Well, its only that time again. It definitely seems to have come round quite quickly this time!
Don't worry you still have a month to read the current book, I'm just giving you all warning about the next read:
Asking For It - Louise O'Neill
In a small town where everyone knows everyone, Emma O'Donovan is different. She is the special one - beautiful, popular, powerful. And she works hard to keep it that way.
Until that night . . .
Now, she's an embarrassment. Now, she's just a slut. Now, she is nothing.
And those pictures - those pictures that everyone has seen - mean she can never forget.

Admittedly not one that I'm likely to have picked up on my own but I will give it a go. If it gets too graphic I might have to drop out, but let's see.

I've read this one, it certainly is a hard hitting book.

Not sure about this one. It doesn't fit my summer challenge so maybe I'll read it in September, but probably not before.

By coincidence I'm waiting for this book from BookMooch. Not planning to read it any time soon but it'll be interesting to see all your comments.

Meant to add, when I get the book (should be sometime this week), as it'll be a while 'til I get round to reading it, if a RiSi member wants to borrow it for this quarterly read, I'm willing to post it to you so long as you promise to send it back after.

I have reserved this from the library but someone has reserved it before me so maybe a little while before I get it.

I bought this a year or more ago so I’ll now try and use this as encouragement to get around to reading it hopefully!

natsplatt , yes it seems you were the first, I shall ask janetandjohn to move your comments to the newly opened discussion thread (I seem to be a bit behind this quarter, sorry about that.) I shall be reading shortly I've moved Nat's post to the discussion thread. Of course, because she posted it before your introduction it appears before your post in that thread, Ellie, but at least it's in the right place now. |
