Find out more about Thursday’s Top 4 here! It’s basically a meme I started mainly for myself, but anyone can participate! Visit this page for the upcoming topics 🙂
This week’s topic is non-fluffy books, books with minimal romance. There was a T5W post similar to this a while ago, but I’ll link it here if you want to read it!
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
It’s a creepy mystery and there’s nothing fluffy about it at all!
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
Though there’s some romance in it, there’s nothing fluffy.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
This is a book about love, and some psychotic people might read it as fluffy, but it 100% is not fluffy.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Again, Theo has relationships and loves people, but I don’t really think about fluffiness when I think about his relationships.
Thanks for reading!

Ahhh I really need to read The Goldfinch, The Secret History is one of my favorite books but I shamefully haven’t read either of Tartt’s other novels 😦

It’s one of my favourites! I haven’t read the Secret History yet, but it’s on my TBR!

Interesting list! I didn’t used to care if there was romance in a book… and then I *wanted* romance in a book (when there was none in my life)… and now I find that I don’t mind one way or the other, but I want to know which it is going in. Strange how our reading tastes change in subtle ways.

I feel you! I think I read so much YA romances for a while that I was really looking for stuff without romance for a while

For a while it seems all the books I picked up had sneaky romances. Those drove me crazy. If there’s a romance that takes up that much of the storyline, say so in the synopsis! /rant
Sorry about that.

Sneaky romances are the worst though.

Great list!! Totally agree about Memoirs of a Geisha! hehe there’s no way anyone can think Lolita is fluffy. And you’re right about Goldfinch too.
