The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

2.0

Flights by Olga Tokarczuk

3.0

I'm not a fan of short story collections so I probably shouldn't have picked up this book, but I really enjoy Olga's writing. I could not tell you any of the plot of each story, it all felt quite random and I lost interest a lot. 

Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood

4.0

Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang

4.5

Genuinely so interesting and as it’s more of a memoir than a history book, it’s quite accessible
