I’ve started this one now.
Already I’m hooked and I think I’m going to love it!

So far, it feels like it has more depth than Remarkably Bright Creatures (which I did think was lovely). It’s a good one so far.
What you reading Lou?

Yes I know what you’re saying. I liked remarkably bright creatures, although there was an element of having to suspend belief (for me). Enjoyable, but I didn’t really take anything away from it, if that makes sense?
I’m still reading All The Light We Cannot See as The Hate U Give arrived from the library and that one was time constrained so it got promoted up the reading list 
. I really enjoyed it. I enjoy YA books in general actually.
I’ve also just listened to Dave Grohl’s book on Spotify. I’m huge Foos fan and love Dave - such a humble, nice guy. I genuinely wish he was my mate
So back to All The Light now X

Yes yes yes. Same. It was beautiful and lovely, but too light. The trauma packed into it was almost swept over. I think it relied on some metaphor and allegory with the octopus and captivity and life, but I needed the meat and bones a bit more. It swept over a lot to remain light-hearted.
Enjoy All the Light. I just got his other book Cuckoo… Something. Really enjoyed his writing and imagery. I keep meaning to watch The Hate You give on iPlayer as well.

You’ve hit the nail on the head for me. It covered some incredibly emotional themes, but I just didn’t feel it 
I’m enjoying All The Light so far. It’s one of those books where I find myself lost in the imagery 
I’ll be sure to check out his other book too

I’m reading The Teacher by Freida McFadden, good so far. Also The Fraud by Zadie Smith. Enjoying both immensely.

For the German speaking:
It’s about codependency in an alcoholic relationship.
What I found interesting is that both sides, the drinking person and the not-drinking spouse are described.
For me it was hard stuff but absolutely worth reading.

Is it fiction or non fiction? Is it more like a documentary style or a novel?
I should read more German books, I feel I’m losing the language.
