I never really planned to read this book, but it’s Black History month and I saw it on the shelf… it felt like the right time. I’m sure most of you know all about this book because it was made into a film a few years ago, but just in case, here’s the basics. READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST STRENGTH
This prompt is like in job interviews when they ask you your biggest flaw and you have to come up with something that sounds legit, but isn’t bad enough that they wouldn’t want to hire you, and if possible, can also be twisted to be a good thing. (I suspect pretty much everyone says READ MORE

TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT TAUGHT ME SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE
I’m not, as those of you who know me will already know, big on romance. I don’t believe in the power of flowers to right a wrong, I’ll eat chocolates if they’re given to me but don’t really get the point of boxes of them that are half the gross fruity ones no one READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WRITTEN BEFORE I WAS BORN
Oh man. Talk about an endless topic! I think I’m going to choose some of my all-time favourites, but really this is only a small selection. . . . . . . . . . There are so many more that I READ MORE
