Today’s topic is Authors I\u2019d Love a New Book From. Because I’m behind on reading books by authors I love as it is, I decided to tell you a bit about 10 books I’ve read recently i.e. this year: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop is a memoir about books and reading, but also tells a bit about how books and libraries came to be. Definitely a good read for every book lover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Devil in the White City is a fascinating non-fiction about a serial killer and The World’s Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1983. I only wished for a firmer connection between the related events, feels loosely held together. I’ve since got all of Larson’s remaining books as ebooks and I’m looking further to reading more from this author. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can describe Middlemarch in one word: BORING!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartburn is a story about a marriage that falls apart just as the wife is about to give birth to a second child. Heartbreaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Beauty is a story about a horse and it was both sad and beautiful. Did I mention it’s narrated by said horse? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book Ninja is a quick romance read set in a bookshop and around Melbourne’s train station. It’s also full of bookish references and recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops is exactly what the title says it is, written in Bythell’s recognizably satirical\/humorous style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jade Setter of Janloon is a fantastic story to dip one’s toes back into Fonda Lee’s Green Bone Saga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookends was more about the author acting out rather than the books and literature the cover and title would make you believe. I didn’t care about it one bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny Story is one I believe you’ve all already heard of so I’ll spare you the summary and tell you I liked it, but it’s not my favorite Emily Henry book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
