I really liked Hostage too and thought the ending was so clever! Read Falling not long after and thought it was pretty meh. So overhyped IMOI’ve just finished Hostage and really enjoyed it…
I didn’t guess who the actual “leader” was that was revealed towards the end. I was relieved when Sophia’s biscuit victim wasn’t actually any of her parentsI found it slightly emotional at the end too
Next up is The Wild Girls by Phoebe Morgan.
Me! I only finished it last week. It took me a little while to get into it but I absolutely loved it (I gave it 5* on Good Reads). I liked the way the story followed the history from a women’s perspective. It felt more profound reading it with the knowledge of current events going on in Afghanistan too.About to start A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini has anyone else read it?
Another favourite. Very moving.About to start A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini has anyone else read it?
It's my favourite book of all timeAbout to start A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini has anyone else read it?
I know what you mean. I still get a bit shivery when I think about it…It's my favourite book of all time
I don't really like using the word favourite though, it doesn't feel like the right thing to say given the content of the book.
I usually know I enjoyed a book a lot because I remember what happened after putting it down. Though it sometimes takes a while to realise thatGlad to know it’s not just me! I read a book and seem to forget what happened as soon as I’ve finished
Is it worth a read?Just finished Orange Is The New Black.... The book is vastly different from the TV series
It's okay but quite a slog, the book is way longer than I expected. Not really sure I'd recommend it unless you were really interested in the subject matter (which Piper Kerman fails to make overly interesting either)Is it worth a read?
She wrote Hood which is such a good book. I've read it several times.Finished The Pull of the Stars a couple of days ago. Cried buckets at it. Emma Donoghue does do excellent lesbian/queer historical fiction.
I really enjoyed Small Pleasures. It was just such a nice book.Finished Ghosts by Dolly Alderton. Not sure about the downstairs neighbour plot, but overall thought it was good and I'd recommend it.
Now onto Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers and I'm absolutely loving it. It's the right era for me and written in a tempo I love, so hope it doesn't disappoint. Anyone else read it?
I'm about to start it too! Just finishing off my current read and then I'll get onto it tonight. Super excited, it's been recommended to me by a close friendFinished Ghosts by Dolly Alderton. Not sure about the downstairs neighbour plot, but overall thought it was good and I'd recommend it.

I read that recently and sobbed my heart out at the end. Would also recommend!The Book Thief is 99p on Kindle if anyone hasn't read it. Beautiful book, one of my faves.
