Hiya everyone... Long time, no see! I honestly do not know where this month has gone. It's nearly the end of July already and I've barely had time to notice it go by. However, I have now left my job and have the next 6 ish weeks to prepare for university. I have a biggg list of books to read and a chance to enjoy time with my family. With plenty of time for blogging thrown in too!  I am a huge classics fan and from the reading list I've already received for the first term of my degree, university is going to fuel my passion even more. There are some great books on my shelf to read before September, including The Great Gatsby and Dracula!!  With that being said. Here is my  Classics TBR... 📚 David Copperfield - Charles Dickens 📚 This is Dickens' most famous bildungsroman novel and has some of his better known characters including Uriah Heep and Betsey Trotwood. The novel is all about coming of age and the journey through Copperfield's dramatic life.  This novel is

Hello everyone.  🖤 My plan for June and every month going forward is to use my blog and my social media following to write and share posts about the Black Lives Matter movement and to use my passion for books to promote Black authors and educational books about racism and BLM.  I am willing to admit that I have read very little non-fiction about racism in the UK or US, police brutality or anti-racism, but I plan to buy and read as many as I can from now on. All of the books that are going to feature in this post are books that have been recommended to me buy fellow bloggers or that I have seen on Twitter and Instagram posts and decided to research. Therefore I have not read any yet - this is in effect  MY ANTI-RACISM TBR!!! It's quite long but there's so many amazing books that I have found that I want to share.  .................... #1  'SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE' - IJEOMA OLUO This book addresses the topics of white privilege, police brutality, racist language a
