If you’re anything like me, you probably read a lot of books and forget a lot about them as well after reading them (also see: being ADHD)

Is there one specific book whose plot, characters, setting you just can’t get out of your mind and still think about today even when in the midst of another book?

For me, it’s 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. I think due to the sheer volume of this book (clocked in over 1000 pages) I was so invested in Tengo and Aomame’s stories that it’s quite impossible to forget them quickly. This is also why I prefer long novels, because they stick around in my memory for longer!

So what book is still stuck with you?

    The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec. I just keep thinking about Angrboda and her children.

    “Angrboda’s story begins where most witches’ tales end: with a burning.”

      I have this book and it’s on my TBR list. I actually met her once, she came in to do a book club interview at my local bookstore - she’s amazing as a person! Very excited to read this, thank you for reminding me!

      I really liked this one! I read it last year and I still think about the way it was written fairly often
