Charming

Books finished:

Go Ask Alice by Alice X. but really it's some lady that writes Drugs Are Bad books.
It's written in diary format, about a teenage girl from a good American family doing drugs. Silly me actually believed at first it was based on a true story. It's not, it's fake. No wonder I fall for fuckboy's tricks, I'm so gullible.

Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong
It's a detective mystery book set in 1990s China. The national example of a working woman is murdered and they're investigating her case. I liked it because it gives a lot of information about what 90s China was like.

I go through too many books (I've been back into retro young adult horror/thriller type books from like the 90's xD which are all short lately) to make updating a full list feasible so here's my goodreads 2020 books read list which I automatically update since I use it to keep track of which Nightmare Hall and Point Horror books I've read so far!

I too am going to link my goodreads because I will never remember to update here as proven by last year. Here! I may come back and edit this post if I find a book that I feel everyone needs to know of. Maybe.

Goodreads. I only do finished or want to read as I don't have the patience/fucks to update the what I'm reading part.

MARCH RECOMMENDATION:
City of Girls.

• Female-heavy cast of characters.
  
• Set in 1940s New York during the build up to the US joining the war and then the war years themselves.
  
• Complex LGBT characters who run a theatre together and bicker about budgets.
  
• Dressmaking porn.
  
• The coldest burn I have ever read in any book ever.
  

I might make a discussion threads for this even if it's just me shouting into the void about how excellent it is.
