🥹🥹 happy readibg

[@keelinover5584]

thirst was very good. definitely a modern, feminist take on a vampire story and the fact that it doesn't all happen in europe is even better

[@hannahmay11]

Sounds brill!! 📚📚

I’ve heard good things about shred sisters, the author is Patti smith’s editor, but I’ll be waiting for your review before deciding whether to read it

[@hannahmay11]

Oh interesting behind the scenes knowledge !!

[@hannahmay11]

I'll check it out!

Thirst is by an Argentinian author! It’s soo goood!! I read it last year during October and I finished it at the cemetery it is set in. You need to read it, it’s great!

@@alem7224 I’m a little scared but I’ll give it a go !!

I have Shred Sisters from Netgalley and want to get to it. I've read some of Jami Attenberg and am not sure you'd like her fiction. I would recommend you start with All This Could Be Yours. It's a family drama. Several of these sound very interesting. I agree that it's hard to read about M.E. When I deal with it every day, books that focus on it/feature M.E. tend to add to the exhaustion and can cause a reading slump for me. Opus sounds very interesting. I listen to Dark Money by Jane Mayer, which infuriates me as an American. Another great list!

[@hannahmay11]

Interesting I’ll check out that title of hers. Yes totally agree it doesn’t feel like an escape at all when I’m reading about symtoms aha

[@maoribookworm]

Looking forward to Nobody's Empire! It doesn't come out until Jan in Aotearoa sadly :(( Although the content will be dark in places, I'm hoping like all of Murdoch's work, it will be balanced with sweet melodic undertones

[@hannahmay11]

i hope you enjoy when it gets to you!! x

[@kyliemaslen5969]

i read ROOM FOR A STRANGER by melanie cheng and enjoyed it. i do think her work borders on the twee like you said, but still filled a need i had at the time. also fun fact: she’s a GP.
