The Raw and The Cooked

I first stumbled upon Tana French early last year when I read her sixth — and most recent — novel The Trespasser. Which was an excellent book, by the way! I really enjoyed French’s writing style and thought the twists at the end of the novel were very unpredictable and bone chilling.

And now, I want to binge read the entire Dublin Murder Squad series!

I listened to Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders back in January of this year. It’s been nearly six months since I’ve finished it, and I still can’t stop thinking about it.

Especially since I’m still talking about it as if I read it recently, and still trying to convince my husband to read (errm, listen) to it.

I’m typically not a huge fan of non-fiction books. Of course, it depends on the topic, but typically I find them slightly boring, even if they’re quite interesting. It’s hard for me to get into them and power through, regardless if it’s a hardcover, audiobook, or eBook. Gah!
