The only reason I use Goodreads is to keep track of books I've read. It irritates me when I get notifications from people I follow, let alone see botsStarted a new book. As some of you know I was struggling with The Beekeeper of Aleppo and felt bad about not finishing it. But I’ve put it to the side and started The Dover Cafe at War and so far it’s really good. The front cover makes it look a bit simple but it’s really engaging.
You’re on goodreads! Do you have the same problem with the Russian sex bots following you and liking your reviews and ratings? I hardly post on there, only too keep a track on what I’ve read and I have 50 followers who love that I often give 3 stars to books
I set a challenge and even that's hit or miss as sometimes it doesn't mark the book as read, despite my kindle showing 100% and I've definitely finished the book.I loved Beartown. I really didn't expect to, but my other half recommended it.
It sounds really good and I don't normally read books along those topics. I might give it a go. In all honesty confiding in my book friends -I try to avoid all books with WW2 themes. I'm Jewish so I find it too hard to read about. I know that probably comes across really strange but I just can't explain it. But yeah I've felt like that has been a guilty secret of mine that has stopped me before.
Beartown
I really liked Crawdads, I thought it was a great kind of slow burner.
I liked the Guest List too, I liked the mix of characters (who were, in the main, a bit more likeable than the characters in The Hunting Party). I'll admit I got the whodunnit wrong, but I was happy with how it was handled. Really liked the character of Hannah. I was listening to it on audiobook and they had a real lovely "northern lass" type reading her chapters
I agree with the writing style it was the same with girl woman other, the new trend of lack of punctuation in books is just absolutely baffling to me. But where normal people just didn’t really interest me story wise at least girl woman other had some of the women’s stories that I loved - some not so much but I just find reading from the perspective of a teenager the most uninteresting and frustrati
Never feel bad about not finishing a book I firmly go by, 100 minus your age is the number of pages that if you aren’t into it put it down. There are exceptions if there’s a book people have told you it takes a while to get into or you really want to finish it.Started a new book.

I can't wait for the 3rd!! I love Benji too.Beartown
I'm going to reread it soon. The 3rd book is due out next year
Benji is my favourite book character ever
So pleased you're enjoying it! I'm jealous I want to read it for the first time again
I liked the sequel too.
sameI’ve not heard of this Bear town so off to google it. My TBR pile is already ridiculous
for a light filler read I’ve enjoyed it, it’s very like CRA, and quite humorous at times.You’re a fast reader! I’m not sure what to choose from my TBR pile, have narrowed it down to 3.same
Last Tang Standing is actually really good
glad I went with it, but now….. next book choice anxiety

The Appeal
We Begin at the End
all have had rave reviews
I don’t do the sleep thing people talk about, so I tend to do most of my reading in the AM, I read more now I read on my phone because it’s easy to just pull out when I have a few spare min and not scroll on Instagram, I hardly use/look at Instagram or twitter at all anymore! Or spend hours watching YouTube shite at 3am 
This is why I HATE sally Rooney!!!
Thank you!I agree super over hyped for me, but then I really didn’t like normal people at all as well as hated my sister the serial killer. Both of which everyone else I known is obsessed with so maybe my opinion isn’t worth a lot
Everyone I've talked to,think I'm a weirdo
I have not read them yet, but will check them out for sure.I really like Clare Chambers, I think Learning to Swim is my favourite book of hers but you can't really go wrong with any of them.
Stephen fry does a really good job of being a pig in the audio versionI have hit book 50 so I wanted it to be a classic. I read animal farm for the first time. I don't like pigs anymore
I'm going to try to find some books on amazon prime reading to give my bank balance a break
