The Women

By Kristin Hannah

3 stars
My French Affair

By Maria Hoyle

4 stars
Daughter of Arabia

By Jean Sasson

4 stars

Interesting to learn more about the next generation after Princess.
The Trees

By Percival Everette

1 stars

Did not enjoy it.
Atmosphere

By Taylor Jenkins Reid

3 stars

I would have preferred more about the space missions and less love story
Surviving Centrepoint

By Rachel C. King

4 stars

Knowing nothing about this infamous cult I found it rather shocking. It was very heartwarming that Rachel went onto have a happy supportive family of her own after her years at Centrepoint. How did the authorities not shut it down years ago!!
The Condition

By Jennifer Haigh

3 stars

Well written but was not sure where it was going at one stage. Liked the ending
The Bookseller at the End of the World

By Ruth Shaw

4 stars

Loved it. What an interesting life!
The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo

By Robin Quinn

3 stars

Unbelievable what Wells managed to get away with and at the end makes sense that the multiple breaking of the bank on the gambling tables was also a scam.
The Humans

By Matt Haig

4 stars

Interesting and quite funny to see how a being from another world will view humans and their habits.
A Healthy You

By Carol Alt, Jocelyn Steiber

3 stars

A bit of everything but really liked the raw vegan eating section.
Remote Sympathy

By Catherine Chidgey

3 stars

I found it quite hard to listen to. Really disturbing part of history but beautifully written.
Something Needs to Change

By David Platt

4 stars

A reality check on the suffering of others and how ones skills can be used to help in a very practical and spiritual way.
Without You, There is no Us

By Suki Kim

3 stars

I had very little knowledge about North Korea so found the book very interesting.
Long Island

By Colm Toibin

0 stars

Such a lovely read, loved the Italian and Irish aspect of the book. Have not read Brooklyn but it did not really distract form this read.
And Then We Hit a Rock

By Greg Buenzli

4 stars

Loved the honesty of Greg in un-glamourising the sailing life style. What an adventure though! A must read for all boaties.
The Carpool Detectives

By Chuck Hogan

3 stars

Facinating what 4 woman could find out about a cold case of a double homicide while on covid lockdown! I suspected the family all the way through so it was quite a surprise how it all turned out.
Retirement Ready

By Martin Hawes

4 stars

Easy to read and understand. Some good stratergies to follow and very helpful written for the New Zealanders. Would definately recommend it for anyone preparing for semi retirement or retirement.
A Farewell to Arms

By Ernest Hemingway

5 stars

Loved it. Beautifully written and read. Was not expecting the ending.
The Other Wes Moore

By Wes Moore

3 stars

Two fatherless boys facing many of the same challenges growing up but with such hugely different outcomes. It was very sad that Wes had tried so hard to put his life on a better path but that economically he could not sustain it and that the life of crime paid better but then at a huge cost.
The Unlikely Doctor

By Dr Timolite Moke

3 stars

An amazing story of tenacity, resilience and total focus on making a difference in the lives of others and leaving an incredible legacy.
1985

Really sad but learnt a lot about the French resistance.
