The List
The List | Joanna Bolouri
6 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Longlisted for The Guardian's "Not the Booker" prize, The List is the hilarious debut novel from Scottish comedienne Joanna Bolouri. Phoebe Henderson may be single but she sure doesn't feel fabulous. It's been a year since she found her boyfriend Alex in bed with another woman, and wine-fueled nights of relationship analysis with her best friend Lucy have done nothing to improve her dating situation. Faced with another year without love, Phoebe confronts her fears and decides to forgo romantic love altogether. She comes up with The List: ten things she's always wanted to do in bed but has never had the courage to try. One year of pleasure, no strings attached. Simple, right? In a chaotic, embarrassing, exhilarating, and ultimately transformational year of self-discovery, Phoebe finds surprises, friendship, confidence, and even love, through good and bad sex.

Reviewsbylola Unbelievable that we rarely see The Heart‘s Invisible Furies. 😭 7y
Cinfhen I know @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola it wasn‘t mentioned again!!! 7y
Cinfhen Has anyone heard of 7y
suvata @Cinfhen The Answers does sound pretty intriguing. Never heard of it till just now. I think I shall add it to my TBR. 7y
Cinfhen I just added it @suvata the cover looks vaguely familiar but it definitely was not on my radar! I‘m surprised about this one too 7y
Cinfhen Which I added as well @suvata 7y
BarbaraBB I read another book by Catherine Lacey. She is a good writer but I don‘t know The Answers. 7y
TrishB Have screenshot for a look later 👍🏻 7y
Cinfhen It‘s quite small on my iPhone but much larger on the iPad @TrishB ...#sothisis50 😘😘 7y
TrishB I have glasses but definitely need a new eye test!! 💕 7y
Megabooks Nooooooo!!! 🤢🤢🤢 @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi 7y
Kalalalatja So many books I want to read! 7y
Reviewsbylola I‘m definitely so shocked that it‘s popular. She writes well but the story itself . . . just no. @Booksandcooks 7y
britt_brooke 😫😫😫 7y
britt_brooke 😘 7y
Cinfhen 😉😀💕 @Kalalalatja @Booksandcooks @britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola I thought the writing was really lyrical and I thought the grittiness really came through even though the writing was so lovely BUT looking back, it's not my favorite book of the year but definitely will be on my list! This list was surprising... 7y
L_auren @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi Sing Unburied Sing is on the longlist for the Tournament of Books! I could end up reading it again 😳 what if I love it the second time? But Heart‘s isn‘t wahhhhh 7y
Cinfhen I keep forgetting about #ToB ~ need to check out that list more closely!!! Do you read the entire long list???? @L_auren (edited) 7y
Megabooks Same question @L_auren ! 7y
Megabooks I‘m a little shocked that Hearts isn‘t on there too, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ I thought it was good. Definitely up there. Better than some of the other #BOTM choices on the list. It is cool that I read so many of the fiction ones due to the challenge @Reviewsbylola @L_auren @emilyhaldi I hope to have read more best of the nonfiction next year @Cinfhen 😊😊 7y
Cinfhen Which on the NF would you recommend?!? @Booksandcooks 7y
L_auren @Booksandcooks @Cinfhen no thank god lol. The list will be narrowed to 16 for the Tournament. I will read 4 (2 for my round I‘m judging and then the final 2 all judges read) 7y
Cinfhen What??? You're an actual judge for the #ToB?!? @L_auren That's cool 😎😎 7y
L_auren @Cinfhen yes check out one of my more recent posts 😬 7y

Book tagged because it made me giggle. I feel like this isn't an accurate representation of what I've read. I barely used Goodreads opting to use a spreadsheet I got from Book Riot but that needs to be updated too.

Mehso-so

Pričakovala sem drugačno zgodbo. V bistvu gre za dnevnik samske ženske. Je pa knjiga vsaj smešna.
I expect something else. It's a diary of single women. This was easy reading. Book was so much fun! Honestly, this book was a complete suprised for me. ☺😀😂 #thelist #Phoebe #funny #womensfiction #contemporary #romance #romantsy
