β€œSci-Fi. DESPIIIIISED IT. Picked up Enders Game by Orson Scott Card for some reason, and it blew my absolute mind! Read it again as soon as I finished it. My pages fell out eventually. Finished the series, but nothing will compare to that first book.”

β€œI read almost always read the horror genre, but one day I stumbled on to All This I Will Give to You by Dolores Redondo. It is a beautiful general fiction(?) book from Italy about a man who's husband dies in a car accident, and while going to identify the body and plan the funeral, he meets the dead husband's family for the first time. It's about toxic family, toxic culture, secrets, and grief. 100% not the type of book I'd normal read as I hate family dramas, but this book was so good! I could not put it down! It is in my top 5 of all time fave books.”

β€œI don’t care for thriller/crime but I was blown away by The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo the first time I read it. I was absolutely hooked, I still love the OG written books (can’t bring myself to read the new ones).”
