Page Count: 333 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I really enjoyed the view of women throughout history and how they have been misinterpreted by later years of misogyny and I am happy that we now, having the technology and scrutiny of old biases, can put them back into the histories that they played a part in andContinue reading “Femina by Janina Ramirez”

What if we all stopped pretending? by Jonathan Franzen
Page Count: 41 Rating: 4.5/5 REVIEW The author is not a scientist but he is a realist who knows people. He states the point that, though we should absolutely try and stop or at least lessen climate change, in the (large) chance that it will still happen, we need to focus on other things weContinue reading “What if we all stopped pretending? by Jonathan Franzen”
Gender Euphoria, edited by Laura Kate Dale
Page Count: 286 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW A wonderful collection of memoirs about some of the positive aspects of trans lives and queerness which needs to have more of a highlight alongside the struggles that they face. It lets trans people know that there is hope for them and lets non-trans (cis) people know that theyContinue reading “Gender Euphoria, edited by Laura Kate Dale”
A Cold Spell – A human history of ice by Max Leonard
Page Count: 258 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW As a lover of Winter, Ice and the Cold have always fascinated me. It was interesting to read about all the different ways we have used ice throughout the centuries and the different people who ice has influenced to travel, to hike, to experiment, to paint, and to write.Continue reading “A Cold Spell – A human history of ice by Max Leonard”
Diary of an Oxygen Thief by Anonymous
Page Count: 151 Rating: 2/5 REVIEW It was well-written grammar wise but I was expecting it to be dark and messed up from the beginning and build up but it turned out to be pretty boring and mundane and the writing was trying too hard to make it seem like this gothic tale when itContinue reading “Diary of an Oxygen Thief by Anonymous”
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
Page Count: 243 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW It was such a beautiful read and I am glad that I picked it back up after dropping it a while ago. The tale is a depressing one, but it shows how the worst thing that can sometimes happen is absolutely nothing. The trapping and mundane despair of theContinue reading “The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides”
Lost Realms by Thomas Williams
Page Count: 364 Rating: 4.75/5 REVIEW My favourite chapters of this book were of Rheged (which covers where I live) and Fortriu but I enjoyed all of it as I did the author’s other book Viking Britain that I read a while ago. It is hard to write a book where we don’t have muchContinue reading “Lost Realms by Thomas Williams”
Violet bent backwards over the grass by Lana Del Ray
Page Count: 128 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW A non-traditional book of poetry but one that spoke to me nonetheless. I love Lana Del Ray’s music and though her poetry is different, it still held a similar tone and theme that really conveyed a deeper meaning than just the words on their own. It is a trulyContinue reading “Violet bent backwards over the grass by Lana Del Ray”
Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend by Lizzie Huxley-Jones
Page Count: 353 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW A really interesting premise of a story with an autistic main character chosen to hold Excalibur and defeat a bunch of creatures with her friends. I loved this book and all of the Arthurian and Celtic Myth references within the story and the characters with a fascinating storyline andContinue reading “Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend by Lizzie Huxley-Jones”
Dungeon Academy -Tourney of Terror by Madeleine Roux
Page Count: 221 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I really loved this story and the characters that featured within it. I really loved the friendship group and the other characters within the school setting and I loved how the different monsters of DnD were characterised and what their interactions would be. I didn’t realise it was aContinue reading “Dungeon Academy -Tourney of Terror by Madeleine Roux”
