I’m so glad you liked North Woods, I’m never sure what people are going to make of it. when I collected my preorders from the bookshop last week I saw the bookseller reading it and she wasn’t very far in / considering giving up. I almost fell to my knees begging her to give it a chance, it makes you work so hard at the start but once you’re in it you’re in it 🌳🥄 I really need to get on with The Safe Keep, the Booker has totally passed me by this year but I’ve seen consistent positive reviews for that one x
I think because I was really aware that North Woods was going to be almost short stories I had already geared myself up for a slower start, but I actually really loved it from the start! The Safe Keep seems like a very you book!
I read Black Butterflies last year. If the subject interests you, and you can cope with triggering topics I would highly recommend S. by Slavenka Drakulic ☺️
@@GemofBooks I read the summary and it sounds like a hard read. But the author has a few books I may try first as several have really peaked my interest. Thanks for the information. I so appreciate new books to investigate and the Balkans and what I've learned so far has been eye opening.
I had almost checked out What You Need from the library so now I will definitely read it. Wild Houses and Love Marriage sound good too. It’s amazing how some titles sound so good like Same Bed. (There ought to be a law against giving a horrible book a catchy title 😂)
Dutch books are not usually on my radar, since I get most of my recommendations from booktube and most booktubers I follow are either from the US or the UK. But I will put The Safekeep on my list it sounds interesting. I will also check out Love Marriage. I did read Brick Lane and I liked it, but I didn't love it. However I liked it well enough to try another book by her.
North Woods was a great book that I had low expectations from. But some occupants literally made me chuckle 😂. I've seen and enjoyed Death Note the anime.
North Woods exceeded my expectations too! I’ve heard that the Death Note Anime is really good, though I don’t watch much tv, so not sure I’ll ever get to it 😂
I’m looking guards to What You are Looking for is in the Library. Also have been pondering picking North Woods. You’ve been doing well with the books mate! 🥄
I really enjoyed Stone Yard Devotional and hope it wins the Booker Prize, it’s a bit of a marmite book though as I’ve seen mixed reviews on it. Don’t judge me😂
You liked North Woods… . I guess I have to read My Friends now. I haven’t read it yet because I didn’t think I’d like it, but based on your comments here I guess I will.🤓
My guy at Waterstones was raving about north wood. Do you think I would like it. Oh and I’m way too dumb for all the booker and other prize stuff other than woman’s price 😂😂 🥄
Loved Safekeep too 🥄
Yay!! 🥳

Reading the SafeKeep. Thanks for your thoughts. Just finished Black Butterflies by Morris about siege in Sarajevo. Great read. Loved it.

Yeah for Deathnote being so high 💀🥄❤
So much fun! I’m waiting for my hold on volume 2 to come in from the library 🤩

If only the titles reflected the quality of the book 😂😂

The Safekeep and Love Marriage are definitely worth a go 👍🏻

What You’re Looking For is great for when you’re in the mood for a lighter read 🥰

Not at all!! If we all liked the same books BookTube would be a very boring place!! I’m still backing James for the win though 😜
@@GemofBooks I just wonder if James is too popular a read to win. We shall see….
You had a good month! I read 12 books in August, the best being Because of Winn-Dixie. 🥰 🥄
I love Because of Winn Dixie!!❤
A good month for you too then matey 😃🥄
