I had a pretty rubbish month for books in May. Mainly because we took out the Blockbuster free 2 week trial, so were watching a DVD every night and I was too tired to read much when I went to bed! Anyway, here are May’s reads:
The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
Source – recommended on Twitter. This was a book that had great reviews but I just didn’t think it was that great. It was an old fashioned sort of cowboy tale, set during the Gold Rush in California. Not awful, but not fab either…
2.5/5
My Best Friend’s Girl by Dorothy Koomson
Source – lent by Kim. Loved it right from the start! Thought it was going to be a predictable (if enjoyable) story but it surprised me! Am really enjoying this author! 4/5
Generation X by Douglas Coupland
Source – recommended by The Pampered Sparrow. Eek.. I really could not get into this book. AT all. Read about 50 pages then gave up and took it back to the library. So disappointed..
Anyone else read it? Is it just me? 1/5
Faithful Place by Tana French
Source – lent by Sarah. This is the 3rd book I have read from Tana French and it centres around one of the characters from the previous books. Not as good as the 1st 2 books, but still enjoyable. 3/5
Book of the month = My Best Friend’s Girl
Book of the year so far = The Hunger Games!
A pretty disappointing booky month overall. What have you read recently that you think I might enjoy?!

Yay glad you liked the Dorothy Koomson one! I bought Generation X about 10 years ago to read when I was trying to be cool and edgy (to impress a guy!!!), but I hated it!!
Got a few here for you to read

Generation X – @cakebikecake’s favourite book of all time – seminal work. It goes to show, it takes all sorts! x
