ETA 10-19-22: Not a very successful month for me so far. I decided not to read The Violence when I opened it up and the first page was an author's note warning of graphic emotional, physical and sexual abuse *and* animal death. I knew the type of story it was going in, but that warning (especially for the animal, not gonna lie) put me off. I did start The Magdalen Girls but it's so poorly written that I think it's going to be a DNF for me. Not even sure if I want to attempt The Two Lila Bennetts at this point!

Bonus: Please choose another book from the list above.
