The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
4.0
I enjoyed this book as it seemed brutally honest in its depiction of what a family goes through when a child is murdered. I appreciated that the narration came from the point of view of the murdered child as it allowed me to be somewhat detached from the emotions when I needed to be.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
5.0
This book has just been added to my list of all-time favourites! The lessons it teaches are meaningful and should not be forgotten!
Cake on a Hot Tin Roof by Jacklyn Brady
3.0
A light, easy read! My only complaint is that the resolution of the mystery felt a bit rushed and weak!
Larger Than Life by Jodi Picoult
5.0
By using an elephant to illustrate the love a mother has for her child, Jodi Picoult has delivered yet another beautifully written, moving story!
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
5.0
I loved this book! Enzo made me laugh and cry while narrating the life of his humans.
The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop: A Memoir, a History by Lewis Buzbee
3.0
Described as a memoir and a history, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop was written for a true bibliophile! I personally found the historical bits of the book more interesting and engaging than the memoir. The book was easy to dip into, and offers the true book and bookshop lover food for thought!
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
5.0
I can't believe it wasn't until this year that I finally read this classic! It was a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging read from start to finish! It's definitely going on my list of favourites!
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
4.0
A beautiful story in a style that only Jodi Picoult can deliver! I fell in love with the humans and the elephants and was moved to tears by the end!
The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson
4.0
Witty, well-written, and full of laugh-outloud moments! The tale of a young black woman from South Africa is well-worth a read!
