Review of the books I have read thus far.
I was searching for an author who wrote in a similar style to Agatha Christie (My favourite author. You can find out more about her here), I came across P.D James and decided to get a copy of one of her novels. It was an impulsive buy as I didn't do enough in depth research … Continue reading May 2021 – P.D James
I discovered that most people read Animal Farm already because it was part of the prescribed reading in school. I never read Animal Farm in high school though. We did Lord of the Flies by William Golding instead (another brilliant allegory). So I decided to fill in the gap for myself. I can't go through … Continue reading George Orwell – Animal Farm
This is the review given that was found on Goodreads: Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde’s story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author’s most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray’s moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but … Continue reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
When I began reading this novel I found it so strange that Screwtape references Him (God) as the Enemy. I had to read it a few times over to actually understand who he's talking about, now I just find it funny. And he refers to those humans him or his nephew are trying to turn … Continue reading C.S. Lewis – The Screwtape Letters
So I finished this book in less than 2 weeks, I was so captivated (it's only 218 pages long though, should've finished it sooner. Fact remains that I was enthralled). From the author of Half of Yellow Sun and Americanah come twelve dazzling stories. Adichie turns a penetrating eye on the ties that bind men … Continue reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – The Thing Around Your Neck

"The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon away from life as a San Francisco web-design drone and into the aisles of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, but after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The customers are few, … Continue reading Robin Sloan – Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore
If this book wasn't on the reading list for school, I don't think I would've ever read it - and that would've a tragedy! <p class="has-drop-cap" value="<amp-fit-text layout="fixed-height" min-font-size="6" max-font-size="72" height="80">"The novel follows the life of Okonkwo, an Igbo ("Ibo" in the novel) man and local wrestling champion in the fictional Nigerian clan of Umuofia.

"A gas leak leads to the discovery of two bodies—a mother and her severely disabled teenage daughter—in the third installment in Eva Dolan's gripping series following two detectives from the Hate Crimes Unit. Was the target of the killer the mother or daughter?" Wow, this one blew me away with just how great the writing … Continue reading Eva Dolan – After You Die
The very first James Patterson book I read was one of the "Bookshots" - and I've been a MAJOR fan ever since! I started out with Black & Blue and couldn't put it down. It truly was a story at the speed of life. Seeing as I enjoyed this one so much, I should actually … Continue reading James Patterson – Bookshots
