New books, different reading tastes and a world of adventures await. This week Ms Emma J shares her reading interests.
- What do you read? Almost anything, but I generally avoid everything in the crime genre. Don’t like violence.
- Are you enjoying your reading? I love reading. Definitely a hobby of mine. Always have a book on the go.
- Do you recommend what you’re reading? I recommend Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. It is about loneliness and random acts of kindness. I loved the story because the main character, Eleanor Oliphant, is such a different kind of person – very quirky and original. You love her immediately and fear for her, because she is so isolated and vulnerable, but thankfully the kindness of others sees her through. Heart-warming!
