A slow but surprisingly satisfying reading month, May’s round up reflects dips in motivation, a return to joy, and a handful of standout reads. From emotional rollercoasters to unexpected favourites, here’s a look at what I read, what worked, and why even a quieter month can still feel like a win.
I managed to get through six books on my TBR, with eight still left to go. I’m also removing a book from my TBR — something I’ve never done before, but we move.
After a pretty successful April in terms of tackling my TBR, I’m heading into May with four books I genuinely cannot wait to read. Read this post to find out what they are!
In this round up I take you through my April Reading. A pretty successful month on all accounts – getting through my TBR, enjoying some strong reads and stories that produced strong emotions out of me. We’re still in a weird reading place, but hopefully it will be over soon.
This TBR update is part optimism, part avoidance, and fully aware of the chaos that is my TBR. Between trusted recommendations, impulsive discoveries, and books I’m slightly afraid to read, I’m hoping this list brings stories that finally hit—because the joy of reading is always worth chasing.
This round up shows that March reading was a mixed bag. A few TBR wins, but mostly underwhelming, disappointing book club picks, and a reminder of why I left certain authors behind. The bright spots? They were bright. But overall? A month to shake off and move on from.
We enter Women’s History Month with 5 New TBR additions by women about women. This month is all about celebrating women led stories and experiencing womanhood in all facets of life across cultures ages and creeds. I’m very excited about these new reads!
My biggest reading month in over a year. This round up covers five-star triumphs, frustrating Booker longlist picks, dramatic Black romances, and a thriller that nearly sent me over the edge. From devastating literary fiction to soap-opera chaos, this was a wildly mixed — but undeniably memorable — month of reading.
This month’s TBR has grown rather than shrunk, with ten new additions that I mostly discovered by accident. It’s a slightly chaotic mix, driven more by curiosity than intention. I am still excited for all these reads and I’m hoping for a more successful TBR run through next month.
Welcome to the first round up of the year! January was a month of surprise favourites to absolute chaos reads, it’s been a mixed month with zero 5‑star hits. Here’s my honest round‑up of the 15 books I tackled, the good, the confusing, and the downright unhinged!
I’m heading to Nigeria this week so to celebrate I’m recommending Nigerian Romance Books. This list highlights engaging reads rooted in culture, language, and everyday life. Stories of ordinary Nigerian women, written to entertain, comfort, and resonate – perfect companions for moments when you want connection.
