There’s something rather satisfying about settling down with a stack of books that have absolutely nothing in common. One might take you across the galaxy, another into a murder investigation, while the next could involve witches, spies, monsters or something considerably harder to explain. That’s the fun of a varied reading list, really. In this collection of reviews, I’m taking a look at a selection of books and audiobooks from across the genres, picking out the characters, stories, ideas and performances that caught my attention. Some will be old favourites, others new discoveries, but all have given me something worth talking about

I’m a big fan of Audible and, as you’ll probably have noticed from the number of audiobook reviews on this site, I use it regularly myself. I love having such a huge library of audiobooks available whenever I fancy starting something new, and it has become a pretty essential part of my reading routine. If you’re an audiobook fan too, or you’ve never given audiobooks a try, I’d definitely recommend taking a look.
