@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

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

@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?

@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!😀

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

George Orwell
Catherine McCarthy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Catherine McCarthy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@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
