Only three books last week; 16th to 23rd March. One I'd read before, but as an audiobook this time, for a bit of a change, one I've had on my kobo for a solid three years before finally getting around to it and a library book which I read for a bookclub.
Carol was the library book for the bookclub; originally published as The Price of Salt it was one of the first LGBT novels in which the hero/ines were not murdered, forced to commit suicide or sent back to their straight partners having learned a lesson. I didn't enjoy it much because I didn't like the viewpoint character; I had no interest in what she was doing or what she thought of anything, which was a slight barrier to caring about the story. It was a very nice meeting though.
Chimerascope is a book of short-stories, many of them award-winning or at least nominated. The first one is strongly sci-fi and took me a while to get into, which is possibly why it took me over three years to read it.
Room is the one I've read before. Twice as a paperback, and this time as an audiobook. It's got one reader for Jack's voice and a few others voicing the adults. I also watched the movie a few months ago; Jacob Tremblay is amazing in the role. I'm sad they wrote the uncle out though; I liked his role in the story.
