“The Cost of Living” is the second of Deborah Levy’s working autobiographical publications. I enjoyed it for the most part, but found some of the essays to be unrelatable for me personally. I’ll probably go back and read the first in the series at some point as this was an enjoyable 3 star read for me.… Read More Audiobook Review: The Cost of Living by Deborah Levy
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!… Read More Book Review: No One is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg
“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.

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.… Read More Book Review: An Advertisement for Toothpaste by Ryszard Kapuściński
“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!… Read More Book Review: My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
