People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo--and the Evil That Swallowed Her Up | Richard Lloyd Parry

If you‘re frequenting the hostess restaurants in Roppongi, Tokyo, you‘re the Japanese equivalent of a #partyman. This book is so atmospheric, about the disappearance of a British woman in Tokyo in 2000. I‘m fully immersed in the culture and lifestyle. #soaringscores

Goodbye Freddie Mercury | Nadia Akbar

pick

This reads at a breakneck pace. Quite like the city it embodies. Right from the title, the cover to the first page and every one that comes after, sucks you in to the vortex of disparity in time, means, gender and the art of chugging along. Soul-crushing moments jostling ones that make you soar. If I had read this in college, I‘d be shook. #Booked2019 #MuslimAuthorOrMC

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage

AppuNthebooks An Existential Crisis seems to be a right of passage. And this particular reading of two youngsters in a city and circumstance that‘s not hard to fathom, make it all the more relatable. That search for purpose, spiking interest in politics, moved enough to feel strongly but unsure you can do something to make a difference. The language is on point, the lead characters feel real. A fantastic read that stirs up old thoughts and notes to self. 1d

Cinfhen Such an awesome and heartfelt review!!!! #stacked 1d

AppuNthebooks @Cinfhen Thanks 😊 I hope you enjoy reading it 1d

The Man Who Saw Everything | Deborah Levy

It's hard to say very much about this without spoilers, so I'll just confine myself to saying that it is beautifully written and teeming with ideas. If you want a linear story it is not for you, but if you want something to chew on you couldn't do better.

JennyM It‘s on library hold! Looking forward to reading it 📚 (edited) 4d

Centique Carolyn - I felt so gutted for your team last night. The emotion on the field at full time🥺😟 They put their hearts into it for sure. Commiserations xxx 21h

CarolynM @Centique You are very kind. I saw a team making all the same mistakes they've been making for the last 3 years and a coach with a questionable attitude who is well past his sell by date. It was frustrating but not surprising. Were you pleased with the AB performance? We didn't get to see your game because we were away for the weekend and relying on free to air TV (we are lucky to get any rugby on free to air in Victoria) (edited) 15h

CarolynM @LeahBergen That's very sweet of you. Thank you. I will look out for it😘 15h

Centique @CarolynM yes it was good - I only watched the first half though and then I went to bed! 😴😴😴 I think my hub said pretty similar about your coach 😬 better luck ahead I hope. 14h

It‘s YA, but it‘s interesting, hard hitting, important and well written. Also a reminder of some of the crap (young) women have to go through. Enjoyed it 👍🏻

Girl in a Blue Dress | Gaynor Arnold

I read this one ages ago, and it‘s one that I‘ve often recommended to people over the years. It has a low rating on Litsy, but I liked it. Maybe it‘s because of the indignation I felt towards Charles Dickens and his treatment of his wife, Catherine. This novel is based on the couple‘s relationship, which has gone down in history as odd and very complicated. I want to read more about her, just to see all the truths. #TheBlueDress #SoaringScores

Fake | Stephanie Wood

pick

The true story of one woman‘s experience with a lying, manipulative narcissist of a boyfriend. Stephanie Wood is an intelligent, well-respected journalist, not someone who ever expected to be prey for a con man yet that‘s exactly what happened. When she realised she use her journalistic talent to explain what really happened and why. I found the style a little clunky at first but then utterly compelling. This is fascinating and insightful reading.

JennyM I‘m so curious about this one #stacked 👍 1w

LeeRHarry One of my book group members read this one and said it was interesting, it made for great discussion. 1w
