Power Man and Iron Fist: Hardball

By Christopher Priest

4 stars

1980s superhero stuff. Revolutionary and ground-breaking for the time, and slightly racist by today's standards. Huge nostalgia pop for gen-x comic nerds, possibly not much to offer anyone else.
I Hope This Finds You Well

By Natalie Sue

5 stars

A woman working a dead-end office job gains secret access to her workmates' emails and chats and finds out what they're really saying about her. Really fun, and also made me go back to my department group chat and scan the last month of entries to remind myself what I had said about people...
Giving Birth To My Father

By Tusiata Avia

5 stars

Deeply confessional and confronting exploration of the death of the author's father. Incredible.
Moana: Voices of Our Ocean

By Danielle Kionasina Dilys Thomson

4 stars

Short collection of poetry themed around the ocean. Having 25 or so poems in a row on one topic means this is one to dip in and out of rather than read all at once, but it's very accessible and has a good mix of pieces.
Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner Rising

By Ron Marz

4 stars

Superhero stuff from the 1990s. Uneven in a lot of places, but terrific fun if you were reading superhero stuff in the 90s. (If you weren't, this may not be for you...)
Hansel and Gretel

By Stephen King

4 stars

Hansel and Gretel, but written by Stephen King and illustrated by Maurice Sendak, so yay!
Pheasants Nest

By Louise Milligan

4 stars

Fun, quick thriller. The actual plot (woman is kidnapped, some people look for her) is actually thin but the author does a thing where all of the characters are gone into in more depth than usual, explaining their motivations and feelings in a way that still makes the story move along and keep your interest.
20th Century Men

By Deniz Camp

3 stars

Alternate history/science fiction about the Russian war in Afghanistan. Interesting, but a little bit confused. This author has done some really clever narratives - this seemed like sort of a practise run for them.
The Mystery of the Silver Circle

By Mollie Chappell

2 stars

Sub-Enid-Blyton kids-own mystery/adventure from the 1930s. Fine if that's what you're looking for, but there's a reason this isn't as well known as things like The Famous Five.
Jet Ace Logan

By Ron Turner

3 stars

1950s science-fiction. Great if you like that sort of thing, but probably only appeals to a very niche audience.
Soul Harvest

By Tim LaHayne & Jerry B Jenkins

1 stars

Terrible. Offensive and terrible. Just as bad as the first three in the series. I can't wait to read book 5!
