A hauntingly tragic tale. Short, fast paced chapters covering two timelines. In one timeline the ordinariness and modern family life that is shattered by revelations of an aging single father. In the other the devastating results of a homophobic time ...more

Midnight Sun by Jo Nesbø

The accidental hitman is back and on the run. Filled with long monologues; what little action there is is brutal. More love story than thriller, but a quick and easy read.

The Baby Dragon Café by Aamna Qureshi

A sweet, cosy romance with dragons. I really enjoyed the story itself but sometimes the prose was very repetitive which was a little off putting. If the repetition was removed it would have been a lot shorter.

I picked this up after watching the TV show Curfew that was based on the book. A powerful story about the dangers of men to women (and children) and how even if strict measures are in place, if they want to hurt us they will. As I saw a man say recen ...more

It was very fitting to be reading this whilst down under on a cruise. A haunting, beautiful tale of women's suffering, family and a dip into the mythological. The split timelines work really well to draw the two separate storyline into one tale. ...more
