Good. Explores how some people believe that they are the superior race by deliving into the history of race science and how it is presented today. I listened to the audiobook version of this.

Read this for the third time this week and on this reading I have noticed more about how Darcy felt towards Elizabeth and also gained an appreciation for Mr Bennett. As he just wants to read or be in his library and be left alone. I know he helps when everything with Lydia and Wickham kicks off.

Good. Interesting characters and concept, a real page turner. An atmospheric book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Even though you think you have worked it out, the author twists the story so it that when the revelation comes you will never have seen it coming. Thank you #Penquin for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.

Very good. Even though this is part of The Days of the Week series it can be read as a stand alone, even though there are characters from the first book in it. A real page turner as I just couldn't put it down as I wanted to know how Flora's journey came to a conclusion. Loved how the title is a pun as it is also about the maiden voyage of The Titanic

Good. Even though at times the writing was awful and the characters got on my nerves, it deals with some serious issues and at the end is a charming little story. Not one of her best.

Very good. Interesting characters and concept. A real page turner and a atmospheric book. Shows how different cultures operate and what we can learn from them. Also shows how family is important and the way they guide us.

Just completed my GoodReads challenge with the tagged book.

As it's my 25 book on my #lockdownlist I can see why I completed a few months early as I tend to finished about June/July normally.

Good. Love how this author can make you feel connected to the characters. I also like how she connects not just the main characters to the series but the other characters you know from the other books to this book. You definitely need to have read the ebook Midnight at Tiffany's as the main characters from that feature heavily in this book as supporting characters. (It starts the series so you won't miss it)

Oligarchy | Scarlett Thomas

Good. Shows the effect of social media and peer pressure on teenage girls to be thin. Even though this story has a powerful message to portray it lacks plot and structure. This is not the Scarlett Thomas I know and love as her other stories such a The End of Mr Y and Pop Co were so rich in story and detail that were well researched that this book lets her down.

jhod I read this recently, it hasn't really stayed with me... I've not ready any of her others so maybe I should take a look... 4y
Birdsong28 @jhod Glad I am not the only one not to like it. Pop Co and The End of Mr Y are so clever and deep and so well written that you should definitely check them out 4y
Birdsong28 @jhod The covers are so deceiving to the wonderful story underneath. 4y
