#IfINeverMetYou by Mhairi McFarlane is a sweet, entertaining rom-com, which kept my company for a few hours in audiobook format.

#RentalPersonWhoDoesNothing is an interesting read in parts, but it’s really just anecdotal stories of a man being rented out to do some pretty boring things.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
My first McFadden novel, this is fast paced and entertaining but not all that realistic.

It's my stop on the #blogtour for "Salt & Honey" by Candi Miller. Big thanks to @rararesources for the invite!
A thought-provoking read set during apartheid in South Africa. The story is immersive, beautifully detailed and narrated.

#Headshot shines a light on the world of women’s boxing which I think is a great thing! Following 8 young girls throughout a tournament, this is an interesting read

☕ Book Review ☕
Book: The Pumpkin Spice Café
Author: Laurie Gilmore
Rating: ⭐⭐/5
#ThePumpkinSpiceCafé is a contemporary romance & I have to say, it was a little less comfy & cosy than I was expecting based on the cover & title...🙈

📖 Book Review 📖
Book: Back Trouble
Author: Clare Chambers
About to turn 40, Philip's business has failed, he’s newly single & at an all time low. It sounds a little gloomy & to be honest, it is at times, but it’s also an enjoyable read.

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
I loved #NormalPeople & #ConversationswithFriends but didn’t get on with #BeautifulWorldWhereAreYou so was unsure going into this. I needn’t have worried, because omg, I loved it!

The Light We Carry
Michelle Obama
⭐⭐⭐/3
“The Light We Carry” is less about Michelle’s life and more of a book of helpful pieces of information mixed in with some examples.

Claudia Winkleman
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Claudia's first book, published in October of 2020, so I assume a pandemic piece. Not really a biography, this is more of a story of life, snippets of advice and opinions.
