While I was in Chester, I popped into Waterstones and got the top two books, then found a lovely little indie, Books on the Walls, where I got the bottom two.
On Agoraphobia: the author's bibliotherapy led him to discover that the literary world is full of agoraphobics, and this book is about them 😰
Medusa: A 1920s weird novel set at sea 🦑
Alien Gods: Only 97 pages, but they are translations of Korean reimaginings of H.P. Lovecraft ⬇️
pickI started the book awhile ago after seeing the movie. But, the book was already on my TBR list. It‘s medium paced. Some of it is somewhat predictable but some of it is not. I think this was an amazing debut thriller mystery book from the author. I haven‘t seen much by her since though.
pickThis was a YA novel about a young man who has agoraphobia caused by anxiety. A former classmate who barely knew him when he still went to school decided she would “fix” him so she‘d have a topic for a college application essay. Since I‘ve read books before, I could guess how that would turn out but this was still a good read. Everyone is written in a sympathetic way, which is important.
This was my #BookSpin for May
pickI love love love this book. (Actually everything Catherine Ryan Hyde writes.)
I was looking for a book to read from my tbr and having a lot of false starts. I'm glad I found this book. I never go wrong with Catherine Ryan Hyde.
