Some thoughts on books I read on holiday 

2/9/2013

I’m just back from a week at the BF’s parents’ in the south of France. It was basically a fly and flop holiday. I made the most of the time to read an awful lot, eat an inordinate amount of cheese and goose rilette, and of course do some baking.

During the holiday, I realised that I haven’t read that much MM fiction, so I used the time to begin to rectify this, more about why this is in another post...I also read something in my usual genre, and thought I’d take my own advice, and read something else completely different and outside my usual genre.

I plan to post my thoughts on what I read over the coming weeks. I’m not calling them reviews, as I won’t give them ratings; I am taking the Elisa Rolle approach, and just including my thoughts on what I liked. Hopefully it’ll inspire you to read something you’d not considered before. Here’s the list of what I’ve recently read.
  • The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
  • How Much For the Whole Night? By RJ Scott
  • Pole Star by Jo Myles
  • An Absolute Scandal by Penny Vincenzi
  • Bear Naked by JL Merrow
  • Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
  • First Impressions by Jo Myles

We also had a day trip to Toulouse, which included a visit to an art gallery of a photographer, Arthur Tress, which included quoting from his website: ‘work dealing with the hidden dramas of adult relationships and the re-enactments of male homosexual desire...’

Have you read any of these books? What did you think? Have you had your summer holiday yet? I’d love to hear from you.

Until next time

I've read the two Jo Myles titles. She's an autobuy for me because her work is so good humoured. They are real 'feel good' books. It's a while since I read Pole Star but I remember giggling about the scratchy sequined thong and in First Impressions, which I have read more recently, I loved the jazzy socks at odds with the sober suits and just how grumpy Jez was. I haven't heard of Bear Naked - going to find that now :)

Hi Elin, I always like a nice dollop of good humour in my writing/reading, so that's good to know. I also love 'feel good' books as well - a good balance between those which make me cry! First Impressions was great too - review here to follow.
Liam :)
