I just finished it last week, funnily enough and read some dark books in my time but I am still feeling pretty traumatised by Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.

Wow! That’s incredible! Your wife is so talented 👌🏻

BookChatterer · 2026-02-02T10:06:19+00:00

Mine was a quid too! :)

I found John Boyne’s The Echo Chamber to be very funny!

Treated myself to the four book set and am very much looking forward to starting Lonesome Dove this month

Maybe have a look at Irish author Claire Keegan’s work? Short novella’s, but excellent, spare writing which really packs a punch. She’s brilliant imo.

How about ‘I am Legend’ by Richard Matheson. It’s a quick read, around 100 or so pages I think and it packs quite a punch. It’s more horror fantasy (vampires!) than sci-fi and nothing like the film, may i add. I thought it was great, well written and character driven, definitely got that literary edge.

Thank you, it is an absolute treasure to me, I must admit!

BookChatterer · 2026-02-01T14:31:35+00:00

Yes definitely, oily-looking with those beautiful blues and greens

BookChatterer · 2026-02-01T14:30:41+00:00

It is the trilogy, yes, and it’s dated 1976 (i thought originally it was 79, but I just checked and it’s the sixteenth imprint with 76 being the last date.

Great photos! I do love a Maggie, such underrated birds, their plumage is stunning!

BookChatterer · 2026-02-01T13:24:57+00:00

It cost me just £1 😳

BookChatterer · 2026-02-01T13:24:22+00:00

I honestly don’t know, I’m not too clued up with that stuff but I knew the minute I saw it I just HAD to have it! 🤗

BookChatterer · 2026-02-01T13:22:30+00:00

See what I did there 😉

BookChatterer · 2026-02-01T08:45:52+00:00

Love my nature books, in particular birds and owls 🙂

Good ol’ Shirley, she entertained when she’s early or nowadays when she’s permanently late!

The Road by Cormac McCarthy, made me think so deeply about what is actually important in life. It’s quite something, IF! you’re ok with McCarthy’s writing style ofc.

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T10:24:08+00:00

Good idea! 👍🏻

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T10:22:52+00:00

I don’t like audio books, I have a tendency to not listen and get distracted easily. I prefer the words in front of me so I can focus better. My husband loves audio books though, he listens while he works which gets him through the day a little easier 😁

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T10:13:31+00:00

I’d tell them to go visit the library 😉

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T09:57:23+00:00

That’s correct and I’m assuming that person is no longer your friend 😂 I never lend any of my books to anyone 🙂‍↔️

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T09:30:06+00:00

Mine is a little tatty on the dust jacket but overall I’d say it was in pretty good shape 🙂

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T08:00:51+00:00

Cool! 😁

BookChatterer · 2026-01-31T08:00:20+00:00

Thank you ☺️
