Purrs and Peril

By Jinty James

3 stars

A very cosy mystery (free on Kindle), including a Norwegian Forest cat.
Rebel

By Marie Lu

3 stars

Read the first three books years ago - didn't realise there was a fourth. Was interesting to revisit this world but a few years into the future.
Sunrise on the Reaping

By Suzanne Collins

3 stars

I enjoyed this more than the first prequel, although I'm not sure "enjoy" is the right word. #Heartbreaking
Hallowe'en Party

By Agatha Christie

3 stars

I love an Agatha Christie mystery but this one was not my favourite.
The Chimes

By Anna Smaill

3 stars

Another Kiwi author recommendation. It was hard to wrap my head around the realities of this dystopian future & the true horror of always being at risk of losing your most treasured memories. Enjoyed the musical vocabulary interwoven in day-to-day life, like "tacet," "subito," "lento," "forte," etc.
The Brothers Hawthorne

By Jennifer Lynn Barnes

3 stars

I first heard about this series on Adam Grant's podcast & while I don't love it as much as he does, it is still entertaining.
Legends & Lattes

By Travis Baldree

4 stars

Really enjoyed this "cosy fantasy" - with an orc like you've never seen one before.
Magic Breaks

By Ilona Andrews

3 stars

This felt like the end of the series... But it's not!
Talesā: The Covenant Keeper

By Lani Wendt Young

3 stars

This was one of the NZ author recommendations that I decided to give a try.
Maskerade

By Terry Pratchett

3 stars

I love the author's unique voice (and the narrator did a great job).
The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye

By David Lagercrantz

3 stars

A relatively satisfying ending.
Crazy Rich Asians

By Kevin Kwan

3 stars

Can't believe it has already been 7 years since the movie came out. Enjoyed revisiting the story with the extra details and insights the book provides.
Magic Rises

By Ilona Andrews

3 stars

Book 6 in the Kate Daniels series - an alternative universe where magic waves intermittently knock out technology.
As Good As Dead

By Holly Jackson

3 stars

Quite a few girls on my class were enjoying this series - I found it quite dark, especially this third & final book. It works really well as an audiobook as the protagonist has a podcast.
Hunted (The Deadlands)

By Skye Melki-Wegner

4 stars

A great story for dinosaur-loving students. (First book of a trilogy)
