Honestly struggled with the audiobook - will be trying again with a physical copy!

The List

Yomi Adegoke

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

Unlikeable characters, the background makes no sense (how can she be part of a power-couple so famous everyone online knows who she and he are, but her work doesn't??? Also no idea why they are together in the first place). I couldn't stick with it since I wasn't enjoying it at all

Song of the Huntress

Lucy Holland

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

Struggling to finish it and it's a library borrow so can't keep it any longer. 

May try again at a later date.

No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference

Greta Thunberg

DID NOT FINISH: 38%

Struggling a little with this - maybe would work as an audiobook, but since they are speeches and some are speeches given days from each other and feel very similar. May try again later.

Giovanni's Room

James Baldwin

NW

Zadie Smith

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

Found the writing quite confusing. Honestly I don't think I'm in the right head space for this but maybe will try again at a later date.
Will say if you're reading Zadie Smith for the first time, don't start with this one!

The Stolen Queen

Lisa Hilton

DID NOT FINISH: 36%

This seemed really interesting but I found it quite confusing and honestly boring.

The main character is meant to be young (she's like 9) but she is very whiny and yet acts like a 5 year old and an adult at the same time. She can manipulate men but also wants to play and has tantrums when she doesn't get her way.

All the reviews I saw said that this was not historically accurate at all, so if that's something you care about, I'd Skipp this one.

Overall, I hated this. Xoxox
