4.16 Why I Stopped Rating Books

Listen Later

At the start of 2021, I stopped giving books a star rating. Why? Listen to find out!

Our May book club pick is The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark. This 1961 modern classic novella is about the eccentric teacher, Miss Jean Brodie, and the six pupils she takes under her wing. I’ll be discussing this on Sunday the 30th of May, so I hope you read along with me!
