YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN FUN AROUND HERE – FRANCES MACKEN

I LOVE Irish novels and Frances Macken's debut novel is a great addition: a wholly uplifting, honest and unpredictable novel

THE END OF HER – SHARI LAPENA

A mega change from The Couple Next Door which I read earlier this year... a big YAY from me, great for thriller seekers where you will be kept guessing until the end!

NINE PERFECT STRANGERS – LIANE MORIARTY

A sadly annoying, disjointed novel from Liane Moriarty - keep your expectations low compared to what I did after the success of Big Little Lites

BURNT SUGAR – AVNI DOSHI

A hard slog of a novel full of implicit meaning and a dark storyline of a spiteful relationship between mother and daughter.

January 18, 2022February 21, 2022by Lizzie BLeave a Comment on I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK – NORA EPHRON
I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK – NORA EPHRON

A witty read by the late Nora Ephron, a successful New York based journalist who reveals her experiences of being a woman which some of us are perhaps a bit too afraid (and ashamed?) to admit. So what if we feel bad about our necks?

KLARA AND THE SUN – KAZUO ISHIGURO

Part literary, part sci-fi, part dystopian - Ishiguro's novel for 2021 explores the meaning of life and what it actually means to be human as told through robot Klara's eyes. Do we really live mundane lives?

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Lizzie and welcome to my blog!

When I have the time, I love to travel, eat chocolate, read books, try, test and review products, write, visit charity shops, eat more chocolate, book some more travel and then read some more… (although not necessarily in that order!)

I hope you enjoy this space I’ve created, feel free to give the posts a like and leave a comment! You can even check out my YouTube, Substack and Instagram!
