Libby Audiobook: You Can't Take It With You, Messie Condo

 

I know I need to declutter. So this was a bit of motivation and procrastination to get there. 

It's ok. Narrator a bit condescending. Nothing really new, but good reminder to get decluttering.

3/5

Libby Audiobook: May all Your Skies Be Blue, Fiona Scarlett

 

Beautiful, but so sad.

The story of four Irish friends. Each chapter alternates between their younger years and now.

5/5

Kindle Audiobook: A River in Darkness, Masaji Ishikawa

So interesting to learn more about North Korea / Japan / China relationships.

Hectic memoir of Masaji Ishikawa. He and his family relocated from Japan to North Korea under false pretences in the 50/60's. The struggles that they went through is horrendous. Very sad.

4/5

Books Libby Audiobook: Idol, Louise O'Neill

 

Meh. Absolute load of nonsense. Found the main character incredibly grating.

2/5

Libby: Ikarus, Deon Meyer

 

Part of the Bennie Grissel series. In this one, Bennie falls off the wagon :/

It is also about wine farmers and illegal bottling in Stellenbosch and, an app that helps create alibis for people who cheat.

4/5

Libby Audiobook: Number Thirty Two, Cassie Steward

 

Ah, so beautifully written. 

Family dramas. 

4.8/5

Kindle: Lion Women of Tehran, Marjan Kamali

Quite a sad book. We meet Elaheh and Homa who become close friends from a young age and their journey through life. Interesting to learn more about Iran and its history.
