“Astrophysics for People in a Hurry” is not as accessible as the title and blurb will have you believe. I didn’t really understand anything and after persevering through the majority, I added this to my DNF pile. Sorry!… Read More Audiobook Review: Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Behind the Scenes at the Museum” tells the historical story of one woman and her family. I couldn’t connect with this story and struggled to keep up with the huge plethora of characters. I’m afraid this was a 1 star read for me.… Read More Audiobook Review: Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson
“The Lion’s Den” wasn’t my cup of tea. I’d say it was my least favourite of the Inheritance Collection, mostly because I couldn’t connect with it and there were some parts I just didn’t understand.

“Falling into Place” is a sad story which tackles some difficult subjects, from bullying to drug use to suicide. It’s certainly not a happy read and is quite emotional at times. Unfortunately this book wasn’t for me, I couldn’t connect with the main character and this seriously affected how I felt about the whole thing – 1 star.… Read More Book Review: Falling into Place by Amy Zhang
