So glad you enjoyed Less Than Zero! I have it on my summer tbr and am excited to get to it! I read The Shards earlier this year and Glamorama recently and I just love how easy it is to read him while also being highly entertained!

i've actually never read any of his books but this has now convinced me to (:

I read four books this month, two romances, a thriller, and a fantasy romance! I started another thriller last night so potentially five if I finish within the next few days

The Covenant of Water is on my list to pick up soon (I'm trying to make a deal with myself, to read at least 3 books for every new book I get- I'm not doing too well here though). I'm currently reading "And Then She Fell" by Alicia Elliott, about a woman who just had a baby and goes through these mental states of dissociation and strange things happening. The Author is doing a free event next weekend in my small city I'm going to, and very excited about

that's such a good idea karen and probs one I should adopt myself as I'm buying too many books but don't want to put myself on a book buying ban! ooo 'and then she fell' sounds v intriguing, i'm def going to check it out!

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Sally Rooney. I also wanted to like her, but find that her characters are fairly one dimensional & difficult to empathize with.

I read Less than Zero and watched the movie ages ago, but I remember they are quite different. Isn't the ending different?

I dnfed Beautiful World, where are you?, struggled through Conversations with Friends(I still don't understand the dynamic between the characters) and I'm only a lover of Normal People because of the show and you know there's a problem if the show is better than the book.
