  • Childish

    By Morris Gleitzman
    3 stars

  • The Elements

    By John Boyne
    5 stars

    Book(s) of the year. Four books that stand alone, but are also linked make up The Elements. John Boyne's writing is so wonderful that situations that are really icky are still something that you can somehow relate to - that sounds dreadful! Tied up wonderfully with the last in the series, Air. Highly recommend.

  • Coyote Lost and Found

    By Dan Gemeinhart
    5 stars

    YA. I just love Coyote and the other characters in this book. So well crafted, I laughed, and cried. Second in a series, I highly recommend them both.

  • James

    By Percival Everett
    3 stars

    The story of Huckleberry Finn told from the perspective of Jim the slave man. I really wanted to love this book and had heard such good things about it, but in the end, despite the excellent writing, it was a meh from me.

  • Last One Out

    By Jane Harper
    4 stars

    A slow burn. A family moving through the grief of losing their son in small town Australia.

  • Somewhere Beyond the Sea

    By TJ Klune
    5 stars

    Second book in this series. One for those of you who love the weirdo kids.

  • The Book of Guilt

    By Catherine Chidgey
    5 stars

    Such an interesting premise. I find it fascinating that every book she writes is so incredibly different.
