January 2024 reading wrap up | the first 10 books I read this year, is there a favourite already?!

[@RoisinsReading]

I enjoyed study for obedience, the ominous feeling hanging over it, the family history that hinted at high control religion, the sneaking antisemitism of the town and the almost absurdist humour really worked for me. The style was so meandering it was a little bit of a dizzying read but I liked that.

loved this! I recently read the Rachel incident as an audiobook in a day on a long train journey and enjoyed it sm, so plotty while still touching on heavy topics thx for the rec

[@hannahmay11]

that is the perfect situ to read it in! I have finished her back catalogue now 😭 I need more

[@romalibra_books]

Also The Fifth Season was mind blowing. I am not the biggest fantasy fan because I get lost but this one had a literary feel and was very politically active which I think you would love

[@byemonamour]

you’re my go-to books person for literary fiction, always so on point 🥹

[@hannahmay11]

😌❤️ thank you

I listened to The Rachel Incident in just over a day, was completely hooked! Is it your favourite one by her?

[@hannahmay11]

Yes it is! But I did really enjoy scenes of a graphic nature it’s different but also a gripping story

[@romalibra_books]

I really loved A Kind of Spark, A Woman is No Man and Gentrification is Inevitable and Other Lies, the audiobooks were great

[@hannahmay11]

Oh gentrification and other lies looks great!

[@romalibra_books]

@@hannahmay11 the audiobook is on Everand!

I liked Promising Young Woman and agree with all your points. It’s the only book by this author so far, and I really liked the writing. Hoping to read The Rachel Incident in March. I’m intrigued by Wellness, but I’m currently in a not-wanting-to-commit-to-long-books phase. Haha!

[@hannahmay11]

Definitely check out the Rachel incident! 🌸 it’s brilliant. Haha yes I’m probably re entering that phase too
