A book that had so much promise, but ultimately fell flat. While the sections based on history were really interesting, this book just didn't seem to...go anywhere or do anything.

A fabulous YA fantasy book based in Korean mythology. I absolutely loved this and couldn't stop listening - totally addicting, charming, and emotional. I'd highly recommend the audiobook.

While the book started out great, I found the ending to be a bit of a letdown. I have a lot of logistical questions!

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book - it just didn't feel like there was much of a plot - but it was a good instalment in the series and I'm looking forward to reading the final book in the trilogy!

The movie is a personal favourite, and it turns out to be a fantastic adaptation of the book. The audiobook is narrated by the author, not something I usually like, but he does a truly fantastic job!

The third installment of The Thursday Murder Club series is just as fun and adventurous as the others. The audiobook narrator has been changed, but she does a great job.

An informative survey of sex work(ers) in the 18th century. The author reads the audiobook and does a great job.

A wonderful YA debut with queer characters, ghostly friendships, and some proper horror. One of my favourites of 2022!

I don't usually read celebrity memoirs, but this one was absolutely worth picking up. About the toxic relationship between Jeanette and her mother, she doesn't hold back in the dark details. Highly recommended, but check content warnings.
