“Educated” is a rewarding, powerful memoir by Tara Westover. It’s not an easy read, but I’ve learned a lot through Tara’s story and would recommend that you do too. 4 stars!… Read More Audiobook Review: Educated by Tara Westover
“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
“An American Marriage” by Tayari Jones was a book of two parts for me. The first was compelling, the second not so much. I definitely didn’t hate it but it wasn’t my favourite either, sitting somewhere in the middle with 3 stars.… Read More Book Review: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
“Lullaby” is gripping and it’s definitely a thriller, but I don’t know if there is much more I can say.

I found that this book didn’t work for me. I enjoyed the first few chapters but I felt like I couldn’t connect with the main character while jumping back and forth in time. I’d have loved a book with a little more Tracey and a little less Aimee, a little more school days and a little less plodding along building a school in Africa. After wanting to read this for so long, I’m sad to say it’s 2 stars for Zadie Smith’s “Swing Time”.… Read More Book Review: Swing Time by Zadie Smith
This must be a book which divides people. A worldwide bestseller which I can see is loved by many but I just didn’t get it, feeling let down by vague characters and a poor ending. I don’t see the appeal of “The Girls” and will be scoring this one 2 stars.… Read More Book Review: The Girls by Emma Cline
