Women – Charles Bukowski

21.2.2026

I enjoy reading Bukowski, and this was good for the first half, but it became incredibly repetitive by the end.

The Pesthouse – Jim Crace

12.2.2026

A rather flat and forgettable reading experience.

The Nickel Boys – Colson Whitehead

1.2.2026

I was disappointed with this, it somehow began too abruptly and I never really got the chance to connect with the characters.

Mend the Living – Maylis de Kerangal

26.1.2026

An incredible book, one of the best I've read in a long time and one I've already recommended to a lot of people. Every sentence perfectly crafted, but rushing past in the hurry of the humbling, humane story.

Yellowface – Rebecca F. Kuang

19.1.2026

A book club book that was more interesting to discuss than it was to read. It was entertaining enough, and very zeitgeisty, but it was too drawn out and really began to repeat itself in the final third.

Carol – Patricia Highsmith

4.1.2026

This has been on my shelf for a long time, waiting for a winter read. It's very different to anything else I've read of hers, without a thriller formula and with a much more personal writing style.

Her Body and Other Parties – Carmen Maria Machado

12.12.2025

A book club selection. I wasn't into these, they felt like responses to creative writing class prompts.

Orbital – Samantha Harvey

4.12.2025

Best book I've read this year? Very possibly could be, it felt like a balm after Stolen Focus to be floating in space with a small group of critical thinkers.
