Books

The Golden Fool

author: Robing Hobb
genre: Fantasy
status:
rating: TBC

My favourite dysfunctional characters are up to antics again, I'm crying, I'm sobbing, I love this world and these characters andI'm in PAIN and I love Fitz and I love the Fool and I cannot be normal about these books ever.

Butter

I have some mixed feelings on this book. I love any book that writes lusciously about food, and that was honestly mostly why I picked it up in the first place, and it delivered! But boy the last bit really started to drag. I kind of had to force myself to sit down and chew through the last of it. And thats not to say it's a bad ending!! I actually loved the ending, it was a satisfying conclusion. It just really slowed down.

Nevertheless, it's a book I really enjoying sharing time with, and having it roll around in my brain for the few weeks it took to finish it. I love the statements on society too, every character involved felt like they had good reason to believe and say these things, and it made them all so real to me. I had a great time with it, for the most part. The end was just a bit of a slog.

The Book of Goose

author: Yiyun Li
genre: Contemporary fiction

rating:

An understated and slightly dreamy book that will be easily recognisable to anyone who grew up with a friend whom you idolised and followed everywhere. It's a strangely detached book,the style of writing always somehow keeps you at arm's reach, even when it's truly letting you see into our narrator's mind. It's an odd little book. But I enjoyed it, I think. I certainly read it happily. I underlined a lot of passages.
