Book Week Q&A with Star Mail reporter Mikayla



How many books have you read this year and how many more are on your list to complete by the end of 2022?

I don’t know the exact count but it would be about 10 so far, plus a few audio books. There’s always a book I want to read but there is definitely three (The Nowhere Child, Wuthering Heights, Speaking in Tongues) I want to finish before the year’s end and any others are just a bonus.

What are you currently reading?

Still Life by Sarah Winman. It’s been an interesting read so far, nothing like I expected when I picked it up in the book shop and read the blurb. I have no idea how it will end but I’m enjoying the journey – especially because its transported me to the beautiful Florence.

Do you agree that you should never judge a book by its cover?

I definitely agree. There is so much more to a book than just its cover, although, I am quite partial to a well designed, pretty cover, they always seem to grab my attention.

Where do you like to read the most?

I mostly read in bed as a way to calm my mind before sleep, although whenever the suns out on weekends I like to find a cosy corner and read until my heart’s content.
