I make sure to recommend books for them to purchase regularly too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I received some books on my birthday so this month I have actually read some analogue novels too, but it&#8217;s hard to beat the convenience of digital. That being said, I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s done my eyesight any favours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of crime\/suspense\/thriller\/mystery stuff this month, including some by my all time faves: Tana French &amp; Stuart MacBride (yep, I like my murder mysteries to be really messed up). I&#8217;ve also been smashing out a lot of Anne Bishop fantasy, but I&#8217;m still undecided on whether I like her or not&#8230; The more I read her works, the more I see disturbing gender-essentialist &#8220;woman in jeopardy&#8221; themes coming through and it&#8217;s just not my cup of tea.
