Everina Maxwell: Ocean's Echo (2022, Little, Brown Book Group Limited)

Gorgeous storytelling

Oh my GOD I loved this book. Gorgeous prose; dynamic characters; great political science fiction. I’ve been looking for something with Expanse vibes since finishing that series, and this fit that bill while also being very much its own thing. Highly recommended.

Jackie Robinson, Alfred Duckett: I Never Had It Made: An Autobiography of Jackie Robinson (1995)

Baseball and beyond

Jackie Robinson’s autobiography is more than just a story about baseball - it is a sometimes searingly candid look at his beliefs, family life, complex relationships in and outside of baseball, and career after he hung up the cleats. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the person behind the legend.

Impactful novel-in-verse

I’ve long been fascinated by the life of Sophie Scholl, a German student executed in 1943 for her anti-Nazi political activities. I found Kip Wilson’s ‘White Rose’ to be a lovely, heartbreaking, stripped-down novel-in-verse that captured Sophie’s passion, intelligence and resolve, and her love of the natural world.
