The mirror and the light - Hilary Mantel 

this one kind of dragged. Could have been edited down heavily. Still a great book and great ending though



The secret history - Donna tartt

fun but was sick of it by the end



Alexanderplatz, Berlin - Alfred doblin

had watched the series but it was ages ago, couldn't remember much of it. Great book, Weimar Germany was such an interesting place and the book has a very unique sense of playfulness mixed with doom and foreboding



Acceptance - Jeff Vandermeer 

This sucked really bad. The more that is explains in this series the worse it gets. Idk if he capitulated to stupid sci-fi fans or if he's a hack that just got lucky with annihilation.

  
Five decades - Pablo naruda

I have yet to find translated poetry I like

  
The end of the game (blow up) - Julio cortazar 

Most of these were very fun and playful, there were a couple more standard boring ones that I didn't like as much 

  
Everything that rises must converge - Flannery O'Connor 

Love love love her, one of my new favourite short story writers. Normally I'm a bit put off by stories that always end in murder/suicide/drama (prefer Munro etc) but her writing is good enough to make up for it. So funny!! And I love her characters  


The conservationist - Nadine gordimer 

There was like \~50 pages of a really amazing story in here and 200 pages of tedious reminiscing about boring conversations with an ex girlfriend. Disappointing 



The body artist - don delillo

Very much liked this. Want to read more from him

  
Agnes grey - Anne Bronte 

Fine. Not as good as Wuthering Heights, it's more subdued but not enough to feel all that much different

  
Under milk wood - Dylan Thomas

Narration was good but didn't really do anything for me
