Finding Me: A Memoir | Viola Davis

Good. A rich and powerful story, full of sadness and joy that made me feel a rollercoaster of emotions . Even though I enjoyed it I felt that her childhood dominated most of the book and her rise to fame was rushed through the last couple of chapters.

Good. Interesting learning about not just the stars lives but also about the history of Scotland. Informative but fun.

Very good. Even though I am not a fan of Agatha Christie and the mystery novel I am a huge fan of Lucy Worsley and she doesn't disappoint, even though this did make it hard to read at times. This book has lead me to find about a well known author that is elusive in many ways as this is only one of a few biographies that has been authorised.

Good. Nice easy story. The hustle and bustle of the fashion world shines through on every page and you feel like you are in the thick of it. The characters feel real and relatable. Thank you #HodderandStoughton for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.

Good. Shows the aftermath of the Cinderella story. Enjoyable but sometimes I felt like the story was drifting so it made it hard to read. Could have done without the side story of the mice as that sidetracked me as well. Full of twists and turns.

Good. Nice romantic story that sends you on a rollercoaster of emotions. It does start of as your typical romance story but once the twist and turns start coming you soon realise that it isn't. Thank you #HodderandStoughton for inviting me via #Netgalley to read this.

Very good. Loved how the author can take you away without leaving your seat with her powerful descriptions of the beautiful island of Croatia. Also the powerful story of Kate and Alex was one of not just them finding each other but themselves, with powerful sentences that make you question your life and your choices as to whether you are making the right ones for your life.

Very good. Lucy Worsley's charm and wit makes this book a wonderful read because her knowledge of the subject is interspersed with little asides that make you laugh. It feels like she is talking to you rather than you reading it. Also it is done through specific dates rather than a full on biography which makes it easier to read.

Good. Shows the effect of grief on a family and how it can affect people in different ways. Also it shows how we go to any lengths to make sure that a dieing person's last wish is granted. This book is also a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you #HodderandStoughton for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley
