Gabby | 10 comments finished Flesh (Flesh, #1) by Kylie Scott 5 stars- now I'm going to finish some manga that I've put off for a while


message 1263: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments oh boy, this Slow Horses is sooo good! I will really have to restrain myself from going straight to the library to borrow Dead Lions, the next book in the series. Unfortunately, the library doesn't have 2.5 The List: A Novella or 3 Real Tigers, so I'm going to have to make some other arrangement.... Book Depository, I think, for 3.

message 1287: by Diana (new)

Diana (secondhandrose) | 73 comments Yesterday I read Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba. It's an award winning Brazilian graphic novel. Very good.
Right now I'm reading Unchosen - The Memoirs of a Philo Semite by Julie Burchill.
Named in the 100 Worst Britons, you either love or hate Burchill. Interestingly this book was crowd funded. I love her work, always controversial, thought provoking and entertaining. Will read anything by her!

Diana (secondhandrose) | 73 comments I'm trying to work my way through all the books I've op shopped.
Right now I'm reading Homer's Odyssey I'm a sucker for real life animal stories.


message 1291: by Bec (new)

Bec (_becandbooks) Just finished Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty. Good book, review to come, interested in seeing the Netflix series now.

Part way through both All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders and The Mermaid's Daughter by Ann Claycomb. Absolutely adoring both of these and recommending them already.

Also downloading the graphic novel Everafter Vol. 1: The Pandora Protocol from DC Entertainment off Netgalley - illustrations look amazing.

Sorry about the lack of links today, currently on my phone from my parents place.
