Lolita | Vladimir Nabokov

Strange to be in the mindset of a pedophile. Interesting though.

The Buried Giant: A novel | Kazuo Ishiguro

Fairytale like and a love between an old couple I could relate to. A sad and magical book. I definitely recommend it.

Pretty good. A little uncomfortable at times, hilarious at others. Will be interesting to read her other books too.

CJBthefirst Try a little bit marvellous - it's fun 😊 7y

The Bell Jar | Sylvia Plath
Pickpick

Well. I expected this book to toy with my emotions but gosh. If you have ever suffered/ are suffering problems with mental health, I would recommend not reading this, or making sure you are ok to do so first. I'm on the chocolate and starting a comedy now.

The Child's Child | Barbara Vine
Pickpick

A very enjoyable book. The fact that there was a book within a book was very effective, and the characterisation was rather good. I had always known that unmarried pregnant women and gay men had suffered throughout history, but in this century it is easy to take this change for granted, and not realise the extent of their suffering. I really recommend this book.

This book seems very unusual. I've already got stuck into it within the first few pages...

Although this book took me a while to finish, I did enjoy it. It was rather overwhelming at times, and it's very sad but enjoyable all the same.

Room: A Novel | Emma Donoghue

A book I've just finished whilst being ill! Loved it, interesting in the way it's from the little boy's perspective... worth a read!

JanuarieTimewalker13 @charloteemilyjane I enjoyed this also. However, I LOVED PrettyGirl-13...highly highly recommend..a little slow going until about p 35...then it takes off...that book is SO underrated, I had to pass it on, my friend loved it, and she passed it on...one of my fave YA reads in 2016! It was published before that, I think. 7y
charloteemilyjane @JanuarieTimewalker13 sorry only just seen this! Brill, I love recommendations, thank you :) 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @charloteemilyjane no worries, I put stuff out there and I forget...lol...you know how that goes!! And you're welcome💐 7y

HCBB I loved this series. The photos were a bit annoying at first but I got used to it after a while. Enjoy! 7y
charloteemilyjane @HCBB it took a while to get used to, I agree, but I found it helped add to the atmosphere of the book. Thank you! 7y
