would’ve helped. Also the representation of ADHD is really off, just call her a sociopath/psychopath without bringing ADHD or autism into it. Also the open ended ending was annoying
Ooh I just started this this morning and was instantly hooked. It was actually a very close second for our book club choice, if you wanted to come over and see other people’s views, as I believe people were going to read that one too.
Book Club #3 Reading is life
Continue here. Book to read for June is My Husband by Maud Ventura, suggested by @Caffeine Fiend who won by a landslide https://tattle.life/threads/book-club-2.36895/

I’ll read your spoiler once I’ve finished it
I just read it, overall I was hooked, but I do agree with you about Avery not being very believable. I enjoyed how everyone was falling apart as they all had something they were hiding and they fell like dominoes. I did not like Avery in the end. But I was hooked and ripped through the book.
Oooh I didn’t know it was possibly being made into a film! How exciting, hopefully they’ll do it justicewelcome! i really liked big swiss too - it was just delightfully weird (and like you say, really dark in places). i’m intrigued to watch the film if/when it gets made, jodie comer has bought the rights!

Just reread twilight, it's obviously not a great book but I really enjoyed the cosy nostalgia feeling 
I finished Talking at Night in Sunday and I've still not recovered

Such a great bookI finished Talking at Night in Sunday and I've still not recovered
Happy to see love for Talking at Night! It deserves more hype.
I don’t want to be dramatic.. but I think there’s a conspiracy against me buying Will of the Many 
I checked the Waterstones app yesterday and it said my local store had a few in stock.. just looked again as planning to go later and it’s out of stock.. it’s the second time this has happened!

Realistically I wasn’t going to start it until next week anyway.. but still lol the audacity of Waterstones.nooooo!! if i could, i would throw you my copy!

Could you ask them to order a copy in for you? My local store is great about that, and with new titles I normally only have to wait a few days.I don’t want to be dramatic.. but I think there’s a conspiracy against me buying Will of the Many

five of my favourite books of all time are in the top 20 so i’ll take that as a win
i’ve read a 50 of them so i’ll take that as the halfway mark

I never actually think about that, thanks! I usually use something being out of stock as an excuse to buy something else from my wish list too and get free delivery on an order lol
