Okay. Whilst I didn't overly like this book, it's flippin amazing in its execution and twists and turns and unravelling. Glad I'm stubborn and stuck with it! 😅🤗

Wow! Loved this massive and amusing depiction of books in a shopping centre in Cardiff. I think you could listen to some of them through earphones but wasn't open to check.

Hmm. Not enthralled so far. Good plot but no empathy for any character yet...

Charity shop purchase...

I adore the Chocolat series... hoping this is at least half as good!

After struggling a little mid way through, I am glad I continued as tge final few chapters brought it together.
I do enjoy her prose, as well as the descriptions she adds about the surroundings.

Post zumba cereal to accompany this book.
I found the first couple of sections more enticing than the one I've just read. Hoping it keeps me reading. ..

Tonight I'm starting this book.
I've read two others by her and like her swirling plots and the character relationship.

Fantastic read, really good and well thought out storyline. The fluctuating time line makes it even more interesting as I was constantly trying to determine who was where and when!
I hope he's writing another. 😊😊😉

Living alone means eating alone which allows reading whilst eating!
This book is fantastic.

Oh my goodness, I didn't know there was another of these ! I loved Harry Quebert. 😊😊😚😚

A rare afternoon and evening of no commitment or plans so I spent the time reading the rest of this.
It's flippin excellent! It kept me completely hooked and turning pages right up until the last sentence. I'd never have predicted the plot or ending.

Cor, it's bloomim good so far!

About to start reading this.
I've not read anything else by him...

An emotional and teary read, but also a quick read.
It had some excellent quotable parts, and I liked the wit and banter between the two teenagers.

Reading this for a book club.
I know why I've not read it before... it is a little close to my heart with the subject. But it is a well written book. No way will I watch the film! 😭😿

Oh this was wonderful prose and a simple yet detailed story.
It was nothing like I expected, and I need to mull it over somewhat. Thoroughly absorbing read.

One of the recommendations from my book spa.
Short novel, translated from the Italian.
It chronicles a couple who discovered her pregnancy and how he reacts.

I finished this sooner than anticipated as the last part of the book is questions!
A heart felt story which was simple in style and plot. I'm not a huge fan of her work but appreciated the mental health aspects.
I liked the two narrators but wanted more from Jim!

After starting two others and not feeling enamoured by either, I'm trying this.

A perfect weekend in Wales with my book club women. And finished the tagged book whilst I was there.
Excellent read, love the era and his writing is incredible.

A Gentleman in Moscow was one of my top reads this year so I'm hoping this is equally absorbing :)
I rather like the cover.

Oops!
6 books for £1... couldn't resist 😂😂😂😆😆😆

Wow. Finished. Am mulling it over.
My one criticism would be that the final sections had a slight air of convenience in their panning out. But I still found it extremely gripping and bloody good in both writing and plot.

Seriously good.
Less than 100 pages left. I foresee a severe book hangover 😉😭😿

I was hugely spoilt and suprise by this unexpected package from a dear friend.
And so I begin...

I liked this.
I liked the portrayal of wealthy New Yorkers who were aware of their wealth.
I liked the way in which the book developed.
Not a challenging read but lighter relief after Milkman!
It reminded me in some way of Lillian Boxfish.

A long car journey today to deliver my eldest at uni.
Bittersweet day as I'm excited for her but missing her dearly.
On the plus side, I got to read 100 pages!

The blurb sounds like I'd enjoy this... Litsy reviews are mixed.
I recently added Millers Valley to my pile but spotted this at the library so starting this first.

That seemed a slog but actually it's a flippin good read. Reflecting on the plot, it's so twisty and intricate it's pretty tricky to evaluate. However, I'm thoroughly glad I persevered and finished it as I found the last chapter much simpler and began to appreciate it more.
I found the increased portrayal of women fascinating, as well as the historic element. Having visited Belfast this year it reminded me of much of the tour I had.

Still struggling through... it's not that I'm not finding it interesting. And clever. But it's so detailed and tangent prone...

Hmm. I was keen to read this... it's a challenge so far.
Very wordy with no character names meaning my brain is working very hard! 😣😁

Not a taxing read in terms of style but a gripping story of terrifying possibility.

Flippin eck! Scary stuff that seems closer to happening...
Proper tones of Handmaid's Tale.
Can't. Stop. Reading. 😆😆😆

I've wanted to read this for ages do was thrilled to find a copy on a charity shelf. Just starting it...
Figured was quite timely given The Testaments is out in two days.

Cracking good dystopia fiction.
I liked the plot, ending was good and the short chapters kept me going.

Young adult dystopia fiction.
Good so far!

Such a fab cover!
I'm hoping this isn't too hallucnagenic... a bit of craziness is fine!

Well. Bloody good book. We'll written. I liked how the characters narrated.
I came away thinking a lot about Roy. At first I had pure sympathy for him but that decreased and I began to dislike him. But towards the end o admired him more. Undecided about him.

I love the cover of this edition that I got in a charity shop.
I have high hopes for it as I've read so many reviews and it received such high literary praise.

Not at all what I expected but rather enticing!

So my previous read was Signature of All Things.
This has some definite similarities... not at all what I was expecting.

Giving this a try...

Undecided!
I found it kept me reading and linking the characters and plot until the last few chapters... specifically the penultimate chapter.

I decided to try this one. It has mixed reviews on here so I'm unsure how it'll be.
Three chapters in and I see how the characters intertwine. It's pretty good flowing at the moment.

Oooh when you house sit for a friend and find two books you want to read!

Well I'm exceeding pleased that I gave this another try.
I found the details so intriguing, and in such depth. I appreciated the actual story and found myself wanting to find d out more about botany!

Second attempt at this book and I'm enjoying it much more :)

I'm undecided.
I liked the fact that there was a true philosophical tone to this... however, he did seem to have a lot of extremely good fortune throughout. Maybe I'm too cynical!
Still think it's an awesome cover 😊😉

Hoping this really is an amazing story!

Today I needed some light hearted reading or viewing.
This is hitting the spot perfectly.
