For me “The Swimmers” by Julie Otsuka was a disjointed, unbalanced read. I liked the section about the swimmers and the swimming pool, but after that, this book just wasn’t for me. A 2 star read!… Read More Audiobook Review: The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

‘Early Morning Riser’ is a feel-good easy read (or listen in my case). This is an enjoyable character based story following a quirky bunch over a period of 17 years. I really liked it and it’s 4 stars from me!… Read More Audiobook Review: Early Morning Riser
It’s another 3 stars from me for “A Stanger in the House” by Shari Lapena. This is a contemporary thriller that I enjoyed, but wasn’t amazed by. Recommended for fans of the author!… Read More Audiobook Review: A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena

“Weather” wasn’t really a book I can say I enjoyed. I struggled to follow along some parts as the subjects flicked around in this inner monologue. This wasn’t for me, but it’s clear that it appeals to a lot of people and has been nominated for several prizes. Perhaps I’ll give it another try some time down the line.… Read More Audiobook Review: Weather by Jenny Offill
“Daisy Jones and the Six” has quickly earned it’s place in my favourite reads of all time. Telling the story of a fictional rock band in the 70s, this story is so real. It’s fully immersive, compulsive and addictive – a very strong 5 stars!… Read More Audiobook Review: Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
“After the End” is an emotional, contemporary novel about two people facing the hardest decision of their lives. I enjoyed the narration and would definitely recommend the audiobook – this was a great 4 star read for me.… Read More Audiobook Review: After the End by Clare Mackintosh
