Book reviews from Latte Lindsay and the KappaCino Book Club.
Finding a good book can be hard. Sometimes it’s best to take recommendations from friends or join a book club for inspiration. With this all in mind, I present to you the KappaCino Book Club.
This club is open to anyone who likes to read. Here you will find posts on various books that I have read and you can join in too by leaving a comment.
For every review, there will be links to my affiliates where you can buy the books I have reviewed. These affiliate programmes help to fund the site with every purchase.

If we have discovered anything about kids during the lockdown, it’s that they might be able to occupy themselves for a while when we need to do a Zoom conference with our boss, but 5 months stuck at home can be boring. And while it is tempting to plonk them in front of the TV all day, we would all prefer if they would expand their minds.

Do you know what makes a fiction story great, especially a thriller? The possibility that it might actually happen. The Ocean Dove is the latest book that blurs the lines between fact and fiction to create a story that is completely fictional but could definitely happen.

We of the Forsaken World by Kiran Bhat dives into the world that is slowly falling apart and how it is all connected.
