“I did not bare myself deliberately, but I tell you, I wish now that I had!... Because it is not me that has been exposed, but you! For I have seen the nipple on your soul!”
The prequel to ‘They Both Die in the End’, told through multiple perspective but mostly follows Orion and Valentino. They are real and deep and you can’t help but become invested in their story. This takes us back to when Death cast is being introduced and the first call is made. #read #books

This wasn’t bad. Mars-Jones sketches a gay Dom/sub relationship with great sensitivity, insight, and originality. The narrator’s family life is also richly described, and the time period (largely 1980s). Despite its brevity the novel covers a lot of ground. I think it was too brief. #read #books

By one of my favourite authors. If you love a popcorn movie, that is entertaining, fun and quite the ride, this is for you. I love Sam Speedman, a detective with a brilliant mind and a different way of seeing things. He sees what others have missed. Highly recommend this. Bring on the sequel #read

A lesbian vampire novel that pre-dates Dracula by 25 years. It follows Laura a secluded lonely girl, who befriends a beautiful woman, who preys exclusively on other attractive young women. You can see just how much this novella inspired Dracula, and the lines that he took from this. #read #novels

Spent the weekend reading this. When a bake-off show is crashed by pro wrestles things turn into chaos. This chaos is further exacerbated due to an infected batch of donuts that turns the wrestlers into zombies. This was a fun read, almost like a popcorn movie. #read #books

My current read. This is a great coming-of-age novel. The way the author captures young infatuation, and in the age of online dating, looking to others to find a sense of worth, attractiveness, was brilliantly captured here. A portrayal of some unhealthy ways we approach attraction. #books #read

Sad tiger by Neige Sinno, incredibly profound memoir about the devastation of one’s childhood at the hands of an adult. Part memoir, part literary criticism and about the power of literature.

Loved thief, brilliant novel. It follows three young people in Tanzania, a coming of age story in post colonial Tanzania.
Little Rot was quite the ride. Set in the underbelly of a Nigerian city. It follows 5 friends as they navigate this world of sex and power. #books

Finished this today. The story follows 3 timelines from Malika’s life, showing how colonialism and poverty changed her. The third part of the book I just absolutely loved. And really at the heart of the book is about acceptance.
