Choice 1: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Fantasy) Choice 2: Confessions by Minato Kanae(Thriller) Choice 3: Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America by Lillian Faderman (Female Author)
Did you manage to read your books? Which ones?
Confessions by Minato Kanae!
If you read more than one, did you enjoy them? What was your favorite? I only read one, but I enjoyed it a lot. I read it in one sitting when I was supposed to be reading for bookclub instead, and couldn't stop thinking through it afterwards...
Would you recommend your chosen book(s)? Yes, with caveats. Elegantly, cruelly written novel with a great use of multiple POVs and so many twists. I would want to give one massive content note for a major plot point, though.
Did you read anything else this month, outside of your chosen books? Yes! The only other translated Minato Kanae book, which was also excellent.
