Book Review: The Maid by Nita Prose
The Maid is a heartwarming and sharply observed cosy mystery #novel that feels like a gigantic warm hug and a hot mug of cocoa.

Book Review: Dependency by Tove Ditlevsen

Book Review: King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes
Virginie Despentes’ King Kong Theory is a fierce and foundational text of modern feminism, a Molotov cocktail in #book form. Part #memoir, part #punk #manifesto, it is a raw, unapologetic, and deeply personal exploration of #gender, #power, and #sexuality in our modern world. #books #bookreview #VirginieDespentes #French #feminism

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

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
