Yes. IN A BOX. They are waiting there for better times (when I have more shelves).

Kate Atkinson is a strange one. I remember I read Behind the scenes at the museum when I was about 19-20 and I loved it. But then I read Case Histories recently and I just don’t know… it was kinda … kinda shit actually… And I don’t know whether ‘Behind the Scenes..’ was actually bad as well but I was too young to see, or whether it was just a better Atkinson. I am afraid to find out because I remember loving it so much.

Wow, that is a while ago! It’s always a bit weird to me when I reflect on my pre-blogging reading — blogs are useful for reminding me what my impressions were!

I shall, I shall! All the recommendations have swayed me! 😀

I’m definitely not writing her off just yet! Teresa from Shelf Love (and many others!) has recommended her too highly for me to toss her out because of one only-okay book. 😀

It does have a wondrous title!

Sweet! Go Nooks! (I might get one and if I do can we be Nook friends? I have NO IDEA what a Nook friend does but I WANT SOME.)

And I know I read Behind the Scenes at the Museum in high school in Texas, which puts it in 2000-2003 range).

I tried Tenderness of Wolves and gave up about 50 pages in because it just didn’t convince me. But I’ll have to give it another go thanks to Jodie!

Also, my closet only contains lowcut leather clothing. Gotta earn my cred.

Human Croquet and Emotionally Weird are also good. They are utterly different to Case Histories. Give her another try!
