This is my first attempt at the linky that is #6Degrees hosted by Kate over at Books Are My Favourite And Best. You can check out the rules here.
Before I start I must admit that I’ve not read the starting book this month, in fact I’d not heard of it before I decided to participate.
This month we begin with the book that saw Christos Tsiolkas soar to fame The Slap. I can’t really say anything about this book as I’ve not read it so we will swiftly move on.
The Slap is a book set in Australia, as is Big Little Lies by Liane Moriaty. I’m loathe to admit that this book as been on my TBR pile for a while now. I just don’t seem to be in the mood to read it over my other options.
Big Little Lies has been adapted for TV, as has Broadchurch by Erin Kelly. Again, I’ve not read any of the Broadchurch books as they never really held my interest.
Broadchurch author, Erin Kelly worked as a journalist, as did the author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Truman Capote. I attempted to read this book as a teenager and never got to the end. I’m determined to finish it one day.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of many literary classics, also made into a movie. One of my all time favourite books it To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which also fulfils this criteria. I absolutely love this book. I read it for my GSCE English Literature exam and something about it has stuck with me ever since.
Jodi Picoult’s Small Great Things has been heralded as the To Kill a Mockingbird of the 21st century. It deals with prejudice and power along with big themes such as the death of a baby. Another book on my TBR pile and it will be staying on my shelves whether I love it or not as the cover is gorgeous. I must mention that I’m not a bad reader, I’m going through a Kindle phase at the minute and a lot of my choices are tree books
