The Paying Guests

I’m not sure where I got this book actually, but I do know that it has been on my shelf for years. And over that time, I have seen reviews for multiple of Waters’ books and it’s generally seemed that people enjoy her writing. But I don’t know, I was just never in the mood…

Soulless

I have really got to start writing down the #bookstagrammers behind the recs. I have read so many books that I’ve only found through random posts and greats suggestions from fellow bookworms on Instagram and I never remember who to thank! Regardless, this is one of those. And I’m sending a thank you to the…

Washington Black

I got this book a few months ago in a Books that Matter subscription box. I had seen it around, but it hadn’t necessarily been towards the top of my list. And honestly, I’m glad I didn’t jump on it and buy it here, because the UK version of the cover is freaking GORGEOUS. Though that’s…

Americanah

After reading two of Adichie’s nonfiction pieces over the past few years, Dear Ijeawele and We Should All Be Feminists, and loving them, I knew that I was going to have to get around to reading some of her fiction sooner rather than later. I asked on bookstagram to see where I should start and…

Queenie

It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed an ARC and actually had everything read and written and out in the world before the publication date. Go me! Though to be honest, that has a lot to do with the fact that I was super duper pumped to be approved for an early copy of this through…

Zadie Smith is one of those authors that I have been meaning to read forever and, for whatever reason, haven’t gotten to yet. She is fairly prolific, I own a couple books by her, and pretty much everything she has written have gotten generally positive reviews. To that end, I think I wasn’t sure where…

Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows

The first thing that caught my eye about this novel was the title…because obviously. Haha. Then, after reading the description and realizing the title is literally what the book is about, I was really just beyond intrigued. Since I first saw it, the book has gotten much more popular, especially after it was chosen by…

Home Fire

This one has been on my TBR for a little while now. I’ve seen great reviews and had it personally recommended, but of course (as things go) it took something else to tip the scale for me. That tip came when it won this year’s Women’s Prize for Fiction. I knew I couldn’t put it…

Confessions of the Fox

The first time I saw this available on NetGalley, I clicked right past it. The blurb sounded intriguing (I do love stories about the “underbelly” of society) but I try to only request from NetGalley when something truly strikes me, so that my TBR there doesn’t get too backed up. However, right after that, I…
