Won't quite finish this one, YA about a high school women's hockey team and experiences of being sexually assaulted.
Interesting historical novel about one of the final hangings that took place in NZ, highlighting the moral panic over teenage delinquency, prejudices against immigrants and the debates about the death sentences in the 1950/60s.
The "first great perimenopausal novel".
This series keeps getting better, can't wait to read the next one.
A sweet story about a sad man who finds love again surrounded by books.
Beautiful novel about nothing and everything.
A great retelling of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of the slave James. Horrific at times but also witty and wise.
Only reading because I want to read James. So different from what I remembered from childhood about these characters.
A better written than most mystery/thriller set in the wealthy family estate in the Adirondaks. Split narratives, multiple timelines page turner.
True crime/investigative journalism/history book about the fire at the LA Public Library, full of amazing stories about the special part libraries play in society.
Woman taking care of her best friend during her final weeks at a hospice, sounds bleak but life affirming and funny. Great short read.
