Currently reading Tom Clancy - Debt of Honour, although I'm struggling to keep motivated as the writing is so damn small with tiny line spacing!

The Reprieve by Sartre. It has an intense writing style which takes some getting used to; locations, characters, character speech shifts around erratically, sometimes even mid-sentence. I am really enjoying trying to wrap my head around what's going on, who's speaking and where I am at any given moment.

I can't hack books that do that, I just lose interest too easily! For some reason I found The Handmaids Tale jumped about a lot very quickly and I got bored of it!

I have to admit I've put it down a few times for so long that I've had to backtrack a number of times to remember what I was reading, but I do really like the style and am adamant to finish it this summer.

I haven't read The Handmaid's Tale, but am enjoying the show! I'll have to check it out at some point too.
