Help! I’ve been reading a lot of books that I liked but didn’t love, or books I thought I’d love that turned out to be disappointing. I need some guaranteed winners!
Books I’ve loved in the last few years: Homegoing, Stoner, Convenience Store Woman, Animal Farm, The Locked Tomb series, The Broken Earth trilogy, The Secret History, Into Thin Air, Frankenstein
Books that I wanted to like but found underwhelming: Priory of the Orange Tree, Women Talking, The Song of Achilles, A Walk in the Woods, When Women Were Dragons, This Is How You Lose the Time War, Anna Karenina
I like classics, non-fiction, literary fiction, sweeping narratives, fantasy, sci fi, mystery…pretty much anything but horror. Give me some of your favourites!
