I have had a terrible reading slump this year, I couldn’t even re-read old favorites:( Going on a holiday soon so hopefully I can jumpstart the year with reads. I enjoyed Possession and love Manju Kapur so will be checking out the works you mentioned!
I loved Good Material so much too, I read it with a friend and we found it such an easy and clever read. Favourite book from this year was Lily King's Writers and Lovers. I also spent the whole of April reading the ACOTAR series lol, it was INTENSE and took me back to my Twilight/high school days. Super enjoyable.
I think this is the year I will finally get around to writers and lovers thanks to your comment! Has been languishing on my ebook TBR pile for CENTURIES now
I have added so many books to my TBR. But God knows when (or if) I will get to them. Did you try reading Cleopatra and Frankenstein? I really enjoyed it and I found Blue sisters to be average. CaF was thrilling for me. But it did have the flaw that by the end of the book I felt the characters could be interchanged; their behavior was so similar, which might irk some readers. I've bookmarked the Deborah Levy piece to read later (hopefullly I would). I love her non fiction.

Haha brilliant! I'm reading her short story collection now (Five Tuesdays), which is also lovely.

Sadly, I read Blue Sisters first which means I’ll be giving Mellors a wide berth. :/
Who is the artist who painted/drew the woman reading in the armchair?
David Joseph Bles! a relatively unknown Dutch painter from the 19th century.
Thanks!
