1. Flowers In the Attic by V.C.Andrews … Nostalgia of summers past, starting when I was 11. Definitely revisiting those girls, the one inside of me, and the protagonist of this book. I tell people it’s my favourite book, if they sneer then I know they will never like me. Easy.
2. Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth…it’s the salmon mousse that keeps me coming back
3. My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh…everything makes so much more sense after this book, I've gone back to it a few times
4. Just Kids by Patti Smith..I want to be her but Iwill settle for these scenes from her life
5. Apocalypse The Memoir by C.S.Oliver.. full on zombie story but with layers I’m still peeling apart and examining the insides ofJ
6. The Ecco Anthology of Contemporary American Short Fiction ..this came from a free bin outside a library, I haven’t read all the stories yet but a favourite is A House on the Plains by E.L. Doctorow. Beware of this book, there is a lot in here that can affect a person for a long time. You’ve been warned.
7. Patchwork: A LIfe Amongst Clothes by Claire Wilcox…a loaner, haven’t started it but relevant to my interests
8. The Final Revival of Opal and New…bought this at Shoppers on a lonely winter afternoon, I’m only a few pages in
9. Eight Girls Taking Pictures by Whitney Otto
