- I read 2 books for my ONTD challenge and 2 sequels.
- For genre: 2 non-fiction, 1 fantasy and 3 historical fiction murder mysteries.
- For age range: All were adult.
- All of the books this month were ebooks.
- 3 of the books were ARCS.
Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race – Reni Eddo-Lodge (5 stars)
This is a must read I feel for everyone living in the UK. Especially, young people. I found out a lot of things about my country that I didn’t know/wasn’t aware of and I also found that this book was able to solidify something I knew to be true myself, especially when it came to intersectional feminism.
Sourcery – Terry Pratchett (2 stars)
A pretty disappointing read this one. I read numerous things about not reading this series in chronological order as he first books aren’t that strong and I am definitely feeling this sentiment. No review for this book as I just didn’t have much to say other than, I didn’t like it.
Murder at the Playhouse – Helena Dixon (4 stars)
This series is starting to solidfy itself as one of my all-time favourites. Everything that I felt uneasy about in the first two books gets amended and changed for the better in this 3rd book. We really get to see Kitty take hold of the case herself. I find myself so enthralled in the over-arching mysteries of the series. I need the next one now!
The Sin Eater – Megan Campisi (3 stars)
This was a solid read. Great concept, great mystery, solid protagonist. Not much else to say other than at times the writing made me quite uncomfortable which drew me out of the story.
Daughters of Night – Laura Shepherd-Robinson (5 stars)
If I could give this book 10 stars I would! Definitely, a book that I felt was out of my comfort zone but I am so happy I read it! This book had me constantly second-guessing and it just took over my whole life. Every moment I got I was reading this. This book was so good I plan on buying a physical copy when it comes out in January!
White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Race – Robin DiAngelo (3 stars)
No review for this one. While I am happy I read it and could inform/educate myself. There was not much else to say about this book.
