Review - Mother Tongue, by Jenni Nuttall: I'm rather sceptical about this one, in hindsight, especially seeing how few sources she uses per chapter. I ended up rating it 2/5 ("it was ok"), for some interesting titbits.

Review - The Wheel Spins, by Ethel Lina White: I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this novel, since the short stories I've read felt a bit over-dramatic. But it did actually work out for me, though it wasn't comfortable reading (such gaslighting). Rating: 4/5 stars ("really liked it").

Review - An Immense World, by Ed Yong: this was the kind of book where I learned new-to-me things and immediately wanted to tell people all about them. It delves into the world of how animals sense the world around them, and is full of fascinating info. Rating: 5/5 stars ("it was amazing!").

My review of The Space Between Us by Doug Johnstone
Straightforward road trip with a friendly alien
@cbdawson
I rolled my own 20 years ago, and have kept it going. https://rdmp.org/dale-mellor/bookblog. DM me if you might be interested in using the same system.
HEARTSTOPPING MICHIGAN GOTHIC builds on the loneliness of shattered families, the protective anxieties of pregnancy, and the harsh realities of the deep woods. Stunningly fresh and decidedly modern take on a classic genre. A MINUS

Witch King by Martha Wells was a meaty fantasy with complex world building and layered characters I could really sink my teeth into.

Review - The Corset & The Jellyfish, by Nick Bantock: a book of microfiction I received to review, illustrated as well and teasing a mystery. I didn't work out any kind of mystery, but I found the reading process enjoyable -- and it made me itch to write my own microfiction again, which always says something positive (to me at least)!

LOVELY, UNIQUELY VOICED novel tells the story of Victor, a teenage emigré from China whose diagnosis of Hansen’s Disease (then known as leprosy) sends him to a government sanitarium in Louisiana. Beautiful writing, unforgettable characters. A MINUS

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Awesomely Austen)
by Katherine Woodfine, Jane Austen, Églantine Ceulemans
Needless to say, a book that stood the test of time. Still very relevant. Filled with hope and romance.
Given that a dear one of mine is very similar to Darcy I found this a very enjoyable read.
