Twitter pls can you recommend me a book that is almost identical to Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier? Basically I want to read that book for the first time again, but I know the twists already...

Currently really enjoying Nightbitch by @RachelYoder, about a woman who turns into a dog. It's like feminism meets Kafka's Metamorphosis https://t.co/iyNF8bgeij

Just finished Vladimir by Julia May Jonas. If you're in the mood for an exploration of female creativity and sexuality with a troubled and troubling female protagonist, try this book instead of going to see Tár. This is much better written 😂 https://t.co/LScEuOQ5Vn
