Aristotle And Dante
Introduction I was put on to the Aristotle and Dante books by my LGBT+ Book Club at work. I am a slow reader, but I got through the first book very quickly. There were funny bits, sad bits, and maybe it was a bit too close to real life for my taste (I like to get lost in other worlds when I read), but I enjoyed it and wrote about it here:

I’ll treat Half of a Yellow Sun like the others we’ve done
When Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie published Half of a Yellow Sun in 2006, she wasn’t simply writing a war novel. She was restoring memory. She was pulling back the curtain on a forgotten history—the Biafran War (1967–1970)—and asking the world to look again at the scars left on Nigeria, and the people caught in its violence.

When the Sky Stopped Feeling Normal
I’ll be honest: I never used to think about the climate. I grew up in a small town where the seasons were predictable—summer was hot, monsoon came with heavy rain, and winter brought a little chill. That rhythm felt so normal that I didn’t question it. The earth would always be the same, or so I thought.

Book Review: Quicksilver
“I read for the plot. The plot is chaos. I am thriving.” If you’ve spent more than five seconds on BookTok this year, chances are you’ve heard of Quicksilver by Callie Hart. It didn’t just show up — it exploded, glittered, and clawed its way into every romantasy reader’s feed like it had a personal vendetta against emotional stability. And if you’ve read it? Yeah. You know why.

“The Last Library on Earth”
The library had no windows. It breathed dust and silence, its walls rising like cliffs of paper. Each shelf carried the weight of centuries, and yet outside, no one knew it existed. Or maybe, no one cared anymore.

Rachel Reviews: The Lost Color of Namiri by Elisabeth Fowler
Gosh, I did enjoy this book, made all the sweeter because I was sceptical about whether I would. I'm glad I took a chance. Enter the world of Namiri, the dominion of panthers. But this is not a place of harmony. Far from it. Rival tribes seek to annihilate each other, named Obsidians, Alabasters and Pariahs respectively. Purity is valued here and if you're not flawless you are cast out...or worse.
