6. The Secret History by Donna Tartt
This is not the sort of book I would normally read – in fact I don’t think it’s the sort of thing ANYONE would normally read. It defies genres and expectations. It is unputdown-able; gripping, well written and terrifying. I devoured it over two nights.
7. Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee
Gorgeous post-apocalyptic scifi story about teenaged romance and realising your own power and strengths (and the sacrifices you’ll make for love), as well as interrogating just what exactly constitutes “a soul”. Despite Tanith’s obvious thin-is-beautiful bias, a lovely book that always takes me back to being an adolescent, in the throes of first love.
