Published in : 2020 Format read in : ebook Location : Los Angeles, US Rating : 4/5 Why I read it : I believe I saw this book first on the Morning's ToB longlist and then same day came across a copy in my library's Overdrive catalog and decided to read it. One line review : A slow mental destruction waiting to happen, live, as you read the book - not fun but also reinforces how easy it is to miss the signs. Who should read it : If a little stream-of-consciousness and reading about mental illness is something you gravitate towards, I would recommend this book to you. Soon, you’ll have your own beautiful boy or girl who will look at you with their perfect little face and you’ll feel love and hope and, mostly, you’ll feel the weight of everything that’s ever happened to you and everything that will ever happen to them and you’ll want to run. Thoughts : At the beginning of Pizza Girl , we learn that our unnamed protagonist is pregnant, just out of high school, and working as a pizz
I seem to have had a good couple of weeks in books. It feels good to read and know that I still enjoy it as much as I always did. Currently, I have seven books waiting to be reviewed, and I'm slowly beginning to knock those out of the backlog.
This weekend, I started reading How to be a Good Wife by Emma Chapman. It's one fast book - the comparisons of this book with Gone Girl and Before I Go to Sleep is what intrigued me initially, but I hope it is less like the latter than it seems to be hinting so far. Chapman's book holds a lot of mystery and gives you the feeling that something is not quite right with this picture but you're not yet sure where to place your bets.
Today, I'll begin listening to The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. This is one of those nonfiction titles I've heard plenty about but never wanted to read because I don't read nonfiction well. But I've been having great success with nonfiction on audio, making books like these more accessible to me. There are plenty of discs on this audiobook to keep me busy for a good long period.
Next in the list
I have three good books lined up after How to be a Good Wife. Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane is top on my list. I've only read one Gaiman book previously (Coraline), which didn't impress me much. But I'm hoping this one will change that opinion. The other two titles are Always Watching by Chevy Stevens and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.
Review Backlog (Any that you want to see first?)
1. The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald
2. Can you Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
3. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
4. In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson
5. The Boy Who Could See Demons by Carolyn Jess-Cooke
6. The Baby-Sitters Club graphic series by Raina Telgemeier
7. Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
