I enjoyed rereading this! A very fun, gentle parody of Harry Potter and fan fiction. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
She’s a Killer by Kirsten McDougall
The cli-fi dystopic setting was cool, and it's funny but I found it had nothing to say. 🍍🍍🍍 3/5 Pineapples
Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo
A quick read and a quick review: short, clinically straight to the point and razor-sharp! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
I loved the historical True Crime element and how it is used to explore many of my favourite themes: memory, truth and unreliable narrators. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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
