A A Botanist's Guide to Society and Secrets

By Kate Khavari

3 stars

A good fun and twisty mystery with the intrigue of it being solved via plants/fungi and a woman scientist when women weren't as valued as men in the science community. Actually #2 in a series but was quite readable as a standalone.

A Fantasy with an original twist of a magic system which is based on tarot cards and is strictly controlled by the crown. And of course a supposedly wiped out family line that comes out of hiding. The anatgonist is very interesting.
Insectopolis

By Peter Kuper

5 stars

This is graphic non-fiction book which is all about the natural history of insects with facts that I never even thought about that insects influenced historical events - even the issue of slavery on USAs south in regards to malaria! A Fascinating read and of course the isllustrations are wondeful.

Their Fractured Light

By Amie Kaufman

I really enjoyed this series, I liked the MPOV, how the three books are pretty standalone but all come together for the conclusion at the end of this book. Very satisfying.

No2 in the Starbound series
At First Spite

By Olivia Dade

4 stars

An emotional book that had me laughing out loud but also had me with tears in my eyes too. Great examples of revenge/aggravation tactics. Imagine playing audio books of 'monster f*%$#@g' romance extremely loudly just to annoy your neighbour.

The Midlife Edit

By Gail McNeill

Not worth the hype. Sets itself up as the only book of it's type, it's not and the writing didn't work for me at all.
Alchemy of Secrets

By Stephanie Garber

5 stars

Absolutely wonderful, lots of action, good world building. But I love following clues and twists.About urban folklore and myths. The hunt for a magical object which will ensure that Holland lives past midnight. Who to trust, what to believe??

Morbidly Yours

By Ivy Fairbanks

This was a great audio book, multi POV with 2 narrators. Interesting and likable characters. A bit different in that one is demisexual mortician and the other has some guilt trauma from the death of their spouse. A quirky, fun romance set in Galloway.
