I’d seen this book all over Bookstagram and a few of my friends had also read and recommended it to me so it was definitely on my “to buy next” list. I was, therefore, delighted when my boyfriend bought me Natives for Christmas! He knew I wanted to read more about the history of raceContinue reading “Natives by Akala – Book Review”

A Life on Our Planet by David Attenborough – Book Review
So what’s it all about and why should you read it if you’ve already watched the documentary?
First Wrap Up of 2021
So for the first time since I started my blog, which was almost a year ago, I actually read all of the books I planned to read in the month! I think this is because I decided what to read before the month started and consciously chose to be realistic about the time I haveContinue reading “First Wrap Up of 2021”
New Year’s Reading Resolutions 2021
So at time of writing I have read 33 books this year, but hoping to make it 34 by the end of the day! Which I think is less than last year, but I didn’t keep count, so I’m not sure.

However, being challenged to include indigenous authors in my TBR encouraged me to consider otherContinue reading “The Bone People by Keri Hulme”
Summer Reads
I’ve been a bit less focused on my reading over the past few months due to moving, so instead of a monthly wrap up I thought I’d post reviews of the few books I’ve finished since June. The Autobiography of Malcom X by Malcolm X with the Assistance of Alex Haley When George Floyd wasContinue reading “Summer Reads”

Accomplished in April – Part 1
Book Total: 8 UPDATE: I have removed my comments regarding Harry Potter following J.K. Rowling’ s transphobic comments as I no longer wish to in anyway endorse her work. So for April I took part in Book Roast’s Magical Readathon. Setting myself a target of 12 books in a month was a bit of aContinue reading “Accomplished in April – Part 1”
Managed in March
Book Total: 2 Better late than never! Here’s my round up of everything I read in March. It was a very odd month for me, as I’m sure it was for everyone else. Adjusting to self-isolating and working from home affected my reading habits just as much as everything else! Brave New World by AldousContinue reading “Managed in March”
