★★★★ Hello bookbees! It’s been a while, I know. Life has been very crazy for me recently (as I’m sure it has for lots of people) and I have got dreadfully behind on both reading and reviewing books. I might do a separate life update post, just because I don’t want to overwhelm this review… Continue reading Death by Shakespeare Review
Here we are again, another monthly roundup! I have literally just written the May 2020 Roundup, so it feels a little strange to be writing June's directly after. However, I'm on a blog post writing roll and have a scheduled post for the first time in a couple of months so I'm just going for… Continue reading June 2020 Roundup

Scorn compiled by Matthew Parris Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you all have a great day, and I would like to point out that reviewing a book of insults has nothing to do with today being Valentine's Day. Lots of love to you and your books! Scorn gave me a great evening of reading, as… Continue reading Scorn Review
Sex Power Money by Sara Pascoe This is an awesome nonfiction book. I didn't know what to expect exactly, but I certainly wasn't disappointed. There was more biology than I thought there was going to be, but thankfully it was much more clearly explained and interesting than biology at school. Pascoe dives into sex and… Continue reading Sex Power Money review
