Paradise Lost, Book 4 by John Milton
4.0
As my favourite book in Milton's Epic Poem, I decided to re-read this biased, yet perhaps more accurate, account of Lucifer's entrance into Eden and initial temptation of Eve.
The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath by Sylvia Plath
5.0
This should be at the top of everybody's reading list...
Trump's Christmas Carol by Lucien Young, Watt T. Dickens
5.0
Absolutely Hilarious.
Taken its recent publication date, I would recommend reading this as soon as possible because the political references remain topical and amusing.

Positive: A Memoir by Ali Benjamin, Paige Rawl
5.0
I especially liked Rawl's emphasis on the fact that it is not our fault when we are bullied. There is this wonderful passage near the end where she talks about the differences which each of us have and, unfortunately, sometimes hide. As this year's anti-bullying week slogan went: we are all different, all equal.
The Light Jar by Lisa Thompson
3.0
Whilst notably a bit young for me, I did enjoy this as a quick, relaxing read. Thompson's mystery is intriguing and, well, not something that I can say I've ever come across in this sort of novel (that's not a bad thing!). I especially enjoyed Nate's provincial routine after being left alone in the cottage - there is something quite comforting in reading about this.
Keep in mind that there is some referral to domestic violence but Thompson ensures that it is neither graphic nor inappropriate for younger readers. In fact, it is a great way to help children understand abusive relationships.
