There’s a lot more to me than nutrition science, and I want to share more of it here…
I completed my dissertation last year and for a long time my reading list looked pretty much like this: nutrition science, research papers, marketing strategy, self-development. All things I genuinely love, but somewhere along the way fiction just fell off my radar.
So I picked it back up. And I’d genuinely forgotten how good it feels. Mainly before bed, instead of scrolling.
Here’s what I’ve read since then:
Colony, Annika Norlin: a burnt-out woman stumbles upon a commune of misfits living by their own rules. So bizarre, so sharp, completely addictive. 10/10
The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller: you know Greek mythology, you know where it’s going, and it still absolutely breaks you. I wasn’t prepared. 11/10
Martyr!, Kaveh Akbar: I don’t even have the words for this one. It just got under my skin completely. 10/10
Weyward, Emilia Hart: three women across different centuries, captivating and easy to read, slightly predictable but I enjoyed every page. 8/10
All Fours, Miranda July: I understood the main character but never connected with her, and for me that’s everything in a novel. 6/10
If you’ve read any of these I’d love to know what you thought, and recommendations are very welcome in the comments please.
