Favourites of 2020: Top 18
In order that I read them, here are my favourite books from 2020. At the time I didn’t rate them all 5 stars, but thinking back on last year these are the books that have stuck with me as favourites. In another post I’ll go through my top 5 (or so?) fiction and non-fiction from…
Review – Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh
I absolutely adored My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshegh, so I was really stoked to of gotten the ARC of her new book Death in Her Hands from NetGalley. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it nearly as much as I hoped I would….

Review – The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

Another book I’m not sure how I feel about! It was really interesting to read and kept me super engaged, even though the subject was really dark and the characters ranged from infuriating empathetic and bleak.
