Library love.

This month I've been reading these lovely library books,

Library Love. Love Notes for Freddie - Eva Rice Nimona - Noelle Stevenson Going Vintage - Lindsey Leavitt Bodies of Light - Sarah Moss #ukbookblog secondhandsusie.blogspot.co.uk

Love Notes for Freddie - Eva Rice
I really like Eva Rice's writing, Love Notes for Freddie is similar to her other books.  I love the retro setting, and that it features characters from one of her other books (The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets).  I think her writing is all dream-y and vintage-y.  

Nimona - Noelle Stevenson
I think Nimona is my favourite graphic novel ever.  Everrrr.  It's funny and sweet and awesome and you should definitely read it!

Going Vintage - Lindsey Leavitt
Mallory finds a list made by her grandmother in the early sixties and in the aftermath of a public social media breakup with her boyfriend, she swears off modern technology and tries to complete grandma's list.  I really got into this YA novel, it's cute and sweet.

Bodies of Light - Sarah Moss
All the way through reading this I found it really disturbing and kept saying I didn't like it.  But now I've finished it I can't stop thinking about it!  From the cover, it sounds like this book will be a lovely story about Victorians and Suffragettes and Pre-Raphaelites, but it's not really.  I've ordered the follow up!

What have you been reading?

  1. I loved Bodies Of Light, such a thought-provoking book. Her second novel, which pre-dates Bodies... is also amazing, and explains what happens to the sister in Scotland. It's called Night Waking.

    1. Hoe you enjoy them if you find them! Eva Rice has done a couple of books I've really liked (the other is The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp)

  3. Nice short and sweet reviews (wish I could do this but I just ramble on hence why I stopped doing them!). Oh YES, the secret island with Jack, Peggy, Nora and Mike!??!?! That was brilliant- they were so resourceful selling the mushrooms, strawberries and blackberries from the Uncle's old farm, getting the cow to swim, skinning the rabbits (sorry, I know you're vegan but it was very resourceful for kids!). That IS one brilliant place, I had forgotten about it!!

    1. I have to make a real effort to write something short about books, otherwise I ramble and give the plot away!

      And Yesssss The Secret Island! I'm glad you remember it too :D I spent soo much time thinking about how I'd sustain myself on that island, I'm sure it's affected me as an adult!
