Anathema

By Keri Lake

2 stars

Easy reading fantasy. Had its moments but wasn’t overly gripping.
Quicksilver

By Callie Hart

3 stars

Easy reading fantasy book!
Purple Hibiscus

By Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche

5 stars

A powerful, emotional story about family, faith, and freedom, with beautiful, vivid writing.
The Seven Sisters

By Lucinda Riley

4 stars

Engaging historical fiction with rich settings, heartfelt emotions, and mysterious twists. Easy ready done well.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

By Ken Kesey

5 stars

Reread of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was a trip. The raw power of Kesey’s storytelling still hits hard—chaotic, rebellious, and heartbreaking. A classic that never loses its edge. Tied perfectly with watching Ratchet on Netflix.
When the Moon Hatched

By Sarah A Parker

3 stars

Sarah Parker’s When the Moon Hatched starts with a creative and intriguing premise, blending fantasy and sci-fi. The world-building is imaginative, and the characters are likable, but the pacing drags in the middle, and I’m not the biggest sci-fi fan making it hard to stay engaged. A decent read, but not gripping.
Legacy

By Whiti Hereaka

4 stars

Whiti Hereaka’s Legacy is a moving story about identity and connection. Riki’s journey back to WWI feels raw and real, with rich detail that brings history to life in a sometimes uncomfortable way. Worth reading!
Never Keep

By Caroline Peckam and Susanne Valentia

3 stars

Weirdly thrilling rollercoaster of emotions! The plot twists are unexpected, the characters are raw and gripping, and the dark romance keeps you hooked. A perfect read for fans of edgy, intense storytelling with plenty of drama and angst. Hard to put down!
The Odyssey

By Stephen Fry

5 stars

Stephen Fry’s The Odyssey is a fresh, witty take on the classic tale. Part of a series of re-tellings. Fry’s storytelling makes Odysseus’s adventures exciting and easy to follow, blending humour and modern touches with the epic’s timeless drama. It’s a fun, clever read that brings ancient myths to life in a way anyone can enjoy.
In the Likely Event

By Rebecca Yarros

3 stars

Easy reading romance. I enjoyed her fantasy series, so I thought I would give this one a go. Pretty basic, will they, won't they romance set in war-torn Afghanistan.
Phantasma

By Kaylie Smith

3 stars

I had seen this one being posted around a bit, claims of an excellent dark fantasy romance. However, the writing is not the greatest, and I felt, at times, things were a bit rushed through with no real explanation. Definitely okay if you're just after an easy read and a little bit of escapism.
