For me, currently, it is Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors. There is a lot of hate about this book. I don’t know why, the book for me is awesome. First few pages and I’m already hooked. Some chapters got me guessing on the relevance of it in the story but it all made sense at the end. Though it’s a debut novel by Mellors and some writing needs to be improved. Looking forward for her future books.

    I actually get to do that.

    I have a TBI, and I found that if I leave a book alone for long enough (7-8 years), when I re-read it, I have forgotten it to the point where things don’t even “feel familliar” when I am reading them. This has led to me developing a system of coloured dot stickers on the spines to let me know when the last re-read was and if it’s safe to pull them off the shelf again.

    On my list of re-reads.
    All Terry Pratchett books, Lord of the Rings, Anne McCaffrey’s PERN novels, The count of Monte Cristo, Just about all of Elizabeth Moon’s books, Thomas King’s ‘Indians on Vacation’,

      I’ve TBI too, and the same experience with books. How does the dot system work, it sounds good?
