The Dollmaker
Nina Allan
@nosetouchpress 4. The Dollmaker, by Nina Allan. This was my top read of 2020. Such a unique premise, and I loved the epistolary sections, the prose, everything about it. Such a clever read. https://t.co/I1pA83Mii8 https://t.co/za9mfGftSz

Rebecca
Daphne du Maurier
Okay, Daphne du Maurier, who gave you permission to crawl inside my 'tendency to catastrophize' headspace?😅 #Rebecca https://t.co/6xjyHl7k7q

Lord of the Flies
William Golding
One reason not to worry about low reviews: I just read a 1 star review of the classic Lord of the Flies by William Golding that read... "That Piggy ought to stick that conch up someone's ass."😅 https://t.co/8X1rD2n4fd

Little Eve
Catriona Ward
@AgathaAWrites @HorrorWriters Ooh, that's tough! I guess we all have our own definition, but I'd say Wakenhyrst (Michelle Paver), The Silent Companions (Laura Purcell) and Catriona Ward's Little Eve would be up there. You?

Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery
Brom
@SadieHartmann I know you've read Brom's Slewfoot. Did you get it in hardback, and if so, is it illustrated? I'm not sure whether to buy the hardback or wait until the paperback comes out in June. Thanks!😀

Piranesi
Susanna Clarke
1. Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke It's been almost a year since I read it, but I can still picture the labyrinth of rooms, the statues, Piranesi himself. Outstanding! https://t.co/HPKbTFD1yT

1984: 75th Anniversary
George Orwell
@TTMusicChallen1 I guess this one is cheating slightly, but it's a dystopian classic, and in some ways could be seen as an alternate history. 1984, by George Orwell. https://t.co/XZzMI6Aj2I
