Just finished reading Emma Forrest's latest book. I have fallen in love with her totally. When I first read Namedropper a few weeks back I felt as if I should have written. I never once thought I *could have* written it, but I would have. It's perfect. I cry when she does. I cry when she won't. And I laugh and I smile.
Same goes with Cherries.
I'm drowned by irish authors - their books are like drugs. They're never as good as the first one, but I keep read them and they keep writing them. Then Emma Forrest comes about. I picked up Namedropper in a cheap bookstore in San Francisco - I took it after reading on the back of the cover. I sometimes do that. I also bought a book on making bread in a breadmachine. I bought I breadmachine when I came back to Sweden, probably only because of that book.
Namedropper ended up on the shelf for a few months, until my holiday started. But as soon as I started reading it I couldn't let it go. I wish it'd never end. Before I finished it I ordered Cherries and it arrived a few days ago (had time to finish Harry Potter in between) and now I've finished it too.
Still have one to go... I've ordered it as well but it won't arrive until next week probably. I know I should give it a rest, don't take it all at once. Save something for the long and cold winter.
But how could I?
It's THERE, it will want me to read it!!
It's my OBLIGATION to read it, honestly...
