Book cover of It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover depicting damaged pink lilies.

📖 33 of 2025 (8/10): It End With Us by Colleen Hoover. I now understand its popularity and why it was made into a movie. It explores a difficult topic in a sensitive and realistic way and leaves you wanting the best for all characters, including Ryle.

Book cover of At the Table by Claire Powell showing a girl with her face in a cake

📖 32 of 2025 (9/10): A really enjoyable and original way to tell the story of a family. A typical family where each person is imperfect and relatable. I closed the book wanting to know what they are up to today…

Book cover of Wavewalker by Suzanne Heywood depicting a sailboat.

📖 31 of 2025 (7/10): Wavewalker by Suzanne Heywood. A reason I might not have liked it as much as others is that I had heard an interview with the author about the book and therefore already knew the plot and ending. But nevertheless, a very remarkable and unique childhood trauma story.

Book cover of Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus shoeing a woman in a front of a table with food.

📖 30 of 2025 (10/10): Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Amazing, frustrating, empowering and funny! The world needs more women like Elizabeth Zott to challenge social and cultural norms that just don’t make sense!

Book cover of Maame by Jessica George depicting a Black woman in an orange dress.

📖 29 of 2025 (8/10): At first, Subconscious Maddie was irritating me so much that I had trouble liking the book. But I guess that is a sign of a good author: that writes a character so well that they get under your skin because you just want better for them. A lovely and enjoyable story.

Last chance to tell the NIH if you think animal models are important for biomedical research! 👇👇👇👇

Book cover of Tom Lake by Ann Patchett showing daisies.

📖 28 of 2025 (10/10): Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. It’s amazing how a simple story about people can pull you right in. So many love stories between lovers, friends, family and land come together in this book and are all necessary for the present to be so pure, believable and relatable.

Book cover of The Fraud by Zadie Smith depicting two lions in the top corners.

📖 27 of 20925 (7/10) The Fraud by Zadie Smith. A very original and interesting approach to historical fiction, making it a quite easy and enjoyable read. At times, was not sure about the detours taken but kept going and liked where it ended.
