Welcome to day twelve of the A-Z Challenge and today’s letter is L.
The A-Z Challenge involves blogging every day except Sundays and each day corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. The daily posts most relate to that letter and can all have a theme or can be totally random. My theme this year is Recommended Reading, where I will share three to five books for each letter that I have really enjoyed and think more people should read.
I have tried to have a mix of authors and genres but you will notice some real favourites occurring more than once. The posts do contain affiliate links (don’t worry, they don’t affect you in any way but if you want to know more, check the end of the post). Below you will find today’s chosen books:
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
I love this book and I have read it multiple times. I think it’s a fascinating look at the way society breaks down when the rules are taken away. A must read! To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.
The Liar’s Room by Simon Lelic
I like the intensity of this one and how we, as the reader, are never quite sure who to believe or why. Lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing in this one. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.
Lovesick by Jon Athan
This is considered to be extreme horror and isn’t for the faint hearted. It has a ton of trigger warnings (or it should have) and it is gory to the max. Having said that, if you aren’t squeamish, then this is a great read that leaves you wondering just how far someone will go to get their revenge. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

I absolutely detested Lord of the Flies, and we did it for O levels (age 16 exams).
Recently I discovered that Golding was merely perpetuating a myth of the time, encouraged by numerous falsified and biassed studies, about the way groups behave. Read Humankind by Rutger Bregman for more info.
Oh interesting, I’ll check that out thanks!
