Book Review: An Honest Woman by Charlotte Shane
An Honest Woman: A Memoir of Love and Sex Work by Charlotte Shane contains some juicy insights into what it’s like to be a sex worker but lacks a certain emotional honesty and vulnerability to the telling.
Book Review: Bodypedia by Adam Taor
Entertaining, at times odd and eccentric whistlestop tour through the human body’s most bizarre functions. A bit awkward and OTT in its storytelling at times. I found myself wanting more in-depth understanding of these medical wonders rather than silly and witty nuggets of information. #Books #Bookreview #medicine #science #nonfiction
Book Review: Explorers: A New History (A Norton Short) by Matthew Lockwood
Lockwood doesn’t simply deconstruct myths—he rebuilds the story of exploration as a deeply human, often painful, and undeniably fascinating process. The result is an eye-opening meditation on empire, cultural exchange, ambition, and the moral price of curiosity. #BookReview #History #Colonisation #Indigenous #Adventure #NonFiction
Book Review: The History of Magic by Chris Gosden
Chris Gosden’s engaging and vividly colourful storytelling style brings to life the history of all things occult, pagan and witchy from ancient cave art to modern day witchcraft in a way that is deeply engrossing and enjoyable. #witchcraft #mysticism #spirituality #pagan #paganism #history #archaeology #books #bookreview
Book Review: Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings by Joy Harjo
Harjo’s poetry is deeply rooted in her ancestral roots and the intergenerational trauma of colonisation. Her collection is a profound meditation on the lives, struggles, and resilience of all indigenous peoples. #Indigenous #native #literature #books #bookreview #JoyHarjo #Poetry #poems
Book Review: The Isle of Dogs by Daniel Davies
The Isle of Dogs is a strange slippery novel that plunges deep into the sexual underbelly of #Britain. The Isle of Dogs explores sexual encounters between anonymous people in the shadows and margins of a surveillance-heavy society. #Sex #Sexuality #Novel #Book #BookReview #Review #DanielDavies #IsleofDogs

Book Review: Invisible Lines by Maxim Samson
In Invisible Lines, geographer Maxim Samson draws readers into the unseen architecture of our world— curious and yet invisible borders, boundaries, and barriers that we humans take for granted. Yet these places shape our identities, countries, politics, languages, customs and histories. This is an absolutely fascinating deep dive into how lines—both literal and metaphorical—divide, define and disorient us. #MaximSamson #Geography #Politics #History #InvisibleLines #Book #Review #BookReview
Book Review: The Ghost Cat by Alex Howard
The Ghost Cat a curious little novel about a spectral cat haunting an Edinburgh townhouse over several generations — is sometimes enchanting, sometimes discombobulating. #Cats #Fiction #AlexHoward #BookReview #Edinburgh #Fantasy #Books #Book #Review #History
