Novelist Kate Atkinson: ‘I do feel a need to prove myself’ https://www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/aug/10/novelist-kate-atkinson-i-do-feel-a-need-to-prove-myself?CMP=bookmarks_email

@bookstodon Normal Rules Don't Apply, by #KateAtkinson, is such a satisfying read. I casually picked it up last evening and devoured the whole thing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My #BookReview:

This is an exceptional interconnected story collection. I picked it up because, Kate Atkinson, obvs. But the writing surprised me, and exceeded my already lofty expectations. It's wry, funny, twisty, dark, and very smartly written. Atkinson collides the world of folklore into the world of reality. You think you know how the stories are connected, but that's just on the surface. There's a deeper thread running through them, and it's deviously clever.

The characters all experience life as a game of chance, a "choose your own adventure" based on every decision they make, or fail to make. The effects are not just individual, but rather they snowball into cosmic consequences for everyone.

This is a treat. Highly recommend. #books #BooksWorthReading #IAmReading #bookstodon

Trying to come up with a “favourite authors” list, as I’ve seen a few other people do. It’s tricky, because it changes all the time. But here’s a list of authors from whom any new release would be considered as a “must buy”.
