April 12th, 2019 || READING WRAP-UP n° 4: books 15-19. . 🌻 Pure by Rose Cartwright. Memoir about the author suffering a type of OCD which involves experiencing sexual (and violent) intrusive thoughts. This was really good and difficult to read but I highly recommend it (8.5/10). The Channel 4 series inspired by the book is also very good. 🌻 The Idiot by Elif Batuman. Quite a surprising book. I enjoyed it even though I thought it wasn’t gonna be a book for me. I was wrong. It was a fascinating read although not a perfect one (7/10). 🌻 Remembered by Yvonne Battle-Felton. The thing I loved the most about this novel was the writing. So beautiful! But unfortunately, although a good read, I found myself losing interest at the middle and my reading experience suffered for it. TW for sexual assault (6/10). 🌻 How Long ‘til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin. A solid short story collection. As always I enjoyed some stories more than others but I find Jemisin’s writing extremely compelling (6.8/10). 🌻 The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. This was good but not as brilliant as I was expecting considering the hype around it. Trigger warnings for absolutely everything you can think of and then some. There are moments which are very difficult to read and hard to digest but at the same time I didn’t feel like it was too much... maybe because I was expecting it to be brutal. Not a perfect book (it does have some inconsistencies and I found Rin’s character quite annoying during the second half of the book due to her stupid decisions - she just kept changing her mind every other page) but a good start of a series nonetheless (7.5/10). . Have you finished any book lately? • • • #readingwrapup #recentreads #thepoppywar #remembered #womensprize #theidiot #howlongtilblackfuturemonth #pure #fantasybook #scifibooks #literaryfiction https://www.instagram.com/adayinbookland/p/BwKjq8VH7Rt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tnnvwpxcp5qf
