Fiction
my favourite fictions books, with a variety of settings and plots. From dystopian to fantasy to political allegory, you are sure to find something that suits your taste
one of the best books I have ever read, a story about the 2nd World War, narrated by Death himself adding a unique twist.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Paperback
I love this brilliantly written series about a crime solving duo, with a slow burn spanning over many books and a will-they-won't-they dynamic. The mysteries are complex but easy to follow, and the characters are flawed and human.
The Cormoran Strike Books In Order
Fantasy book for young adults, very hard to put down, love the dynamic of found family between the main trio.
Lockwood & Co by Jonathan Stroud
a hard-hitting satirical allegory about the Russian revolution and rise of Stalin depicted through a farm of animals.
Animal Farm by George Orwell
a mind-bending story with lots of twists, action packed and will leave you wanting to read more.
Simultaneous by Eric Heisserer
A historical mystery book with a romantic subplot, a strong female lead who defies stereotypes.
Veronica Speedwell Series by Deanna Raybourn
Heartbreaking novel creating questions about the ethical side of science.
Flowers For Algernon: The must-read literary science fiction masterpiece
Great young adult book that creates a strong sense of empathy in the reader as the main character Auggie faces challenges in middle school as a result of his condition which he believes makes him ‘ugly’.
Wonder by R J Palacio
A classic dystopian triology where the population is divided into factions based on personality characteristics.
Divergent Series
A classic must read, my favourite book series ever, timeless. 10/10

action-packed series, a dystopian science fiction novel, with plots twists and betrayal, a book perfect for any age.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
beautifully written story that depicts a young girl's coming of age, the passage of time.
Anne Of Green Gables Series | Books |
A perfect introduction to the classics, I loved Jane's character and the romance with Mr Rochester, which organically develops throughout the book.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Memoir/Autobiography
I love memoirs/autobiographies to learn about the lives of others, somehow the story being experienced by a real person makes the experience all the more tangible and emotional, evoking lots of empathy in the reader.
This book made me cry, a memoir from a survivor of Auschwitz who is still alive today.
The Choice by Edith Eger
A thought-provoking memoir about an Irish Catholic family growing up through severe poverty
Angela's Ashes (Frank McCourt, #1)
another memoir depicting a story of a survivalist Mormon family, very captivating read.
Educated by Tara Westover
