    you are really good at selling books... lol. I felt the same way about the push. I was OBSESSED with the way it was woven, and written. Its a phenomenal book.

I have no idea what my tolerance levels are yet.. defo not one for animal cruelty really struggle. Thanks for your content love it ❤❤

    Great to hear you talk about so many books that you enjoyed so much - I know you've had plenty of the other kind! What also struck me is that this is a rather varied selection. I definitely think it helps to read more broadly in term of genres as it allows us to experience different thoughts, emotions etc. Besides, it would also just get tedious if we always read the same kind of thing. As I've mentioned, I'm trying to stop buying so many books [good luck with that, right, lol 🙂] so if I had to choose just a couple of these that I'm going to have to read, I think it'll be They Never Learn and The Weight of Blood. And, agreed about We Spread and Tender is the Flesh: two of my definite favourites of the year too. Such intriguing and thought-provoking books. I also agree with what you said about most of the other books I've also read too!

    • @ReadingWithMeg

    Ira Levin is kinda underrated. Three of the best horror ideas of all-time: Rosemary's Baby, Boys From Brazil, and Stepford Wives. I might have to dive into some of his lesser known books.

    Thank you for adding Rosemary's Baby. I read that book when it came out. (yes, I'm old) The original movie with Mia Farrow is outstanding!! I've watched it many time.
    If you can find a copy of Stepford Wives also by Ira Levin 1972 read it! Also. find the ORGINAL movie. You won't be disappointed!

    Jon Athan isn't dead Meg. I think you are tjinking of British author Jonathan Raban, who died at age 80 in January 2023. I don't think anyone knows the surname of Jon Athan who just uses his first name (Jonathan). Great list btw ... I have read most of these and loved them too.
