Review: ‘Normal People’ by Sally Rooney

Recently I posted a question on my Instagram account asking if a plot summary should feature in book reviews. An overwhelming number of people said – yes it should, with some arguing that perhaps it depends on the situation, case by case basis. As I sit here trying to find words to summarise the plot…

Most recent book haul – Aug ’22

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten myself a proper haul of books, but I did acquire a few in the last weeks, if not months actually, that I wanted to go through today. Set in the 1960’s, it tells a story of Elizabeth Zott – a scientist whose career is hindered by inequality. This…

Review: ‘The Girl on the Train’ by Paula Hawkins

I believe it’d be a fair statement to say majority of us, if not all of us, have had this sensation before, this tickling feeling at the back of your head: you’re being watched. Rachel is an unemployed drunk, taking the same train day in and day out to keep up with the old appearances.…

Review: “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield

I didn’t know how to review this book at the time and now months have passed, and I’m none the wiser. I checked out some of its reviews on Goodreads and it seems I am not the only one so utterly confused by this work. Beware of picking it up, I’ll tell you that much…

Review: “Echoes and Empires” by Morgan Rhodes

You’ll want to stay around for the review of this book. This one… this is a good one. What Josslyn Drake knew for sure was that magic is evil — that is, until she became “infected” with it. Now she and the criminal, Jericho Nox, must find a way to remove it. Echoes and Empires is the…
