Satoshi Yagisawa
Short, easy read. Super comforting and lovely sentiments around healing, forgiveness and family.
Four Thousand Weeks Time Management for Mortals★ 8.0
Oliver Burkeman
Nice perspective, especially when things can feel a bit much. One to pick up again in the future when needed
Lost Lambs★ 8.0
Madeline Cash
Quirky writing style, loved that it jumped around the different narratives, kept me wanting to read. Fun weird characters

Babel

★ 7.5

R. F. Kuang

Loved loved loved the setting and the magical elements but I didn’t really connect with the characters enough to care what happened to them.

So Thrilled for You★ 8.5

Holly Bourne

Feels like mandatory reading for women between 25-35. A deep dive into British female friendships, motherhood and being a woman. Also birth control in book form

Thirst Trap★ 7.5

Gráinne O'Hare

I saw someone else describe this as an “affectionate slap in the face” and I think that summarises it pretty well. I’m a sucker for a book on female friendships and as I myself approach my 30th birthday this year, it came at a good time.

Why We Eat (Too Much)★ 6.5

Andrew Jenkinson

A good breakdown of how our bodies work, backed with interesting, easy to swallow science and reflection on the effects of modern diets in general, however there was a weird thread of general fatphobia and severe lack of acknowledgement of the impact of food poverty and the need for many people to rely on cheap, processed foods.
