  • The Women

    By Kristin Hannah
    4 stars

    This was wonderful in terms of characterisation and immersing you into the world of nursing during the Vietnam war. It just fell down a bit at the end when a series of increasingly improbably twists felt just a little forced.

  • The Briar Club

    By Kate Quinn
    5 stars

    Outstanding. Twisty until the very end and it made 1950's America come alive.

  • The Vanishing Place

    By Zoe Rankin
    4 stars

    Having hear Zoe Rankin speak about her book at a local library evening, I really wanted to read this book. It wasn't disappointing. In her talk, Rankin said she is a meticulous planner and you can see that throughout the book. It twists and turns. It was so unpredictable. The ending was a little bit of a stretch but this is a very strong debut novel and I'm looking forward to more.

  • Sound The Gong

    By Joan He
    5 stars

    The sequel to 'Strike The Zither'. Again, brilliantly written. Diverse, interesting and unique. A great read.

  • Strike The Zither

    By Joan He
    5 stars

    This is a retelling of the famous Chinese tale, 'Three Kingdoms'. It's different and brilliantly written.

  • The Shadow of the Wind

    By Carlos Ruiz Zafon
    4 stars

    This is a brilliantly written book but, my goodness, does it take its time to get anywhere. The last third is wonderful as the story comes together and you realise why you've had endless backstories and side quests.

  • Silverborn

    By Jessica Townsend
    4 stars

    Like all good series, the protagonist had to grow up and the story get darker. Overall, this works in the latest instalment of Morrigan Crow's adventures, but this one took me a little while to get into. I am still hooked though!

  • Hollowpox

    By Jessica Townsend
    5 stars

    I'm now fully immersed in Mog's world. This is another page turner in this series for young adults. Plenty of plot twists but still a strong focus on friends, family and identity.

  • Legacy

    By Whiti Hereaka
    5 stars

    A brilliant NZ book. Plenty of local references but a timeless story.

  • Wundersmith

    By Jessica Townsend
    5 stars

    A great sequel with plenty of twists and turns.

  • Nevermoor

    By Jessica Townsend
    5 stars

    An excellent and highly entertaining YA fantasy book.
