Liv | 21 comments Hey all!

I can't decide what I'm in the mood for!

Of the below three, would you recommend; Brother by Ania Ahlborn , Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel or Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

No spoilers please and thank you in advance :D! Check out my instagram for my previous reviews!

Interesting.. I'm inpatient and have started the audiobook of Dark Matter whilst I work - what did you think of it?
Brother is next on the list though!

I liked parts of it. It was a very interesting premise but there was a point in the book where it began to feel a bit samey and predictable to some extent. I Hope you enjoy it Liv.

I read it yesterday! I really enjoyed it in the end! I'm looking forward to see how Apple TV handles the series!

Hey Liv! I moved this thread to the folder "Book Corner Comfort Zone". Anything to do with books in general needs to be in this folder. :)

On your book reading - Ania Ahlborn is great - I haven't read that book though but have read a couple of others by her. Dark Matter I need to read yet but I do really like Blake Crouch. So I guess you will be reading Ahlborn next. :)

I really enjoyed Dark Matter in the end! Currently reading The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay as I want to go and see the film at the weekend ahah! I think it'll be a 1 day read and then onto Ahlborn next!

I didn't realize Apple TV was adapting the book! Hopefully it's good.

They announced it in March last year but I don't think there have been many updates since - I want to say 8 episodes? should be enough to cover the book well hopefully!
