Stolen from @Funktious as I thought it was such a great idea: a thread of all the books I read in a year.
Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hession, read for a #bookgroup that unanimously loved it. Set in modern day Ireland, it's a contemplative and gently humorous story of two men who in their own ways don't fit in to the world. It's lovely, and quite different in tone to the TV adaptation that treats them as a couple of kooky misfits. They are so much more than that. #books #bookstodon 🧵1
The Book Group reading for Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, from the recent Knives Out film, Wake Up, Dead Man (yes, those are actually real books name-checked in the movie, you can read them!)
