1 Fahrenheit-182<\/a> by Mark Hoppus (Sphere, $40)<\/p>\n The blink-182 co-founder was in T\u0101maki for \u201cAn Evening of Story Telling\u201d this week, and those stories were clearly good enough that a good chunk of the audience promptly rushed out to grab a copy of his memoir.<\/p>\n 2 Heart the Lover<\/a>\u00a0by Lily King (Canongate, $37)<\/p>\n Gotta love a campus novel.<\/p>\n 3 The<\/a> Correspondent<\/a> by Virginia Evans (Michael Joseph, $38)<\/p>\n This is top of my Easter reading pile \u2013 anyone else?<\/p>\n 4 Hooked<\/a>\u00a0by Asako Yuzuki (Fourth Estate, $37)<\/p>\n From the queen who gave us Butter!<\/p>\n 5 Look What You Made Me Do<\/a>\u00a0by John Lanchester (Faber & Faber, $38)<\/p>\n While this title is giving Taylor Swift, the book is a satirical thriller \/ black comedy. Here\u2019s a snippet from Clare Clark\u2019s fairly mixed review on The Guardian:<\/a> \u201cIt is hard to say more without risking spoilers, but if the novel has a state-of-the-nation agenda, it lies in the inequity between the boomers who have helped themselves to everything and the millennials who must live with the consequences. This is not new territory for Lanchester. In Capital, the battle lines are drawn between those who have profited \u2013 mind-bogglingly and usually by dumb luck \u2013 from spiralling property values, and those for whom home ownership has become an impossible fantasy. Cold and hungry, the beleaguered young soldiers guarding The Wall know exactly who to blame for their predicament: \u2018the world hadn\u2019t always been like this and \u2026 the people responsible \u2026 were our parents \u2013 them and their generation\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n 6 The Black Monk<\/a>\u00a0by Charlotte Grimshaw (Penguin, $38)<\/p>\n This is second on my Easter reading list: there are quite a few takes out there now. The Spinoff\u2019s is coming \u2026<\/p>\n 7 Rasputin and the Downfall of the Romanovs<\/a> by Antony Beevor (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, $60)<\/p>\n \u201cHow could a barely literate peasant from Siberia determine the fate of the world? Undoubtedly, the so-called \u2018mad monk\u2019 Rasputin bewitched Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra. Yet their strange and scandalous relationship conceals a riddle, one that casts an intriguing light on the controversial \u2018great man\u2019 theory of history.\u201d And from there you must read to find out more.<\/p>\n 8 Wild Dark Shore<\/a>\u00a0by Charlotte McConaghy (Penguin, $38)<\/p>\n \u201cIt might sound as if McConaghy\u2019s novel asks a lot of its readers, but in fact it\u2019s a suspenseful, rushing read, full of short chapters, emotional twists, and a landscape it\u2019s all too easy to sink into and live in.\u201d So says the Chicago Review of Books.<\/a><\/p>\n 9 Wuthering Heights<\/a> by Emily Bront\u00eb (Penguin, $28)\u00a0<\/p>\n Bront\u00eb takes back the narrative from the clumsy hands of Fennell.<\/p>\n 10 Mother Mary Comes to Me<\/a> by Arundhati Roy (Hamish Hamilton, $40)<\/p>\n Compelling and brilliant and longlisted for the Women\u2019s Prize for Nonfiction.<\/p>\n WELLINGTON<\/p>\n 1 The Only Way is Up: On Foot to Rome<\/a> by Jennifer Andrewes (Parallel Lives, $35)<\/p>\n
