Seeing as I’ve been pretty terrible at keeping up to date with monthly wrap ups I thought I’d give myself a challenge to write shorter but more frequent updates in the form of a diary, which will include what I’ve read, what I’ve been to see at the theatre and anything else significant that I… Continue reading Diary #1 – Flying to Guernsey in Search of a Tailor
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 race… Continue reading Natives by Akala – Book Review

However, being challenged to include indigenous authors in my TBR encouraged me to consider other… Continue reading The Bone People by Keri Hulme

The Autobiography of Malcom X by Malcolm X with the Assistance of Alex Haley When George Floyd was… Continue reading Summer Reads

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 a… Continue reading Accomplished in April – Part 1
