I still need to read The Secret History. I like the fifth prompt. There’s a few authors for me where that’s the case. My fave is Station Eleven by Mandel too. That book is HUGE!!! 😊💙
Hi Katherine, lovely tag. I have had Donna Tartt in my wish list for the longest time and still haven't found the right motivation yet! I'am with you on Russian literature 😅
I read "The Familiar" when it came out, my first book by Leigh Bardugo, and I thought it was, alright, pretty average, I thought it was a bit confusing at time, but I'd be interested to know what you think about it ! If you like her writing, she wrote "Six of Crows", which is a duology, I can let it to you if you're interested, that is really good ! Super fast paced and great characters 👍
Silent Spring is difficult to read as it is frustrating to learn how casually we used chemicals in the environment in the post WW2 era - and how we ignored warnings from concerned scientists. Rachel Carson was so intelligent and she did make a difference before cancer took her life. This book was a slow read for me as I kept getting angry and I would have to walk away for awhile. The Secret History was well written - but honestly I did not like this book. I finished it - but I did not keep the book in my collection. I don't think I am a dark academia reader. I keep wondering if I should try Goldfinch.
This is such an interesting tag, thanks for tagging me 😊 I will get to it late in August after I get back from my break.
