Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
Now It All Makes Sense by Alex Partridge
Dirty Laundry by Richard Pink and Roseanne Emery
The first four I can’t remember exactly where I heard about them, but I’m sure it was online and could have been blogs, videos, Instagram etc. But the last three I’m more sure I discovered thanks to social media sites, as I think I saw all of them on Facebook and/or Instagram. The first was a Reese’s Book Club pick and I think I saw it on her feed, the latter are by people I follow on these sites as they make content about ADHD.
That’s it for me this week! Do you guys find books to read thanks to social media? Do you include blogs in that? If not, what’s your favourite source for book recommendations?
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is a blog hop hosted every Wednesday by Long and Short Reviews. The weekly prompts range widely, including both book-related and non-book-related topics. The idea is to get bloggers to interact, share a bit about their lives and connect with other bloggers. Click here for the list of upcoming topics, and visit here to join in the fun!
THE SUNDAY REVIEW | THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES looks like a book I would read quickly. Alot of the books look really good.
It’s totally a quick read, mostly because it’s not difficult and the story moves fast so you don’t want to put it down! Thanks!
I was so excited to read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, I bought it as soon as it came out in paperback… and it’s been sitting on my TBR, untouched, ever since. As so many do.
And thank you for reminding me I wanted to read Dirty Laundry – I’ve just put a hold on it at my local library
Yeah that happens to me all the time! I think it’s partly the ‘ooooh shiny!” thing with new books, but also if it’s a book I know I’m going to like, part of me wants to save it for a time when I really need a book I know will be a hit! Like if life is getting tough or I’m in a reading slump. I always have a few I know I’ll love and just haven’t read yet on my shelves too!
I loved Everything Is Tuberculosis and Raising Hare!
Oh that’s great to hear! I’m a little nervous about the Tuberculosis book. I worked for a lung association for years and learned a lot about TB that’s very worrying. I’ve tried not to think too much about it, but it hangs out there in the back of my mind as a concern! It’s also a very important issue re: global inequalities in health care though, so definitely glad it’s getting attention. Raising Hare is on hold for me as I’m focusing on getting my BookTube reading done, but I’m looking forward to getting back to it. I started it and it seems like exactly the kind of book I’ll love, particularly at this time of the year!
I love the sound of The Encyclopedia of Fairies. We Were Never Here sounds good too. I’ll be updating my TBR. Thanks! 🙂🙂
I only got halfway through Encyclopedia before it was returned to the library, and I’ve switched to BookTube reading, but I think I will borrow it again when I’ve finished with that and give it another go. It was good and I was enjoying it, just got distracted! I enjoyed We Were Never Here as it was just a bit different. Not the best book ever, but an enjoyable quick read!
