I bought that last year but haven’t read it so that’ll be the next one I read - thank you.Yes, that’s the one.
I read malorie blackman’s noughts and crosses series from when I was 13 I remember waiting for the day it each new one came out and going to WHSmith to buy them!Love this thread!! I got sucked into the silent patient hype and hated every page and found it so MEH - glad it was only 99p on kindle! I have read the couple next door and now am on a stranger in the house both VERY GOOD!!
I want to re-read the noughts and crosses books but they are a bit more on kindle than i like to spend so maybe have to wait to be a bit financially better off before i treat myself
The latest one is no different, like you've said, it was really hard to work out who was talking. Almost gave up on it put persevered as wanted to complete the series.Wolf hall is one of the hardest books I have ever read, it is one of my favourite periods in history. But the problem I had with this was that i could never work out who was talking, say there were 4 people in a room and the story goes on but I had no idea which dialogue belonged to who, it was so confusing.
We read the first one in English at school and I had to re-read them but I think i just borrowed from a friend I have now got them all on my kindle and all the shopaholic books as well hahaI read malorie blackman’s noughts and crosses series from when I was 13 I remember waiting for the day it each new one came out and going to WHSmith to buy them!
I thought they were really good books
I’m reading this atm but only about a quarter of the way throughI finished Half a world away last night... didn’t think I’d be able to! the last 20% or so really got to me.
I’ve finished this nowI finished Half a world away last night... didn’t think I’d be able to! the last 20% or so really got to me.
It’s a fabulous book! Loved it.Currently reading Blood Orange. Just read some of the comments above saying the ending is crazy so looking forward to finishing it
Just finished it this afternoon! So goodIt’s a fabulous book! Loved it.
What did you think?I’ve finished this now
I like anything by Mike Gayle to be honest. It was good but a bit too close to home for me xWhat did you think?
I finished it last night....surprised I could see the words through my tears it was heartbreaking!I do like Mike Gayle. Half a world away was so sad
I read this a few weeks ago and gave it 4/5. A pleasant read but not a wow book that I’ll remember forever or anything like that.Currently half way through The Flat Share. Everyone was going on about it for a while so maybe my expectations were too high but currently feels kind of standard?
I think if I read a lot of that genre I would have been disappointed. But I fell out of love with rom com a while ago and it was the first I had read in about 3 years!Currently half way through The Flat Share. Everyone was going on about it for a while so maybe my expectations were too high but currently feels kind of standard?
Where the Crawdads Sing is one of the best books I have read I think.Just read
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens...beautifully written story.
Educated....an autobiog by Tara Westover......good, but not for the squeamish!
The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell.....good, gripping read, but a little far fetched in places.
Relish...autobiog of Prue Leith....good, pacey read.
