Who was your buddy this month? royalblue31
What books were chosen for you? A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah, Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong
Did you manage to read your books? Which ones? I read A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
If you read more than one, did you enjoy them? What was your favorite? I enjoyed both the books I read, for different reasons. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was an excellent thriller, and I will not say anything else to avoid spoilers. Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood was sometimes a bit overwhelming, yet hopeful book despite its setting during the apartheid.
Would you recommend your chosen book(s)? Yes to both
Did you read anything else this month, outside of your chosen books? I read Sunneva by Kaari Utrio
