A detailed look at last week's reading habits: three new books read, three re-reads, one DNF and three new books I want to read that humanize heavily politicized issues (immigration, addiction and abortion). I unpack some of the antiracism books I am currently reading (and working through) as well as an upcoming review of an advanced reader copy.
In a world that prefers to silence rape survivors and ignore how institutions are complicit in the normalization of rape, this book is an excellent resource to address the complexity of rape and why it needs to be talked about.
five new books read, one re-read, three new books I want to read all exploring the variants of love and connection and a detailed look at my upcoming books to read, as well as my upcoming blog posts.
An emotional, character-driven re-telling of Twilight from Edward's perspective, as he comes to terms with loving Bella while struggling to keep control of his monstrous vampire side.
A kickass Heroine takes down zombies while subverting the rising white supremacist political party in this alt-historical fiction of post-Civil War America.
A detailed look at last week’s reading habits: four new books read, all with a rating above 4-stars, three new books I want to read that all centre resilient Black women; I also introduce my Up Next shelf and details the books I'm going to read this week as well as the highly anticipated release of Midnight Sun.
24 books read, two DNFs, seven books read from my Up Next Shelf. I also read books continuing four favourite series of mine, and I finally finished the Throne of Glass series!
The book, recommended by Emma Watson as a must-read, shows the need for intersection feminism as femicide becomes incontrovertible.
I've decided to start doing a weekly, monthly and yearly wrap up/review of my reading habits. I have so many books I want to read that I've purchased and still need to read, books I need to investigate and books I want to review. I also only review two books a week on my blog, which is not indicative of how many books I'm reading during the week.
Hopefully, by doing this weekly and monthly wrap, I'll be able to expose more readers to some excellent books!
1-star • Before doing research, I found the book empowering. However, it's evident the novel is a copy of The Slumflower's debut novel.
Note: This novel is very similar to What a Time to Be Alone: The Slumflower's Guide to Why You Are Already Enough by The Slumflower (Chidera Eggerue) which was published in 2018. Women Don't Owe You Pretty was published in 2020. If Given's book looks like something you want to read, I highly recommend reading What a Time to Be Alone first.
