I’m not as on top of upcoming releases as I normally am, but I’ve spent a little time Googling and have found a fair few worth noting! July Of these I’m probably most interested in New One and Loveless, but Crossings is intriguing (it’s READ MORE

THE SUNDAY REVIEW | THE INNOCENTS – MICHAEL CRUMMEY
This was the first book I read from my assigned reading for the BookTube Prize. It’s one I’d had on my radar – Crummey is a prominent Canadian author, after all – but that hadn’t grabbed me. I doubt I ever would have gotten to it if it hadn’t been for the prize. It’s READ MORE
BLACK LIVES MATTER | A READING LIST AND SOME DISCUSSION
As you all know, protests are taking place in cities throughout the USA and Canada – and in several other countries around the world. The death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who was murdered by a police officer who knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, was a flashpoint READ MORE

TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT GIVE OFF SUMMER VIBES
I have to admit that summer is not my favourite season. I’m of Scottish and British stock, you see, so I become a rather disgruntled tomato very quickly upon exposure to even the slightest hint of sun, having completely skipped that nice golden, sun-kissed stage. I find heat uncomfortable, even when I live in READ MORE
