Rise and Divine by Lana Harper

2.0

A fun but ultimately fine time.

The Forester's Daughter by Claire Keegan

4.0

Everything Claire Keegan writes is delightful.

Greta & Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly

4.5

Absolutely sensational. Cannot wait to see what Reilly does next. 

Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck

3.0

I wanted to love it but did not. I do think it was me that was the problem - my Berlin Wall knowledge was not where it needed to be for this one. I’m gonna fix this and potentially revisit one day. 

Dragman by Steven Appleby

2.75

Good but not great, had high hopes but I felt the depth was lacking.

The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue

3.5

Felt like a really well written gossip mag. A great time. 

Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory by Martha Wells

3.5

Short but sweet, and always enjoyable.

Another Marvelous Thing by Laurie Colwin

5.0

Laurie Colwin wrote this book in the 80s and yet. It has the wit of Wendy Cope, and the writing quality of Austen. I am so excited to read every word she has written. 

Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

4.0

Love them all. 

Now Go: On Grief and Studio Ghibli by Karl Thomas Smith

3.0

I would read anything about Ghibli. Some brilliant perspectives on grief and the types of grief - but also some self-indulgent sections. Worth a read regardless.
