The Psychopath- that must be a book about trumpie. :)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely would have been more interesting that way! It was so poorly written and awkward, I am surprised it was a Prime Reads choice. Like, I have read some shitty Prime choices before, but it was more a matter of events/characters in the story being dumb or illogical. This was completely a poor writing skill fail.
DeleteA pretty good haul this week.

Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas
A good haul for you, indeed! I am so looking forward to your thoughts on Concrete Rose. I can't remember if I have asked already, did you already read The Hate U Give?
DeleteYes, I have read The Hate U Give. Loved it and the movie too!
DeleteI still have not seen the movie. I want to, but I also loved the book so much that I don't know if I could love it nearly as much. It does make me feel better that you love them both; I probably will too in that case.
DeleteJust 2 for me this week:
ReplyDeleteFiction:
The Liberation by Ian Tregillis
Non-Fiction:
A Game of Birds and Wolves - The Secret Game that Revolutionised the War by Simon Parkin
Nice. I like when you choose non-fiction war books that focus on military - I am less likely to read those and it gives my TBR a chance to breathe, lol :)
DeleteI keep thinking I'm reading too much WW1/WW2 stuff and then, when I check, realise that actually I'm hardly reading any. I do want to read more of the 'odd' stories though - not so much battles and stuff but things like prison escapes, espionage, the home front/women & children's experiences, special forces..... Things like that.
DeleteThat's definitely where my interest lies. I have never been much for military history. The closest I've come, is reading about the attack on Pearl Harbor. I would rather read about those topics you mentioned, the societal impacts of the wars, the homefront, escapes, etc.
DeleteCan't wait to read Concrete Rose. Great haul this week!

Thanks Lisa! I really liked it but I don't think anything will ever compare to The Hate U Give.
