A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1) by V. E. Schwab
This was an old favourite but on a re-read it didn't hold up! Too much style and too little substance. ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars by Christopher Paolini
Not even Jennifer Hale's stellar narration could make this interesting - 1/5 ⭐
Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh
Disgusting, absurd, bleak, dark and weird AF - I loved it! - 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 5/5 Sheep
The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
The time travel element is a fun twist, and it's more thoughtful and mature than the average romance. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
The Snow Song by Sally Gardner
The powerful adult fairy tale was an unexpected treat that I couldn't put down! ❄️❄️❄️❄️ 4/5 Snowflakes

I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue
I really related to Jolene's experience of anxiety but as a novel it never quite lived up to it's potential. - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
The Murderbot Diaries (Series) by Martha Wells
The whole series is an absolute delight, and great audiobooks! - 🤖🤖🤖🤖 4/5 Murderbots
Worst Reads of 2024

Jessica Jones (2016) by Brian Michael Bendis & Michael Gaydos
This was a short 18-issue series but a welcome return for the team behind Alias, and a fitting conclusion to this chapter of Jessica's story. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
