A Book-ish Round-Up, Part 2
Continuing my book-ish round up, in case you are looking for some recs!
1. The Book That No One Wanted to Read, by Richard Ayoade, illustrated by Tor Freeman. I didn't want to read it either, oops. (I was not the target audience!)
2. I Have Some Questions for You, by Rebecca Makkai
It's a book set in the boarding school that the protagonist went to when she was a student (and is now teaching podcasting at). When she was in school, her ex-roommate was murdered and now her students want to make a podcast about it. As someone who doesn’t care for true crime podcasts, I see the hype and it’s pretty good, but I find it difficult to review. If you like true crime, you might like it!
3. Skin Again, by bell hooks, illustrated by Chris Raschka
The illustrations are gorgeous and this is an important book!
4. Don't Want You Like a Best Friend, by Emma R. Alban For fans of Bridgerton and Parent Trap (and Taylor Swift!), this is a cute little Sapphic Victorian rom-com. So basically a book for me, I guess?
5. The Bandit Queens, by Parini Shroff
A book about a woman who is an outcast in India. She is thought to have murdered her husband and now some other wives want her help in murdering their husbands.
I love me a badass crime-doing woman (women!), sorry not sorry. It's sad and funny and it really picked up towards the end! Get ready with pitchforks guys.
