What did I read this month?

The reading slump during quarantine
hit me pretty hard. I thought I would use this time to read way more than
before, but I didn’t. I almost read anything at all until “Grown ups” for the
Zoella’s book club. It was not the sort of amazing book you could imagine
getting out of a reading slump, but it was good enough to put me back into
reading again. And actually, may was a good month in terms of great discovery.
Let’s talk about it.
Grown Ups
by M. Keyes and The Nightingale by K. Hannah
You can find my review here and here

Nine
perfect strangers by L. Moriarty
Liane Moriarty is a great author,
and with this book she proves how great her writing can be. Well, this book was
not my favourite, but I still enjoyed reading it a lot. The first half was
great. You can feel that something strange is going to happen. I thought it
would remind me of one of Agatha Christie’s novel, but it did not in the end.
That’s what was missing to me, a bit more mystery. The second half was just too
long and probably pointless. Yes, you get to know a bit more the different
characters, their background. But they are simply not interesting enough to
make that useful. It was just too long. The actions that took place were taken
ages and apparently, nobody saw the point of it. I thought it wasn’t getting
anywhere and something else could have happened instead, something way more
intriguing.
I actually hated all the characters.
Masha with her little pet, Yao, is ridiculous. Frances is the most annoying and
quite stupid, Ben and Jessica are embodied stereotypes and that made me angry.
The other, except the family, are just pointless. But still, I enjoyed the
book. I know it’s strange given the thoughts I shared by the whole book was
nice enough to read in just a few days. It’s quick, easy and light.
Men
without women by Haruki Murakami
I had this one waiting to be read
for months, and I finally took the time to do so. And it was a waste of time,
sadly. I enjoyed the fact that it was little stories but they were just boring.
That’s it, the book was boring. I know the author is quite famous, but I don’t
understand why through this book. Men without women is just a book about men,
about them understanding how self-centered they are even if they think their
love is stronger than anything. It’s just a book about men talking about
themselves.
I hope you managed to read everything you wanted in May. What's been your favorite?
