I actually read this on the plane home from Edinburgh after visiting The Real Mary King’s Close, and I think that made the whole experience even better. Being in those tunnels and then reading a story set in that atmosphere just hit differently.

Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito

This book was… disturbing. The dark humor is very dark and very over the top. At some point it almost feels theatrical, like Natty is winking at you while committing atrocities. Which I think is the point.
There are basically no likable characters. M

I heard it was “lyrical,” “genre-defying,” “beautiful.” And yes, the writing is genuinely gorgeous. Sentences that read like poems dressed up as essays were pretty much the highlight for me. If your hobby is admiring commas and semicolons, you’ll fee ...more

I really liked the topic and the message about the importance of books and reading. That part was nice. But honestly, it felt a little too pretentious to me, and also kind of dull. I kept thinking this could have worked much better as a children’s bo ...more

It was well written and genuinely enjoyable. It’s easy to read, fast-paced, and I flew through it. Plus, it’s queer, which immediately earned some bonus points from me.
That said… the length is also where it fell a bit short. Because it’s so brief, we

Definitely one of the most unusual books I’ve ever read. The entire story consists only of dialogue. There’s no description, no dialogue tags, and we never once get to read what the main character actually says. We’re placed in her position, but we d ...more

I had a really hard time getting into this story, and honestly, that struggle never fully went away. While I did like most of the characters and some of the conversations in Wonderland, everything else was… well… there.

I’ll admit it upfront: I bought this book for the cover. No grand intellectual reasoning, no careful research, just the false confidence that a pretty cover surely wouldn’t betray me. Hah, it did.
The Secret Shape of Worship is, objectively speaking,

Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
Rate this book
Clear rating
Tender Is The Flesh is kind of overhyped. Don’t get me wrong, the concept itself is great. The dystopian idea is disturbing and clever, and I can see why people praise it. But the execution just didn’t fully land for me.
I had a hard time getting into
