A to Z Challenge 2023 – M

Welcome to day thirteen of the A-Z Challenge and today’s letter is M.

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:

Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan

I love Jodi Picoult’s books and the way she isn’t afraid to write about controversial topics. All of her books are so well researched and she gives both sides of her arguments without being preachy. Her latest offering is, at it’s core, a book about the bond between a mother and her son, and how she feels when she starts to doubt him. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

Madam by Phoebe Wynn

Straight away there is something about this book that feels creepy. There is something about the school that just feels off and the other teachers and even the students don’t help with that unsettling feeling. A great, creepy read that shows we still have some ground to cover before women are truly equal. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

My Mother, Munchausen’s and Me by Helen Naylor

A true story, this is really sad to read. It’s a picture of how mental illness, especially mental illness that is ignored, can destroy lives and families. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

Bonus Book/Shameless Plug One

The Mirror by Me

Can a mirror really reflect the past? If Lily’s friend that lives in the mirror isn’t real, how does she know so much about what happened before she was born? To read the blurb or to buy, click here.

Bonus Book/Shameless Plug Two

A Mother’s Love by Me

After losing a child, India moves away with her son, hoping to leave the past behind them and start again. But a series of creepy emails tells India that someone out there knows more than she wants them to. Is her whole existence going to come crashing down around her? And just how far will she go to protect Toby? To read the blurb or to buy, click here.
