Nicola Sturgeon Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Nicola Sturgeon

📚 Been a while since my last Saturday book recommendation, so here's two in one. Recently finished Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton (recommended to me by @valmcdermid) and it's excellent. Now reading A Spell of Good Things by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ and thoroughly enjoying it 📚 https://t.co/0vgZnovDrX

Long day of #COVID decisions, so now a bit of Sat night 📚 chat to clear my head. ‘Rodham’ by @csittenfeld was everything I hoped for - excellent. Now reading the new @valmcdermid (thanks to the Queen of Crime herself for early proof) - it’s predictably magnificent so far. https://t.co/1Aq16F4IRd

📚 I was able to read this by @louisewelsh00 over Christmas. It is outstanding. I was gripped and captivated from the first page - if you enjoyed The Cutting Room, you will love this. Highly recommended 📚 https://twitter.com/louisewelsh00/status/1483768076852154377

A wonderful, interesting and moving @AyeWrite @OUScotland event with @Doug_D_Stuart tonight. Great to hear him talk about Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo - in his first appearance home in Glasgow since winning the @TheBookerPrizes. Brilliantly chaired by @louisewelsh00

@DerekTurnbull It is very much my thing. I love Toni Morrison and Song of Solomon is probably my favourite of hers. Enjoy!

Enright at her lyrical, storytelling best. A portrait of a family living with the legacy, years after his death, of the abuse and neglect of their patriarch – a famous Irish poet... It’s a story of relationships, trauma, self-discovery and the healing powers of art and nature.

The effect is to make the reader feel that Hilary Mantel is with us still, communicating from beyond the grave – and that we may now be seeing something that has hitherto been hidden.

A couple of recommendations for #BookLoversDay. I’ve recently finished The Nickel Boys by @colsonwhitehead - a searingly powerful story about the impact of racism and abuse. And next, in memory of the great Toni Morrison, I’ll be rereading her wonderful classic The Bluest Eye. https://t.co/Ppt091YeAK
