Human Croquet

I pulled out a bunch of random titles from my towering TBR to reacquaint myself. I love reshuffling my stacks from time to time! Are there any titles here I should move to the top of my list?

Ruthiella I need to read that Atkinson title myself! I‘ve owned it for over a decade. 😳 10mo

sarahbarnes I loved Conversations with Friends and it‘s a quick read! 10mo

cariashley @Ruthiella I think that‘s definitely the one I‘ve had the longest 😅 10mo

Human Croquet | Kate Atkinson

pick

This throws some twists and turns like Atkinson‘s later work, but is a bit loose in its construction; something like a written version of a Jane Austin-esque Masterpiece Theater sciFi adaptation… thoroughly enjoyed it!

Crazy story! I loved it.
Took a while to get used to her way of writing and narration but totally worth it. 🤗🤗🤗

#AyUpAugust #Human I haven't read this one yet, but it's on my bookshelf- time travel and a 300-year-old family curse sound intriguing!
@Cinfhen @squirrelbrain

Cinfhen It does sound great interesting and it‘s Kate Atkinson 🤗🤗 (edited) 5y

squirrelbrain Great choice! ❤️ 5y

This is what came to mind with #Human. Own a copy, which had for a number of years, but yet I read it. Has anyone read it?

Cinfhen, squirrelbrain

CaroPi I have not but is also in my TBR 5y

Jilly6183 I haven‘t read this one but I‘ve read her other two and enjoyed them. Adding this to my stack! 5y

Cinfhen Sounds promising 5y

Andrew65 @Jilly6183 I‘ve read 4 of hers and enjoyed them all so not sure why I‘ve yet to pick this up yet. 5y

squirrelbrain Good choice! Love that cover too... 💚 5y

Andrew65 @squirrelbrain A simple but effective cover. 5y

MommyWantsToReadHerBook This book was so weird but so good. One scene weirdly mixed in my brain with my hypnobirthing relaxations I was listening to at the time 😂 This book stayed with me for a long time, I actually still think about it sometimes. 5y

Andrew65 @MommyWantsToReadHerBook Some of her books are, like the tagged books and Life After Life, And A God in Ruins but really enjoyed them. A great review and a great story. 👍😊 Good how some books remind us of events in our life.

I‘m excited by my very small #bookhaul from my long weekend in England! Given how many bookstores I wandered into, it‘s a small miracle I had the restraint not to buy more 😊

One of my #autobuyauthors is Kate Atkinson. I will buy anything and everything that she writes. Some of them that I own are ebooks that I bought when they were on sale so they aren't pictured here. #marchintoreading

saresmoore I must read her! Life After Life is steadily moving up my TBR. 7y

Ncostell @saresmoore I loved Life After Life. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it 😀 7y

MrsMalaprop Me too ❤. Have only read Beautiful Ruins and Life After Life. I was excited to see there so many more of hers for me to enjoy, including all those here in your stack 👏😊. 7y

MrsMalaprop Would you recommend any of these in particular for me to try next? 7y

Ncostell @MrsMalaprop I would recommend Case Histories which is the first in her four book Jackson Brodie series which is a blend of a hard boiled detective novel with literary fiction. Those are great reads too, very different from Life After Life. 7y

mcipher I've read some of her old stuff (Jackson Brody - thanks @Ncostell !) but I have to read Life After Life. It's been on my list for a long time. (edited) 7y

Ncostell @mcipher Hope you enjoy Life After Life, I thought it was fabulous! 7y

cariashley Same. Love her 🙌 7y

#thiscovermakesnosense #readjanuary. Maybe if I read these books the covers would make sense. My friend is holding my books near her Snowdrops. No rain today 🤞

Human Croquet | Kate Atkinson

This is my pick for #Recommendsday: Atkinson plays wonderful games with place and time. This book is odd, but in a good way. It is full of mystery, suspense, confusing twists, magical language and eerie fairy-tale-like moments. You definitely should read this!

shawnmooney I loved her Life After Life - went on my short list of all-time favorite novels. I hadn't heard of this one - thanks! 8y

KarenUK I hadn't heard of it either... Thanks! - adding to the TBR :) 8y

MrBook You've talked me into it. 8y

Alena Oh how I love Kate Atkinson. I also appreciate that you chose one of her lesser known books. 8y
