Reading Roundup: March 2024
I didn't as read much as usual in March, but one was a five star, the first of the year!
Penance by Eliza Clark
Compelling evisceration of the True Crime industry, with levels of unreliable narrators! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars
Beach Read by Emily Henry
I inhaled this book! Funny yet grown-up romance with a Happy For Now. Most of all I loved the peak into the writing process! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
An incredible feat of imagination! Just such a cool idea. I never thought I’m be so interested in spiders... - 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️ 4/5 Spiders
Reading Roundup: February 2024
Five books read in February, and a few I'm looking at reading next.
The No-Show by Beth O’Leary
Not the story the cover would have you believe, with a twist predictable from the start. - 🤷🏻🤷🏻 2/5 Shrugs
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
An understandable Classic but just not in a flavour that I enjoy! - 👻👻👻 3.5/5 Dead Wives
We Spread by Iain Reid
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars - A challenging bit of weird fiction with strong themes. Deliciously, wide open for your own interpretation!
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
