When Women Were Dragons
Kelly Barnhill
14. When Women Were Dragons, by Kelly Barnhill. I can't believe I hadn't read this before, given how much I love Nightbitch. Loved it, although it broke my heart a bunch of times. On rage, and silence, and the importance of a good librarian. https://t.co/Zykx3fk8Y7

Tell Me I'm Worthless
Alison Rumfitt
Tell Me I'm Worthless, by Alison Rumfitt. Possibly the most viscerally distressing book I've ever read. A stunner of a haunted house story about how facism devours everyone in its path and spits out their bones. https://t.co/eFCoAK8zrb

The Doll Factory
Elizabeth MacNeal
The Doll Factory, by Elizabeth Macneal. A sweeping Victorian thriller about a young woman who longs to be free and make art, and a deeply shady man who longs to capture her attention. Again, not scary, but I don't think I took a breath for the full final third.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation
Ottessa Moshfegh
2. My Year of Rest and Relaxation, by Ottessa Moshfegh. What a strange little book! I liked it a lot! I've seen it compared with Boy Parts a lot but it actually feels like the opposite side of the Boy Parts coin: someone who feels way too much, who wants to get better. https://t.co/8QPGWlyOf5

Flavour: Eat What You Love
Ruby Tandoh
@UpAndGeorgia Flavour by Ruby Tandoh is forever glorious, the Ottolenghi books are excellent, the Zuni cafe cookbook is one that I literally sit down and read sometimes, I've asked for the Little Library Party for Xmas and I've bought Butter by Olivia Potts for someone!

The Book of the Most Precious Substance
Sara Gran
9. The Book of the Most Precious Substance, by Sarah Gran. Oh, this one was FUN. A rare book seller is tasked with finding a sexy occult murder book and is drawn into sexy occult murder shenanigans. https://t.co/gDeKxCGAqy

Exquisite
Sarah Stovell
Exquisite, by Sarah Stovell. A young writer enters an obsessive relationship with her older mentor. Unreliable narrators agogo. Thrilling, not scary at all, bags of fun.

Notes on an Execution
Danya Kukafka
Turns out Notes on an Execution is a really good book to read if you want to begin your day by sobbing at 8am.

Righteous
Joe Ide
34. Righteous, by Joe Ide. I loved the first book in Joe Ide's IQ series and I loved this one just as much. Maybe tried to stuff in one too many storylines but a wisecracking rollicking good time nonetheless. https://t.co/qRxA8mGWyE

Rebecca
Daphne du Maurier
22. Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier. Yes, again. It's that good. I am Mrs de Winter now. https://t.co/wh7baYJMnk
