Friday is here! It’s time for another book haul. Today I’ve got three paperbacks for you, one of which I’ve already read - The Things We Do For Love which I buddy read with my lovely sister @chrissireads It was a difficult read for me on one level but I really enjoyed the story and will have my review up soon. It follows a seventeen year old girl who has a difficult relationship with her mother and a woman in her 30’s who is desperate to be a mother. Little Scratch is all the fault of the gorgeous @victoria_catherine_shaw who told me I had to get my mitts on this book. It is the story of a day in the life of an unnamed woman, living in a lower-case world of demarcated fridge shelves and office politics; clock watching and What’s App notifications. The protagonist tells us how she gets through morning to night whilst processing recent sexual violence. Finally, we have another translated work from @tiltedaxisbooks which I’ve become slightly obsessed with. I’ll Go On is a story from one of South Korea’s most acclaimed young authors about two sisters, Sora and Nana. When the girls are young, they lose their father in a horrific freak accident and their mother, Aeja becomes unhealthily obsessed with the violence in life. It’s a stunning exploration of the intensity of early bonds and the traces they leave on us as we grow up. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a lovely weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookhaul #cantstophauling #prettypaperbacks #tiltedaxispress #smallpresssupport #kristinhannah #thethingswedoforlove #littlescratch #rebeccawatson #illgoon #hwangjungeun #emilyyaewon #translatedfiction #literaryfiction #contemporaryfiction #lovingbooks #mybookcollection #onthetbr #bookhoarder #bookcollector #booksforlife #booksforever #authorsnewtome #favouriteauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/CaIUYwirXcg/?utm_medium=tumblr
