Red Scarf Girl

By Ji-Li Jiang

4 stars

A really interesting memoir of a young girls experience of the Cultural Revolution in China. I learnt a lot from this book and it has inspired me to read more books about this topic as I have realised how little I know about this time in China.

The Lost Year

By Katherine Marsh

5 stars

Excellent book, my favourite this holiday so far. A teen historical book set in the 1930's during the Ukrainian famine. There are three protagonist, one 13 year old male living in the present in the USA, one 13 year old girl living in the 1930's in the USA and one 13 year old girl living in the Ukraine in the 1930's. Between the three different protagonists, they tell a story about the Holodomor. The story is engaging, educational, interesting and moving.

Although maybe not the best written book, I did enjoy this teen thriller. It was full of suspense and kept me hooked until the end.
The Mythmakers

By John Hendrix

Loved this biography of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. It's a beautiful book which would make a wonderful gift. It's part graphic novel and part story with beautiful illustrations. A wonderful and interesting read.
When Will There Be Good News?

By Kate Atkinson

4 stars

This is the first Kate Atkinson book I have read and I really enjoyed it. It has a lot of characters and story lines so can get a bit confusing at times, though they all eventually link together. It can be quite funny at times but also very sad as well.

This is the second adult cozy fantasy I have read and I really enjoy this genre. Witches are meant to keep themselves secret and to keep themselves apart from each other so their magic doesn't give themselves away. Mika Moon has kept herself alone most of her life but finds herself in a new role of teaching three young witches magic. Here she begins to learn about family, friendship and love.

Return to Sender

I thought this was a mystery but it's more about family and friendship and coming to terms with the past. Brodie returns to live with Nan from boarding school and rekindles her friendship with Levi and Elliot and starts re-reading unclaimed letters from the past and tries to solve the mystery of who the letter writers were and where are they now.
