White Teeth by Zadie Smith
A well told, often funny, Dickensian flavour exploration of immigrant life in the melting pot of 1970s-1990s London. This was a great audiobook but just not a genre that excites me. - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
An understandable Classic but just not in a flavour that I enjoy! - 👻👻👻 3.5/5 Dead Wives
I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn’t) by Brené Brown
An interesting topic but felt a bit too American, and focused on research findings rather than actionable advice. Her later books are probably a better starting point. - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Apparently, I had no idea what this book was actually about! A brutal, melodramatic and surprisingly petty revenge plot - 👊👊👊 3/5 Blows To The Head
None of This is True by Lisa Jewell
It was finally my turn on the waitlist for Lisa Jewell's latest thriller! This one is fantastic in audio format, but didn't excite me as much as I expected. - ⭐ ⭐️ ⭐ 3/5 Stars
The Expanse by James S.A. Corey: Re-reading Books 1 to 4
The Expanse books are a cracking Sci-Fi series. Here are my reviews for the first four books as I reread them in preparation for finally finishing the series!
Good Behaviour by Molly Keane
Well written but miserable family saga with a naïve unreliable narrator - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
The Last Train Home by Elle Cook
Bingeable but forgettable romance - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
Pretend I’m Dead by Jen Beagin
Strong character voice with a messy, lived in life and a cast of oddballs - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
Run, Rose, Run by Dolly Parton & James Patterson
Unsatisfying, full of holes and stuffed with unimaginative clichés. - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
