I’m reading 35 books this year, as you may recall. I made a video about the first six.

Books mentioned:

1. Asking For It by Lilah Pace, as recommended on Book Riot
2. The Hunter and the Wild Girl by Pauline Holdstock, with thanks to Goose Lane Editions
3. The Outside Circle by Patti Laboucane-Benson
4. The Vegetarian by Han Kang
5. Mislaid by Nell Zink
6. In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner

The first six of the year were a bit of a bust. The Vegetarian blew me away at first, but hasn’t stuck with me. Since then, I’ve read two phenomenal books, which you will hear more about soon: Birdie by Tracey Lindberg and Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood.
