Its about some obsessive stalker who works at a book store... a girl walks in and he likes the look of her, and likes the things she says. The book is written to her.. example, "and then you walked into my bookstore..."

No it's a real book!! It's messed up. Pretty racey and graphic.
The Family Way

Moving and relatable

Its a memoir of a woman's struggle with alcoholism... I feel it could be a good movie. Bringing to light alcoholism in females.
Just finished reading Demian by Herman Hesse. Great book
Just finished this one.....bloody hilarious, about a young man starting Uni and all that comes with it. I laughed out loud a few times...π

I guess, i'd post a page or two of it.
Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Destruction..(comedy)
And
The Husband's Secret..(thriller)

@Mr_PinchyYes, that was a joy to read. Great first-chapter hook, especially in establishing that the narrator's brother is the grand caliph. Reminded me of a modern-day true-to-life Dune.
Many thanks for the feedback. π

"i'm thinking of ending things"
by Iain Reid.veryyyy creepy and unnerving. read it in one sitting. to be fair i have time atm (holiday).
With remarkable, masterful skill, Iain Reid builds a plot that steadily crescendos into a harrowing endingone that will have you at the edge of your seats and one that you will never see coming. Thinking of Ending Things is an edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, this novel will pull you in from the very first page and will never let you go.
within the book the question of solitude vs relationships is brought up and it's pros and cons heavily weighed.
loved it. 4/5 stars.
Oooohh gonna get this one thanks!
I received the feminist book you recommended and will read that soon.
Too many books, too little time ππππ

so i checked your book rec on book-depo. oddly i am in a "crime mood" ...itΒ΄s in my basket.
i finished YOU - and guess what, the author, kepnes is a bloody scorp. AND there is a sequel ...."hidden bodies" wich is also in my basket ....
i also finished both bios.
the ice-man (richard kuklinski)
and the jodi arias case book written by the prosecutor, juan martinez.
all of them get 5 stars from me. iΒ΄ve had a very fruitful and engaging reading month; also my mobile phone broke and i really am reading more since that happened; using this old pre-historic model just the basics which is great. i can recommend that too. de tox.
just started eichmann in jerusalem ...i like arendts clear way of writing.
