Full Tilt

by Emma Scott | Buy this book

From the very beginning, the story takes an eloquently beautiful look on life, and in particular, death. It is gut-wrenchingly sad, and made me cry heavily. 10/10 my favourite book.

If We Were Villains

by M.L. Rio | Buy this book

To me everything is great about this book. I love how the story unfolds, rarely being told in the present and mostly done through flashback. None of the characters I feel were overly likeable but the writing enabled me to still feel empathy for them. I liked the mix of coming of age, mystery and dark academia in one of my favourite book settings: a boarding school!

Brums Book Babes

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

by Andrew Joseph White | Buy this book

A.J. White manages to capture aspects of the trans and autistic experiences so beautifully. Even thought the characters go through horrific things, the book still manages to be hopeful.

I'd like to find a local book club to have a good old chat and delve deep into the latest read. I love all sorts of genres, mystery, thriller, horror, contemporary, fantasy, some romance.

Lessons in chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus | Buy this book

Was late to the party with this one and therefore a bit nervous it wouldn't live up to the hype but I loved it. Turns out I love a book where the central character thinks a bit differently to the norm - give me Eleanor Oliphant, Ove, Molly the maid and of course Elizabeth Zott!
