  • A Woman's Asia

    By Various (Edited by Marybeth Bond)
    4 stars

    Excellent compilation of true stories told by solo female travellers. Each account was entertaining and inspiring. My personal favourite was the very last tale about a woman who falls in love with AND in Bhutan. Highly recommend!

  • Lion

    By Saroo Brierley
    5 stars

    An absolutely incredible true story. It was hard to put this book down.

  • To Kill a Mockingbird

    By Harper Lee
    5 stars

    An absolute classic. I read this once every few years. Deals with strong themes of good vs evil, racism, prejudice and acceptance from the 1930s era. Atticus is such a strong and good-natured father/character. A must-read for any book lover. Highly recommend.

  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

    By J. K. Rowling
    5 stars

    Beginning to re-read the Harry Potter series this summer was incredibly nostalgic and it made me remember why I fell in love with reading as a 12-year old.

  • After the Tampa

    By Abbas Nazari
    4 stars

    This was an absolutely inspiring story of survival, resilience and the human spirit. Some people just have incredible stories that NEED to be told - this was one of them. An easy, gripping but emotional read. Would recommend.
