Convenience Store Woman

By Sayaka Murata

4 stars

Challenging societal norms through the eyes of a convenience store worker who refuses to become a ‘normal’ human being. Fantastic read.
Am Samstag gehen die Mädchen in den Wald und jagen Sachen in die Luft

By Fiona Sironic

4 stars

Feminism meets post-capitalist dystopian world in which being an influencer is a dying profession and burning down mega data centres is all the rage.
What We Can Know

By Ian McEwan

3 stars

An interesting take on how we reconstruct history, the importance of literature, and the mark (or lack thereof) the humanities can leave on the world. Not his most thrilling novel, but alright.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

By Douglas Adams

5 stars

A timeless classic.
Little Fires Everywhere

By Celeste Ng

4 stars

Race, wealth, and social status - thrown into the mix with the fundamental question: what makes a mother a mother?
The Cafe on the Edge of the world

By John Strelecky

1 stars

No need to read. Main message that’s relayed repetitively on almost every page: do whatever makes you happy and life will be great.
Kataraina

By Becky Manawatu

4 stars

Great continuation of Auē. A must read.
Life Hacks For a Little Alien

By Alice Franklin

3 stars

Neurodivergent child obsesses over supposedly lost manuscript. Nice child narrator, mediocre story.
I Who Have Never Known Men

By Jacqueline Harpman

4 stars

A dystopian sci-fi extravaganza. A group of women living off the land (which may be earth… or not), or rather, off supplies left behind in bunkers. Female friendships and relationships and the burning question - what makes a life worth living. Also some hints to nature vs nurture.
Alchemised

By SenLinYu

4 stars

Based on their fan fiction - a gripping yet slightly nauseating dystopia rooted in magic and fantasy. The handmaid’s tale meets Harry Potter - but not officially, obviously…
Ten Poems about Dogs

By Dame Jenni Murray

2 stars
Katabasis

By R. F. Kuang

2 stars

Two annoying uni students go to hell to bring back their psychopathic professor. Could have skipped it!
