Twilight Territory

By Andrew X. Pham

4 stars

I really enjoyed Twilight Territory and found it especially interesting after visiting Vietnam over the summer school hols. It follows a group of young people in the 1940s whose lives overlap during the Japanese occupation of French-colonial Vietnam, with personal relationships unfolding alongside the tension and uncertainty of wartime.
Mythos

By Stephen Fry

4 stars

Stephen Fry, as entertaining as ever!
The Dictionary of Lost Words

By Pip Williams

4 stars

The Dictionary of Lost Words. A detailed and interesting account of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary, interwoven with the story of Esme, the compiler’s daughter, coming of age alongside the early suffragette movement.
Demon Copperhead

5 stars
In too Deep

By Lee Child

4 stars

Reacher books are always a quick, entertaining , easy read. Disappointed to be getting to the end of the series…
Where the Crawdads Sing

By Delia Owen’s

4 stars

Where the Crawdads Sing — I’d had this on my Libby waitlist since before the 2020 lockdowns (!), so I was super excited to finally get it over the holidays. I always find it interesting to learn about new places and communities, and this didn’t disappoint. The marsh setting is stunning and becomes almost a character in its own right. The story balances a coming-of-age narrative with a slow-burn mystery.
1984

By George Orwell

4 stars

1984 — depressing (again), but an interesting and unsettling read at this point in time. The ideas around misinformation, control of language, and being told what to believe despite clear evidence to the contrary feel uncomfortably relevant, which makes the novel feel different on this reread.
No Plan B

By Lee Child (and Andrew Child)

4 stars

Reacher books are always a quick, entertaining , easy read. Disappointed to be getting to the end of the series…
