Just finished 'Are We All Lemmings and Snowflakes?' in a matter of days. It was very triggering as the main character is bipolar, I'm not sure I could have handled reading that a few years back when I was really struggling with my mental health.

Anyway, J's mum gave me a few books yesterday that she didn't want anymore! So I'm getting stuck into those now. By the looks of it they're all thrillers.

Never heard of that one, JG, sounds interesting! I love books like that. Makes me feel like someone else understands when a good author can bring that stuff to life.

It was definitely super realistic. I recognised thought patterns and emotions directly from my own past. Apparently the same author has done a few on that kind of theme.

Just finished Cards on the Table. Agatha Christie turned the tables on me like, three times. And there were only 4 suspects. I'm working through Follow Me Down now. It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, but I can't say that the characters aren't behaviour ing unrealistically. Gonna work My name is Parvana next.

He drives a rundown milk truck

I just rearranged my 'to read' pile into a more pleasing reading order.

time well spent, obviously

that would never work for me, from a practical point of view

speaking of which, two more months without reading, and same old "rearranging" aka copy-pasting the old list instead of new plans for May and June. I have removed two books, though, and added one. 'The Bear and the Nightingale' leaves the list because it's become more of a dnf than a let's-give-it-another-chance, and 'The Thackery T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities' because it doesn't sound like something for me right now. instead there's 'Sea of Rust' by C. Robert Cargill, let's see if I actually read it or if its fate will the be that of the other books on the list XD also removed one of the books from the preliminary list for summer. I read a few pages from it and I'm not sure I'll come back soon
