🎧 Everything I Never Told You
- Celeste Ng ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an opener! Not so much a “whodunnit”, more of a “whatwasgoingon”. And there’s a lot going on in this family.

A cracking premise that didn’t really deliver for me. Normally a huge fan of YA, this one might be in the younger end of YA for me (or maybe I’m just getting old 😩)

🎧The Storyteller - Jodi Picoult ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An oldie from Picoult’s back catalogue, here she explores forgiveness - both for others and yourself. Some sections were hard to listen to.

🎧The Sunshine Man - Emma Stonex
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An engaging thriller that’s crafted around childhood trauma and societal issues, and of course the central issue of revenge.

📚The Eyes of Gaza

Jumped straight into this one after book 1. Wasn’t as pulled into this one as book 1, but this one certainly was darker and had a particular moment that really sucked punched me.

💭📚The Naked Light - Bridget Collins ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m a huge fan of her earlier books. They have a sense of magic, wonder & romance that transcends gender.
This appealed, but I struggled to connect with the story & characters.

Hey, did you know, when you order a book from Bert's Books, Bert points get credited to your account.
Which you can then use to get money off your next order!
Why not pop on and order yourself a treat?

🎧📚 Pachinko - Min Jin Lee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As you’d expect with a multi-generational story, this covers a lot of themes and topics - so reader beware before you go into it. This one didn’t really hit me as much as I thought it would.

Ah Molly. What a journey these last 3 and a half books have been. You’ve really worked your way into my heart. And I’m not going to lie, your latest offering really had me tearing up as more of your gran’s backstory is revealed.
