Yes! So much potential but the execution was lacklustre in my opinion

7. Inheritance - Christopher Paoilini ⭐️⭐️⭐️ took 1 million year to finish but I guess I enjoyed LOTR lite #BookSky

6. ⭐️ This was terrible.

Main character? Dull
Love interest? Creepy
Pacing? Slow as sludge
No character development..

Honestly I am beginning to tire of fantasy stories where the central character competes in trials to win a place of note in a kingdom... ⭐️ #BookSky

5. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was amazing. This non fiction book great pacing and storytelling elements, following two tales: Henriettas life & how her cells changed medicine forever, and the lives of her children. #BookSky📚

4. Two Twisted Crowns - Rachel Gilleg ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2nd in series, the Shepard King duology is solid if you like fantasy (YA vibes)

3. Brooklyn - Colm Tóibín ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kind of can't believe I never read this cover to cover before.
Eilis is kind of a messy bitch.

2. The Dead of Winter- Sarah Clegg ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Slightly batshit, interesting history of the beginning of Christmas customs, ghouls and demons...

1. Circle of Friends: Maeve Binchy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm sorry, the way this DELIGHTED me. It felt like being enveloped in a warm hug. I can feel I'm entering a new decade purely based on how much I enjoyed this...
Such a snapshot of a point in time in Ireland. Character based with just enough plot

Every thought, every interaction, every reflection on this journey I would chronicle on scrap paper, iPhone notes, emails to myself- and slowly, painstakingly, that has turned into a book, TO EXIST AS I AM. 3/5
A picture of me, a white woman with glasses, holding my book TO EXIST AS I AM, a doctors notes on recovery and radical acceptance. The book cover is a picture of me sitting in my wheelchair wearing scrubs, from the shoulders down a quote from y book, 'I want you to understand the nuances of my story, and that there is nuance to disability. Disability is too often oversimplified, sensationalised or glorified, leaving no room for its dynamic nature and the rich variety of experience. I want to frame this book in hope, too, writing from a place of compassion and empathy rather than criticism. I’m writing as someone who has not always done the right thing either, or always known what might be the right thing to – or the right words to say. I want us all to do better.'
