Welcome to June...

It's pride month people! A solid reminder to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community s here and we are not going anywhere. We have our rights under threat all the time, especially trans and non-binary people. But hey, the fight continues and I hope one day things will improve. For this month I will be continuing the LGBTQIA+ theme alongside a new author for author of the month. For June, the author of the month is going to be Welsh lesbian author Sarah Waters. I shall be looking forwards to reading some of her stuff throughout this month. So as summer arrives and pride month provides a constant reminder to our battles and history, celebrate with a good LGBTQIA+ book. Until next time, Thomas (they/them).

Poetry collection review: May Day (2024) by Jackie Kay.

Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting on Monday but I was not feeling great. I think it is this heat here in the U.K as the weather has been rather hot lately. I am never fan of the weather being as hot as it has been. Todays post is the final review of the month that I had planned and therefore the post I had planned for Monday will moved to June as the theme of the month will continue of course for a second month. Speaking of review, I am diving deep into the 2024 poetry collection May Day  by Jackie Kay.

Non-fiction book review: Bi by Julia Shaw.

  For today's post I am reviewing  Bi  by Julia Shaw. This was actually a good book to read. It explored everything about bisexuality. What I loved especially was how she started with the origins of bisexuality and who created different ideas which have shaped how bisexuality exists within our current, modern-day society.

Bookshop visit 17: Coach house Café second hand bookshop, Sheffield Park and Garden, Sheffield Park, East Sussex.

It is that time of the month where I have another bookshop that I have visited. For this month, I took a trip to the National Trust place Sheffield Park and Garden in East Sussex. There they have a second hand bookshop situated within the coach house café. One thing particularly like is how you can grab a book, a hot drink, maybe even a bite to eat and sit down on a sofa or at a table and chairs. You immerse yourself deep in a good book right where the books are and I love it!  When I was there I found myself sipping a hot chocolate as I browsed an Italian cooking book. I decided not to have the book because I have quite a few cook book anyway. When you actually want to buy a book you have to either put money in the donation pot or head to the reception desk to complete your purchase. The staff there in the Coach House café, at the reception desk and across the whole National Trust site are extremely friendly. It is good when you go somewhere and the staff are kind because they the...
