Charly Dork (she/they)#FediBookClub started Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley. It’s such a page turner, beautiful and fierce. Showing the barriers of repatriation of Native American items and people. It’s scathing, passionate and blunt like the main character. #AngelineBoulley #WarriorGirlUnearthed
I’ve just started We Solve Murders by Richard Osman. I enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club books and thought why not try this. He has such a jovial and grounded way of writing it makes me want to keep reading. Anyone else reading on read these books? #FediBookClub #WeSolveMurders #RichardOsman
Started Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata - no spoilers - I’m enjoying it so much it’s not what I expected. Stepping into Keiko’s mind has been brilliant. Anyone else reading? #ConvenienceStoreWoman #FediBookClub #SayakaMurata what book club # are people using?
A great shortish, easy read. It’s gorgeous, stepping into Hora’s mind and world. A beautiful and strange life. I enjoyed the metaphor of their bright yellow raincoat, that maybe is more spiritual than metaphor, when you find that all adults wear something I started to wonder what I wear. Sometimes I think maybe a sleeping bag, or something the constricts around my chest. Have you read this? What clothing item do you spiritually wear? #FediBookClub

Read a good chunk of ‘When the Museum is Closed’ by EMI Yagi. It’s so easy to read and I’m very much enjoying the descriptions of the world and the metaphors so far. Anyone else reading or read it? #FediBookClub #reading
I finished reading The Fortune Teller this morning, my mum lent it to me as I’d ran out of fiction to read. It’s ‘trashy’ and I have enjoyed it, I wanted to keep going which is good.
I stopped reading wintering, I don’t think it’s a bad book it’s just very middle class and I just couldn’t connect with it.
Now on to ‘When the Museum is Closed’ Have you enjoyed reading / listening to anything of late? #JoinIn #reading #FediBookClub

Becca 🌳🚀🛀Read my first Murakami today. Fun little ready and very lovingly illustrated.
If you enjoy your Kafka or Oyamada you might enjoy this one too.
The Lady of the Lake by Jean Menzies - 7/10
This book took me a little be surprise. With its YA feel, I didn't expect the writing to be so mature or the plot deal with some heavy topics such as SA.
But, it was a good surprise. I enjoyed this read and felt my skin crawling, as intended, with the mythologically correct Merlin character.
The pacing was a little off but it was a fun read and I'd recommend it to anyone into fantasy.
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab - 5/10
All summer I had been waiting to read this but held off to save it for my holiday. Well, I finally had that holiday and, unfortunately, ended up really disappointed.
Maybe my expectations for this were too high and I'm being unfair, but this just didn't do anything for me.
The structure was complicated and detracted from the story and the ending felt incredibly rushed and pointless. In the rush, the character who we come to know and follow through most of the story is suddenly cast aside as soon as moral conflict arises.
A shame.
