I've been on maternity leave since November and I haven't really read much, despite really looking forward to the time off as I am usually such a bookworm!
I bought the Booker shortlist to read and have read a couple, but didn't really enjoy any. I tried Hilary Mantel, but didn't get through it.
Part of me wonders if its the baby brain syndrome stopping me, or whether I have just not got a good couple if books to hook me back in?
Anyone recommend anything good?
I love Atwood, Kingsolver, Orwell. I have enjoyed Julian Barnes, but not all of them. I loved the American Wife by CurtisSittingfeld, I enjoyed The Seamstress, Snowflower and the Secret Fan, The Life of Pi, Birdsong. I enjoy Isabelle Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
