Battles, Quests, and Journeys – Sunday Stack #9

Happy Sunday readers! Today’s Sunday stack prompt was Battles, Quests, and Journeys and I absolutely loved picking books for this stack. I feel like these three things can make or break an adventure novel, and when they are pulled off beautiful it often makes a book my firm favourite. I tried to pick a range

The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta

I will admit that I am very late to the game when it comes to this book. Every review for it that I have read gushed at how fantastic it was and this one will be no different. I know my review will be the echo that bounces off the cave walls after the initial

Bookish Rainbow – Sunday Stack #8

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Today I have another Sunday Stack for you and this week’s prompt was to create a bookish rainbow. I have made mine with LGBT+ representation and also tried to pick mainly writers who are BIPOC. If you are wondering what on earth I am going on about, I hold a

Glass Town by Isabel Greenberg

Ok, confession time … I have never read a Graphic Novel. I know – shame on me – but they have always been something I was interested in, just never quite invested the time to properly look into. During one of my book buying sprees during Lockdown, however, I came across Glass Town by Isabel

Favourite May Reads – #Sundaystack 7

Happy Sunday everyone! As the first Sunday of the month, I thought I would use today’s post to share my wrap up for the month of May, as well as share my favourites reads of the month. Whilst writing this review I did have to take pause for a moment and reflect on how ‘white’

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is a beautiful retelling that struggles with ideas of identity, destiny, relationships, and integrity. It was a heartbreaking tapestry of heroism and bravery, from military prowess to human morality. I absolutely adored this read and happily gave it five stars! Synopsis: Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus,

Books You Can’t Wait to Read – Sunday Stack #6

Happy Sunday my lovelies and welcome to the last Sunday Stack of May. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this little series I’ve started over here and on my bookstagram. It has been absolutely wonderful to see other people taking part as well. Today’s prompt is ‘Books you cannot wait to read’ and, considering Lockdown means that I

The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis

Trigger Warnings: drug abuse; sexual exploitation; abuse (physical; emotional; sexual); violence. I stumbled across The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis when perusing my recommendations on Amazon and it instantly caught my eye. This YA dystopia deals with concepts such a slavery, sexual persecuation, prejudice, exploitation, trauma, and much more. It promised to be

Favourite Genre – Sunday Stack #5

Happy Sunday Lovelies! I hope this week was alright. I have been balancing planning lessons with reading in the sun and I am loving that it is getting lighter in the evenings now. Today I have another Sunday Stack post for you, with this week’s prompt being Favourite Genres. A reminder that this is a

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“But it hasn’t gotten me very far, that type of kindness. The world respects people who think they should be running it.” The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid seems to have taken the world by storm, much like the titular actress did in her fictional world. I picked this read up
