My quest to “read my own damn library” began with the idea of reading three books by authors whose names start with each letter of the alphabet.
Turns out I don’t have a lot of A authors but I picked out three:
Leave me by dying by Rosemary Aubert
The Storygraph key words: emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced
My key words : slow and tedious.
It was very nifty though for the setting I thought – 1960s Toronto; and he’s a law student in the book so I know lots of the places and that was the only redeeming thing for me really. So much so that I happily put this book, and another by Rosemary Aubert, in a local little free library. Hey! This whole “declutter by reading” thing may actually work.
The Greenway by Jane Adams
The Storygraph key words: fiction crime mystery thriller dark mysterious tense fast-paced
My version: British rural mystery. My usual love. Ugh. It was awful. But yippie! Another book out of the house.
Ghosts by Dolly Alderton
I’m not sure where this came from. Wait – yes I do, I ordered a sweet reads box and it was in that. Anyway, definitely something I wouldn’t have read otherwise.
The Storygraph key words: fiction contemporary emotional slow-paced
My summary: A comedy sort of; a realistic story also. A romance. Definitely not my usual genre. Gosh I loved it. Seriously. Not enough that I would read it again or anything so this one went off to SWCBNOF and there we go, three for three out of the house.
