A funny friendship tale about making the best of a bad situation. How will making mac ‘n’ cheese from anything help save the world?
Wonderfully written and deeply disturbing. The characters were lovely, which made it hit so much harder when awful things happened to them.
Don’t mistake a slow-burn romance for a slow book; this title is fast-paced and plot-heavy from page one, every new secret creating drama.
Delightfully fun and campy! Throw in some chases and supernatural hunting agencies and you have 2000’s urban fantasy at its finest!
This collection is the life’s work of a true twentieth-century great. I hope this book leaves on you the indelible mark it left on me.
This is a mewling and meandering story of self-actualisation from the perspective of someone desperate to avoid reckoning with themself.
This novel glides on Wilson’s playful prose, perfectly chosen details, and quirky characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
Entertaining and informative. Read this if you want to brush up on your financial literacy & get into investing.
Jones’s lyrical, sensuous writing skillfully evokes the fierce bond between young women whose strengths and vulnerabilities leap off the page.
This underdog story explores the value of deep friendship and connection – and the fine line that can see these tip over into obsession.
An adorable & bookish enemies-to-lovers between two writing students. Read this if you enjoy academic rivalries and the grumpy/sunshine trope.
In less competent hands, this mash-up of genres and ideas could get unwieldy fast, but Spufford juggles all the elements with style.
Gorgeously illustrated, this whimsical tale has a good amount of absurdity and silliness (with just a liiiiiittle bit of deep pondering).
This laugh out loud graphic novel is great for anyone who loves silly friendship tales with adventure along the way.
This whodunit doubles as a satire on the publishing industry and is unflinching in its honest portrayal of what being a writer is really like.
This is the first instalment in one of the 21st century’s rare and true classics, and a divinely sumptuous read for days warm and cold.
This book reveals a lot to the ignorant reader (me) about how trials are conducted and what it really means to be “following a case.”
The neon colours & cartoony silhouettes create adrenaline-pumping fight scenes while maintaining a strong melancholy as Damian wanders alone.
The plot kept me turning pages at top speed. Read if you enjoy immersive fantasy worlds, gothic settings and dark family secrets.
Wilson creates an experience I can only describe as a mix of anthropology class and sitting with someone as they sift through a memory box.
