What I read in February 2019
I read 11 non-fiction, crime and thriller, fantasy and historical fiction books in February, yet my TBR list never gets any smaller.
Review: The Wych Elm, by Tana French
In The Wych Elm, Tana French has created a small, self-contained universe full of paranoia, suspicion, and game-playing, and raised questions about the reliability of memory and what makes someone 'good'.
Review: The Library Book, by Susan Orlean
The Library Book is like libraries themselves: it's wide-ranging, full of life, and you get a hell of a lot out of it.
Review: Darling, by Rachel Edwards
Darling is rich, timely, unpredictable and unputdownable.
What I read in January 2019
January felt like such a long month, so I'm not surprised I managed to fit in 11 books!
Review: You Were Gone, by Tim Weaver
You Were Gone is thrilling, emotional, and genuinely scary.
Review: Conversations with Friends, by Sally Rooney
Conversations with Friends isn't something I'd normally read, but it's pacey and well-written, and gave me a lot to pick over.
Review: Milkman, by Anna Burns
Milkman is like chocolate fudge cake. It's rich and satisfying, but you have to pace yourself.
Review: Dear Mrs Bird, by AJ Pearce
It has to be a good sign when your first read of the year gets five stars, right?
