Your favourite weekend reads ✨

Now that Sunday is coming to an end… which book was your favourite this week? How was your weekend? Which books are you looking for to read next week? 🥰 I have finished Poets Square and it was AMAZING 🩷 It had been on my TBR for months and it I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. I also spent a lot of time reading today and it feels so good. But I feel like I have to move my body now so I’m trying to gather some strength to go to the gym 😭 Also I’m currently reading The Life Impossible by Matt Haig and I actually really like it 🥰 It feels great to read something I enjoy after having to DNF many books the past few weeks…

How low do you go?

What's the lowest average rating you would consider reading?

I give most books I read a 3 star rating, but I was searching for books the other day and realised that I didn't add books to my TBR if they had a rating of less than 3.5, so I'm wondering if I need to rethink my rating system.

Update: I'm so glad I asked this question, your responses have helped change the way I approach my reading choices. I've always known what I like, but I've found it hard to own my feelings for fear of judgment. I let the numerical value of books impact whether I am proud of liking them. Also, I've felt awkward about holding my hand up and stating that I didn't like a book if it's popular because I didn't want to rain on anyone's parade. Hearing everyone here being so confident about liking what they like, and accepting the subjectivity of books has really helped me challenge the black and white thinking holding me back from book joy. Thanks 😊

Open Wide

Jessica Gross

A provocative novel about intimacy, love, and consent, following an increasingly obsessive radio host who tests boundaries she didn’t know existed Olive is desperate to get close to Theo—really, really close. She’s always struggled to connect with people. And now she’s in her thirties, single, and so flustered by relationships that she secretly records her conversations, hoping to decipher social clues and find a way to be less alone. Then Theo turns up for a shift at the same food pantry where she volunteers. He’s a surgeon fascinated by human organs, a former soccer player, and possibly as weird as Olive. For the first time, someone seems to crave and understand her. Every recording Olive makes of Theo is a balm, which just makes her more afraid of losing him. The only solution seems to be to bind him to her forever. Luckily, the gap between Theo’s front teeth is just wide enough for something—or someone—to slip inside. Arresting and immersive, Open Wide explores the boundaries of love and the body, as universal human impulses bleed into the surreal.

Fever Dream

Samanta Schweblin

Experience the blazing, surreal sensation of a fever dream… A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He’s not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family. Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.

Oval

Elvia Wilk

In the near future, Berlin’s real estate is being flipped in the name of “sustainability,” only to make the city even more unaffordable; artists are employed by corporations as consultants; and the weather is acting strange. In search of affordable housing, young couple Anja and Louis move into a community on an artificial mountain, The Berg—yet another “eco-friendly” initiative run by a corporation called Finster. They’re offered a home rent-free in exchange for keeping quiet about the seriously malfunctioning infrastructure of the experimental house.But when Louis returns home from his mother’s funeral in America, Anja is convinced he has changed. He seems to be in denial of his grief and newly idealistic, consumed by a secret project at the NGO where he works as an artist-consultant. Anja is horrified when she discovers what Louis has invented: a pill called Oval that temporarily rewires the user’s brain to be more generous. Louis is convinced that if he can introduce the drug into the Berlin club scene, he can finally remedy the income disparity that has made Berlin so unlivable.Oval is a fascinating portrait of the unbalanced relationships that shape our world, as well as a prescient warning of what the future may hold.

This second book in the series was a bit weaker in plot and horror but still amazing. I loved the setting and was a fan of meeting these characters a little deeper. The writing was witty and dark and funny.

What Feasts at Night (Sworn Soldier, #2)

T. Kingfisher

The follow-up to T. Kingfisher’s bestselling gothic novella, What Moves the Dead . Retired soldier Alex Easton returns in a horrifying new adventure. After their terrifying ordeal at the Usher manor, Alex Easton feels as if they just survived another war. All they crave is rest, routine, and sunshine, but instead, as a favor to Angus and Miss Potter, they find themself heading to their family hunting lodge, deep in the cold, damp forests of their home country, Gallacia. In theory, one can find relaxation in even the coldest and dampest of Gallacian autumns, but when Easton arrives, they find the caretaker dead, the lodge in disarray, and the grounds troubled by a strange, uncanny silence. The villagers whisper that a breath-stealing monster from folklore has taken up residence in Easton’s home. Easton knows better than to put too much stock in local superstitions, but they can tell that something is not quite right in their home. . . or in their dreams.
