Friday night reading. Gorgeous prose 💕 #2018manbookerprizelonglist

As a rule, I love British crime fiction. I found this to be disappointing. While it had some interesting twists and turns and was a fast read, I found it largely unbelievable and at times ludicrous. Not Man Booker Prize material, in my opinion. #2018ManBookerPrizeLonglist

Sunday morning reading. #2018ManBookerPrizelonglist

First #2018ManBookerPrizeLonglist title finished. I wasn‘t sure how I would like this. Turns out it was much better than I expected. The subject matter was unpleasant, but I thought the author handled it well. My only real issue was with the various points of view and how they were presented. It‘s definitely worth reading, but I‘m not convinced (yet) it should win the Booker Prize. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Taking a deep breath, and going in.

Today‘s library haul! I found a couple of the 2018 Man Booker Prize titles, The Mars Room By Rachel Kushner and Snap by Belinda Bauer. The tagged title is a debut novel (not on the longlist). I‘m in the mood for trying some new-to-me authors, so I‘m hoping these will fit the bill. #libraryhaul #2018manbookerprizelonglist
