36 Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. A fascinating read. Highly recommend.
37 Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. Very disappointing end. Gripping up until that point.
38 The Vegetarian by Han Kang. Great read.
39 Cilka's Diary by Heather Morris.
40 The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. Needed more development.
41 Becoming by Michelle Obama.
42 The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta. Great YA/LGBTQI+ read.
43 They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. This book really was heartbreaking. It's not often a book makes me cry but this one did.
44 Idaho by Emily Ruskovich.
Absolutely hated this. A hard slog. The blurb at the back of the book is misleading as to what the book will be about.
45 If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha.
Really enjoyed this. Looks at the lives of 4 South Korean women in Seoul.
46 Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters.
47 Almond by Sohn Won-pyung.
48 The White Book by Han Kang.
49 Disappear Doppelganger Disappear by Matthew Salesses.
A strange book.
50 Bunny by Mona Awad.
Interestingly disturbing.
51 The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
52 Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman.
53 Please Look After Mother by Kyung Sook Shin.
54 Cult Following: My escape and return to the Children of God by Bexy Cameron.
55 The Great Passage by Shion Miura.
An enjoyable read about a publishing group in Tokyo creating a dictionary called 'The Great Passage.
56 The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa.
An excellent read if you are interested in dystopian literature.
57 The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix.
Very enjoyable. Perfect for Halloween!
Finished Ken Bruen's Priest. Another brilliant entry in the Galway authors Jack Taylor crime series. At times witty, at times funny and at times noir but always a real page turner. Loved it.
Must add it to my ever lengthening list!
58 The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima.
Disturbing in parts.
I would for sure highly recommend him. I first read one of his books a couple of years ago and have now read the first 5 of his Jack Taylor series and absolutely love them. Highly recommend Ken Bruen. I liked the first few so much I already have bought all the other books in his Jack Taylor series and have them sitting on my to read shelves.
59 When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal.
60 Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto.
Fantastic book and I also loved the additional novella called 'Moonlight Shadow'.
I have officially met my goal of 60 books for 2021!
