Book Rating
Marina Keegan could definitely write! I loved loved loved this book, whatsmore it is a non-fiction. Marina was obviously a well loved member of the Yale community and always took pride and wanted to be the best at everything she did. Her writing is truly amazing and this book contains a few short stories that Marina wrote and they're excellent. My favourite story from the fiction part of the book has to be 'reading out loud'. The stories were all very different and realistic. The non-fiction part was equally as good and I think this is the part in which she excelled. My favourite was 'why we care about whales' I am a sucker for animals, however this story was very thought provoking and makes you think of things that you probably wouldn't have thought about before.

I definitely recommend this book if you want to start out with a non-fiction book.

It's so sad, this young girl had such a promising career and life ahead of her and then taken so quickly.

I can seriously recommend The Return by Hisham Matar and Another Day in the Death of America by Gary Younge. A great mixed bag of non-fiction literature in this year's Orwell Prize longlist.

Finally done moving. TV is set up. Watched Pulp Fiction for the first time in probably 10 years. It has aged well. Plan on spending more time on here once unpacking is finally finished!
