Book Review: No One is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg

April 29, 2020April 29, 20207 Comments

This little book contains some highly influential and powerful speeches given by climate change activist Greta Thunberg over the past year. I'm knocking off a star because if you consider this book as a whole, it's quite repetitive, but still a recommended read. 4 stars!

Audiobook Review: Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

April 27, 2020May 10, 20204 Comments

"Conversations with Friends" was a wonderful story to listen to. I really enjoyed Aoife McMahon's narration and Sally Rooney's writing style has me hooked too. This is a witty character study which I devoured in a matter of days - 5 stars!

Book Review: An Amorous Discourse in the Suburbs of Hell by Deborah Levy

April 26, 2020April 26, 20204 Comments

"An Amorous Discourse in the Suburbs of Hell" is an enjoyable quick read, but it's not something that's going to stay with me forever. It sits somewhere in the middle of my varying opinions of Deborah Levy's work so far - 3 stars.

Blog Tour: The Butchers by Ruth Gilligan

April 23, 2020May 3, 20201 Comment

It's my stop on the blog tour for 'The Butchers' by Ruth Gilligan! This is an interesting story set in Ireland in 1996. Full of folklore and tradition, this is a compelling coming-of-age story reflecting the changing views and beliefs at this time.

Blog Tour: The Book of Koli by M.R. Carey

April 17, 2020September 25, 20208 Comments

"The Book of Koli" is great and if the rest of the trilogy is anything like this, we're in for a treat! I engaged with the characters and felt fully immersed in this descriptive world. This was a strong 4 stars for me!

Book Review: An Advertisement for Toothpaste by Ryszard Kapuściński

April 15, 2020April 15, 2020Leave a comment

Despite it's intriguing name, "An Advertisement for Toothpaste" really isn't a book I can recommend. I didn't understand a lot of it and felt confused until the final story. I'm sure this will be enjoyed by many, but sadly it's not for me - 1 star.

Book Review: My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

April 11, 2020April 11, 202011 Comments

"My Sister, the Serial Killer" is a quick, entertaining read which I'm glad I've finally got round to reading. I enjoyed the relationship between the two sisters and the writing style too. It's a strong 4 stars from me!

Book Review: Some Kind of Wonderful by Giovanna Fletcher

April 6, 2020April 6, 20202 Comments

"Some Kind of Wonderful" is a lovely, comforting read about one woman's journey of self-discovery. I enjoyed this story and will keep an eye out for more books by this author - 4 stars!
