Love
pickReally enjoyed this unique plot with all its drug discovery research aspects. This is a journey amidst Amazon forest with all the wonders & dangers where both self discovery & drug discovery goes hand in hand. I like the characterisation & intricate details ( ignoring some science facts, as it is fiction) This is my first 5 star read of the year 🥰😊😀
pickA fascinating read set mostly in the Amazon, Dr Annick Swenson is working on a drug which could help women's lives. But the pharmaceutical company haven't heard from her in ages, they send another doctor but then receive a letter saying he dead. Finally Dr Marina Singh is sent and what she discovers is astounding. I didn't really think I would enjoy this but I was very gripped from the beginning.
pickNot sure why I haven't read this book before because Ann Patchett is one of my favorite authors. Love her character development and her strong descriptions of setting. Also everything is not neatly tied up in a bow at the end and perhaps that's why she always leaves me wanting to come back for more of her writing.
pickNovak's novel, about a wealthy couple desperate to conceive & attempting fertility treatments gave me Rosemary's Baby vibes at first. Then it veered off into unexpected territory. I wholeheartedly recommend going into this one as blind as possible & I agree with King's blurb, "By turns terrifying and blackly funny." One of the most surprising horror novels I've read this year.

*I'd love a sequel to The Library at Mount Char
*Last book completed was Oryx and Crake. Wavered between 4-4.5 stars.
