Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

In a country on the precipice of war, Nadia and Saaed meet and are intrigued but cautious in their pursuit of each other, but it is not until war breaks out in earnest and death is all around them that the two of them decide life is too short to take things slow. They know they must leave their country, but once gone, they struggle to hold on to where they're from, the people the left behind, each other, and even themselves.

Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher

What begins with Marra performing three impossible tasks ends with her assembling a motley crew - a nun (kind of), a fool, a fox, a godmother, a chicken, another chicken (kind of), and something that used to be a dog - to try to save the sister who doesn't even really like her.

ABOUT ME

I'm a lifelong reader who loves a good series. There's nothing like book after book of characters that you've grown to know, following their journeys through mishaps, heartbreaks, and celebrations. But I came across a problem. When I get excited about a book or author, I will read everything in real time. By the time the next book comes out, I'd forgotten what happened previously. I used to reread all the previous books before reading the new release, but now I'm a proper adult with bills to pay and a family who expects me to pay attention to them as well. I couldn't be the only person with this problem, so I set out to solve it. I review all the books I read, but any series books I read will also include a small summary of the previous books in the series (see them here). Check out all of our book reviews and their accompanying recipes, inspired by something in the book itself.
