It's wrap-up time... July has passed so here we go:

I consumed 5 books (details in alt). I explored the vivid & intricate world mapped out by Marlon James.
The emotional roller coaster (and frustration) Sabina Khan took me on and the voices, of women, not witches.

Marlon James has taken me on an epic journey in Black Leopard Red Wolf.

My goodness, I want to read the next saga right away, but equally I want to digest what I've just read.

I have to pause reading Black Leapord Red Wolf by Marlon James, in favour of reading book club choice.... Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs.

Conflicted, I'm looking forward to it but I don't want to leave the epic world I'm currently in 😭📚📖

I finally read Steve Cavanagh's Th1rt3en.

Crime/Courtroom thriller, Absorbing. Fast paced, with lots of "oh my".
Not quite edge of the seat for me, but was still a great read.

May is pretty much over and it's been a disappointing month. I traveled into space, visited a village in Japan and was trapped in a made up place.

I can't say I particularly enjoyed any of the books read, no standouts, just a few OKs and mehs.

April was an interesting month for me. The Daevabad world still lives with me, having completed the trilogy and supplement.

I've delved into some messy people's lives 👀 and reflected on the manipulation and ruthlessness within the publishing industry.

March wrap-up #booksky

March saw me delve deep into the world of Daevabad & I'm currently absorbed in the last of the trilogy.

Learn about Julian of Norwich, read a little satire and laugh out loud thanks to a man that just wanted his peace.

#BookSky and thriller lovers.... I avoided the hype long enough to be able to pick up Freida McFadden's 'The Housemaid'... it started of quite samey... but yoooooooooooo!!!

Reading Humar Qureshi's 'Things We Do Not Tell The People We Love'.
This collection of short stories is beautiful, real, shocking and oh my, I'm only 4 stories in but it really does capture the things we do not tell those we love.

#Booksky Magical Realism/ Fantasy/ read Caribbean #book lovers 'This One Sky Day' #popisho by Leone Ross is for you.

On the days I can't sit down and cosy with a book audiobooks come to the rescue.

Today's book was 'Love for Life' by Saman Shad, narrated by Zenia Starr and Adil Jain.

So much hope, joy, smiles, 🤗👌🏽

Completed 2 #audiobooks today.
Stranded wasn't for me, t'was too noisy for want of a better word but it would appeal to those that like the movie"Girls Trip"(which I enjoyed) it's that energy. The Cube however; Visceral! Emotive & thought provoking.
Don't be put off by the opening its wild.

I relish the feeling of starting a new book and reading those opening lines for the first time; that time is here again...

Soniah Kamal's book 'unmarriageable' 💯
Truly didn't want it to end.
A real modern adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. It is whitty and observant. I enjoyed the nuances between cultures, young & mature, wealth, education, tradition.

I read and listened. Audio by Rasheeda Ali, brilliant #Booksky #Books📚
