an advertisement for the days of annna madrigal on a computer screen
7.5/10. Interesting descriptions of burning man in all it's hedonistic glory. June.
an old book with the title hollow way written in black and white on it's cover
7/10. Spooky! Didn't rate it higher because I wanted it to be longer! I love RMac's writing. Beautifully descriptive and accessible. Gives an amazing sense of place. Jan.
a book sitting on top of a fluffy white pillow next to a pile of clothes
7.5/10 - sage and useful advice. Probably should read it again, and again, and again.
an open book with the title'the position'on it, in black and white
7/10. Started well, but again I got a bit bored with the characters and didn't care too much about them. August
a person holding up a book about the goldfinch by donna tart in their hand
9/10. Totally engrossing from the outset. I was enthralled all the way through. Dec.
a person holding up a book about the cuckoo's calling
8/10 enjoyable. Owed A LOT to kate Atkinson, I kept thinking it should be set in Edinburgh. Nov.
the book cover for vintage, with an image of a red object in the background
7/10 started well but then I got a bit bored. Characters seemed a bit two dimensional in the end. August.
there are two sides to every story, and the title is gone girl by julia lynn
7.5/10 great page turner, I was convinced by each character in turn until it got a bit ridiculous. July
a blue book with the title men explain things to me written in white on it
7/10. First essay was great, full of lots of 'Yes, Yes, yes I hate it when that happens' moments! Others a bit too polemical for my liking. I enjoyed the photos. October.
a book cover with the words how to build a girl on it and a pair of shoes
4/10 disappointing. Her non fiction is much better, I couldn't help thinking this was too autobiographical. August
there is a book cover for mad about the boy by helen fielding and bridget jones
5/10 predictable, but enjoyable enough. TDA
the book cover for la biblia envenenada by barbara kingsolver
8/10 beautiful descriptions of tropical africa. Makes me grateful how lucky we were! August
the cover of wild from lost to found on the pacific crest trail by cherry stray

the places in between book cover with an arch and snow - capped mountains behind it
7.5/10 much better written than I expected. Iceland July.
