Book Review: Talking To Strangers
I know I am late to the Malcom Gladwell fan club, but I am here anyways, might have taken me a while 😅. Needless to say, after picking up this book- I couldn’t put it down! To say it was eye opening and in some ways provided many many aha moments. So, this week on […]

Book Review: Yellow Wife
Instagram really got me good on this one, after constantly seeing this book on my feed at the back end of 2021, beginning of 2022 I thought why not give it a try. Must be gathering traction for a good reason, and if I’m being honest in some ways it disappointed. This week on the […]

Book Review: The Kite Runner
I’m going to say it before you do- what rock have I been hiding underneath that I haven’t read this book much sooner than now. But, here we are and I have finally taken the plunge and bought the book (R2 read this book in High School, so imagine how behind I feel). I have […]

Book Review: Felix Ever After
Our 1st book review of the year and it’s a very different genre that we’ve explored this time around.

Diverse Books For Kids
Books, books, books! So many to choose from and so little time! Or at least that’s my issue with adult books, which seems to have transferred onto my daughter! Over the past few years and especially with the influx of more and more Black voices being given the platform and their over due space, many […]

Book Review: Saga Boy
When I first came across this book, solely based on the tile alone, I knew I needed to read it, because despite my deep love for books, I do still choose them based of my visceral reaction. Otherwise known as choosing them based on their covers and this one stood out for many reasons. Being […]

Book Review: The Poet X
I’ll jump right to it, this is a YA book, so before you roast me on that, I want to fully say some of the most impactful books I’ve read in the last 5 years, have been classed as YA (The Hate You Give / On The Come Up ). All I have to say […]
