Hello and welcome to my October wrap up! It’s been another weird month, full of ups and downs in terms of workload and my mental health. I think that’s reflected in my wrap-up. I read a tonne of books via audio and reached for thinner books since my attention span couldn’t deal with the chunkier…
Hello, and welcome to my September wrap up! I am genuinely concerned to be writing those words. How is it time for a September wrap up already?! I swear it was May like two weeks ago. Anyway. Time is just a construct. Let’s take a look at the books I read this month. I’m happy…

It felt wonderful to escape into fantasy worlds…

March Wrap Up Overview Welcome to my March wrap up! I read a lot in March (I say that every month), and I was pleased with the quality overall. I was kindly gifted the entire Booker International longlist to read and review. This is without a doubt one of the coolest bookstagram perks I’ve ever…
