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
Nemesis Games (The Expanse #5) by James S.A. Corey
Book #5 had me staying up far too late! This one is a game changer in the series. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Nothing But The Truth: Stories of Crime, Guilt and Loss of Innocence by The Secret Barrister
I want to preface that this is is not a bad book at all, it just wasn't for me - ❌ DNF
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Far fetched yet entirely predictable plot, with unengaging characters. This isn't one of Lisa Jewell's best - ⭐⭐ 2/5 Stars
Why Did You Stay?: A Memoir About Self-Worth By Rebecca Humphries
A blazingly honest memoir of abuse, very public heartbreak, and self-(re)discovery. Inspiring, uplifting and funny - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
The Ghost Woods by C.J. Cooke
Atmospheric, gothic thriller but ultimately unsatisfying - 🍄🍄🍄🍄 4/5 Spooky Mushrooms

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
