Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker
3.5
Very interesting but a bit alarmist at times. Also assumes people who don't get enough sleep, do so out of choice, not circumstance.
The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
3.25
This is the third McQuiston romance I read, and it's my least favourite. I *loved* One Last Stop and liked Red, White and Royal Blue fine, but didn't think it was exceptionally good. This one was also a perfectly good Romance novel, but contained some tropes I enjoy less (miscommunication is such a frustrating reading experience to me) and ended up a bit too saccharine for my liking. Still a fun reading experience, probably an excellent summer-read and if you like McQuiston's other work, worth giving a try!

If I could give this 6 stars, I would. Everyone who sings this book's praise is absolutely right. It's riveting and beautifully written.
The theme of memory and writing history that is interwoven throughout is so well done.

The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince by Robin Hobb

Great
The narrator gets a bit repetitive though, I think it's intentional but it really started to bug me by the end
