Have you read any good books lately?

Being without a current novel and finding nothing really appealing in Tesco’s second hand bookstall, I picked up Whistle in the Dark. When I got home I found it was by Emma Healy who wrote Elizabeth is Missing which I really enjoyed. This one looks good too. She has another one called Sweat coming out next January.

A good book for me has to be something I remember long after reading and in some way changes the way I see the world.
The last one I read that made an impression on me was Crave The Rose by Nick Holland. It was more than just a biography of Anne Bronte, often overlooked by her more famous sisters. It was so well written and included a selection of her poems I had never read before.
It opened my eyes to a woman who suffered much but had an inspiring sense of her own self-worth and Christian faith.
I recommend to anyone who is interested in the more famous literary sisters but wants a new perspective on these extraordinary women.

Try Anne Tyler. Love all her books.
