    I recently read The Revenant and The Particular Sadness Of Lemon Cake. Both were op shop finds.

    The first is about a man left for dead after being attacked by a bear and his subsequent survival/quest for revenge. The second is about a girl who can taste emotions in food. Bit of a weird ending.

    I still have part of the Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy to finish as so much was going on for so long that I got too tired to read.

      The Revenant was made into a movie with Leo DiCaprio. Beautiful amazing movie.

      Haven’t read any those books at all but they all sound interesting.

      The past few days I’ve been watching/listening to various renditions of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

      I have come to the conclusion it’s Doyle’s version of a Gothic Novel.

      Also that the Basil Rathbone version of Holmes, the most beloved version, is a lot different to the novels and other versions. He is kind and gentle, and the classism and racism of the novels is mostly gone.
