I shamefully got the hardback in a Waterstones preorder offer, but I'm looking forward to discussing it!also of potential interest to you and me daisy - i see kj charles’ new one is one there too! i’ve been waiting for it to drop from a tenner!
(I also found it educational, I love learning from research)Love it when that happens! What have you gone for?
I liked it, I found the idea begind it interesting and didn't know about the historical element in it. But it's quite an odd read, I'm not sure if I would recommend it. It's one of those that I read as a bookclub and it had great discussion but it was probably one that I stuck with because I had to!
What have you bought so far?
I haven’t made any purchases yet. But have a million windows open. I’m trying to be a bit more responsible with my kindle purchases. I’m very flippant with adding to wish list cos I like the sound of something. But, often I find it unbearable to read. So now I read a little sample before purchase!
i got into the blue and the bright years, as well as the new kj charles
I wasn't that impressed by The Artist! Read it last month and rated it 3 stars - maybe I would have liked it more without all the hype.
I highly recommend Do No Harm.
i hate to do this ms pop but i have a terrible feeling you told us you’d read into the blue and returned it unless i’m confusing this with something else
Omg your memory is staggering! I paid full price for it and read the first two pages and immediately loathed it. I returned for full refund.i hate to do this ms pop but i have a terrible feeling you told us you’d read into the blue and returned it unless i’m confusing this with something else
Do No Harm is a great book.
eurkh after having this on my list for a while after seeing all the rave reviews, i’m a few pages in and I can already tell i’m likely to DNF it!
I keep reading Wildy different reviews of the safekeep. It seems like a really marmite book but I read the first few pages and enjoyed the writing, it’s not too long and it was a cheapy so I’m happy to take a punt! Watch this space as I return in a few weeks complaining that I cannot finish it.
phew i was glad i was right
i was sure you’d mentioned it somewhere! i honestly really liked the safekeep: it’s at times a very frustrating book because you’re in the mind of a very frustrating character and i think there were a bunch of plot issues that aren’t resolved to my liking but i thought the writing was beautiful and i got really involved in it. every single person i’ve recommended it to has disliked it though!
