Top 5 Wednesday: Favourite Buzz Words

It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five favourite buzz words. To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the goodreads group and discover the creator of the group Lainey. So let’s get started…

Number 5: Strong female character

I love reading books about female characters not just strong female ones as I do not really connect with male characters that much but obviously this is not the only thing that attracts me to a book.

Number 4: Diversity

I really enjoy having diverse books so any buzz words to do with diversity like a POC would definitely make me want to read the book. This is because it is sometime that we definitely need more of.

Number 3: Mental Health

I really enjoy reading books with a theme around mental health as it is good to read about these things and to understand them.

Number 2: LGBT+

I also really enjoying learning about LGBT+ and I find that books with this buzz word often end up on my TBR.

Number 1: Now a major motion picture

This one is probably that makes me want to read it the most because it means I need to read the book before I have seen the movie.

What are your favourite buzz words? Leave them in the comments below.

See you soon,

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over. The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

* I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK | Hive | Goodreads | Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes.
