Orbital – Book Review

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Life on our planet as you’ve never seen it before.” It’s time to start my 12 in 2025 reads! 🥳 Because January is such a busy reading month for me, I opted for the shortest book first in the list, which just so happened to be Orbital, the winner of the Booker Prize…

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “People used to live on a planet called Earth that was so close to a star – to the sun – that the light from it could cause first-degree burns if you weren’t careful. Hard to imagine that.” I haven’t read sci-fi for a while so this one was a very welcome…

Cycles Of The Phoenix – Book Review

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “When the imminent battle commences, you may wonder which side will attain victory, the heroes or the opposition?” This book was not what I thought it would be, at all!
