Books about books have been a favourite genre since my best friend and I read Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman at 16 (& found the phrase "toasted mostly" so charming, we texted it to each other as shorthand.) Have been looking forward to Nilanjana Roy's The Girl Who Ate Books as a result, because the conversations Nilanjana and I have had about books have always been vastly entertaining. I'm not disappointed: this is my childhood in books as well, and every adult who was a child clamouring for more stories will love it. (there's memories of grown up reading too, but I haven't reached that far.) Read, therefore, and recognise yourself. #nowreading #250in2016 #readingchallenge #bookstagram
