The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
Slow paced, uninteresting stereotypes and lacking any subtlety. Disappointing! - 💀 DNF
Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell (Marvel Crime #1)
Lisa Jewell x Jessica Jones is what I never knew I always wanted! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman
Read for nostalgia and it’s still an entertaining, grown-up mystery thriller that doesn’t talk down to its audience - 3/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England’s Kings and Queens by David Mitchell
David Mitchell telling me the history of England's monarchs, what's not to love?! - 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 5/5 Crowns
A User’s Guide to Make-Believe by Jane Alexander
A solid bit of speculative fiction and well read audiobook - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill
A fun idea but shallow and didn't have enough substance for a full novel. - ⭐⭐ 2/5 Stars
Watching You by Lisa Jewell
A top tier smart and twisty Lisa Jewell mystery! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell
An accessible, conversational look at the cognitive biases that affect our thinking in the modern world. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell
Exceptionally thin on the linguistic elements, and full of basic filler on cults - all of which I already knew! ⭐⭐ 2/5 Stars
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
