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
Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll
An engrossing novel and affective dismantling of the Bundy myth. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
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
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
