 just finished Skint Estate by Cash Carraway. It was interesting but I don't really like her writing style.

How do they look at it? Is it a scientific based non-fiction book that looks into the female body being the epicentre of human evolution? "Pretty much, yes. It (among other things) "explains the specific science behind the development of the female sex", and is non fiction, well researched with appropriate citations to scientific literature throughout. | |||

"I’m doing the alphabet challenge (reading a book starting with every letter) to bring down my ever-growing TBR I’m currently on the letter E, so I’m reading Emma by Jane Austen! I love Austen and I’ve been wanting to read this one for a while, so I’m eager to keep reading. I’ve just finished Death in her hands by Ottessa Moshfegh which I rated 2 stars. I really don’t get on with Moshfegh but decided to give her another chance as everyone in the book community seems to love her and yet the book just gave nothing. Terrible ! Before that I read call me by your name and it has emotionally destroyed me and I fear I’ll never be the same again." Jane Austen is always one of the good classic novelists. I have a series of novels by Sue Grafton that are an alphabet sequence, but I guess that would be cheating for this challenge

"I just finished the classic, hitch hikers guide to the galaxy!! " Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with. It’s always a fan favourite. | |||

I’ve recently started reading physical books again, there’s something satisfying about the feel of a newly printed book, instead of digital copies. But some of my graphic novels are signed by the authors and I won’t risk damaging them. | |||

"I’ve not long finished a short, yet quite disturbing one. Tender is the Flesh. Cannibalism normalised, is about the only way to sum it up." I read this, and I’m a weird book lover, and I LOVE extreme horror, but everyone on booktok was acting like this was some crazy book you only read once and can’t stop thinking about, but I read it, and yeah it’s weird, but it’s not like…super strange. I mean, maybe I’ve read too many damn gore books and need to re-sensitise myself, but it was just lacking something for me. I did enjoy reading it tho | |||

"I've just finished The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, which was brilliant. Wonderfully written and perfectly paced. If you like Gothic mystery and suspense I highly recommend it. Apparently there's a film adaptation." That sounds good. Yes I think it was released about 10 years ago; Olivia Coleman and Sophie Turner were in it. | |||

Are they light hearted and easy to read, or take a little more focus to get through? " The Emily Henry is a light hearted romance so it's hugely easy to read. The Coco Mellors is a family drama with different POVs so I need to concentrate on it a little more. I'm enjoying both though! | |||
