From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday.
The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review (or if you don't receive review books, any book that you own and really want to read/review) but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity.
I know that a lot of you have a huge pile of books that you want to read/review, but it understandably takes a while to get around to reading them all - here you can give a book (or two!) some of the publicity that it deserves, even if you haven't read it yet!

This week, I'm going to showcase Normal People!
I have been reading quite a lot of 'heavy' books recently, mostly non-fiction, and so have decided to purposely choose a fiction book this week. I have heard fantastic things about the TV adaptation of Normal People and noticed that the book has won a lot of awards, so I'm eager to both read and watch Normal People at some point. Quite honestly, it's one of those books where I'm not entirely sure what to expect from the blurb, but from what I've heard, it must be good, right? Have you read or watched Normal People? What did you think?
Normal People by Sally Rooney
Paperback, 273 pages
Published 2nd May 2019 by Faber and Faber
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years.
This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege. Alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness, Sally Rooney's second novel breathes fiction with new life.

My issue is that I have too big a pile, all books I really want to read! Buying them is easy, getting motivated to get on with the reading is the current problem!
ReplyDeleteit's not even about being motivated for me, i just don't have enough time. i have tried hard not to add to my tbr because i know i can't read them all and enjoy seeing the list go down, but then....this does sound good and i believe one person can make a difference in another's life, even if it's only for a moment
