What was the last book you read?

ConstantRepeat

For those of you who are into reading, what was the last book you read and/or the book you are currently reading? 

The last book I read was Radio Silence by Alice Oseman and the book I'm currently reading is The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin. Two books out of my comfort zone because they are very different to what I usually read but I enjoyed/am enjoying both. I'm also reading Death Note (manga) at the moment, which is a more usual genre for me. I bought the black editions of the series recently and they look so beautiful on my bookshelves Heart eyes

    I felt really uncomfortable about how that book portrayed autistic people.

    I read a slim book a few months ago which counts as the last that I finished rather than made a start on. It was also autism themed, by implication. Convenience Store Woman, about a lady in modern Japan who is needs continuity, routine etc. but feels continual societal judgement over it. Or rather, she’s aware of that judgement but seldom cares, just is privately puzzled. There’s another male character who then comes in to it and he’s doing less well with similar issues. They come to a little arrangement- not the super-obvious one! - to help each other out a little. It’s a very engaging book, but I’m so glad I don’t live in Japan!
