#mentalhealthmonday – f**k depression review

Another Monday, another mental health post! Today I'm reviewing a book that I got on Kindle Unlimited - Hardcore Self-Help: F**k Depression by Robert Duff. I'm not usually a self-help book kind of person. I often find that they oversimplify complicated problems and are written by dubious experts in their fields. However, I absolutely LOVED …

the red beach hut review

I was kindly provided with a copy of Lynn Mitchell's The Red Beach Hut by the publisher, Linen Press. This has not affected my review in any way. "Their eyes met and locked. Pulling his hand from his pocket, Neville waved. Once." Eight year old Neville is the first to notice that the red beach …

#mentalhealthmonday – a brief update

Hello all! I'm writing this from my parents' lovely home in the English countryside. It's a bank holiday today in the UK, so I decided to travel down and escape the hustle and bustle of my daily life - for a couple of days, anyway. And I get to cuddle my dog, so that's always …

Here's my contenders for some of the other squares, all of which I have already: Non-Western Cultural Fantasy: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh Refugee MC: The Good Immigrant edited by Nikesh Shukla …

diverse december: neurodiversity

This was one of the spaces I was most interested to get to in the Diversity December Bingo. I haven't read a lot of books about neurodiverse characters, and I thought it was time to change that with Kathryn Erskine's Mockingbird. The main reason why I chose this book is because the main character is …

diverse december bingo

I've posted a little bit about this, I think, but here is my official Diverse December Bingo TBR! I chose this row because I liked how open it was - own voices and diverse non-fiction could be pretty much anything! However, it also encourages me to read more SFF, which I've been really enjoying recently. …
