#currentlyreading #Glory by #NoVioletBulawayo and I am LOVING it! As it says on the back, "Bulawayo is really out-Orwelling Orwell:" "This is not an animal farm but Jidada with a -da and another -da!" Huge thanks to @FMcMAssociates for my copy. #BookTwitter #amreading https://t.co/jQSwWnNpEv

#NewPost: my #review of #ElenaKnows by @claudiapineiro tr. Frances Riddle - out now from the always brilliant @CharcoPress. The first story I've read with a protagonist suffering with Parkinson's, this novel is intelligent & deeply moving. #bookbloggers https://elspells.home.blog/2021/08/15/review-elena-knows-by-claudia-pineiro-translated-by-frances-riddle-2021/

Today on the @Squadpod3 Advent Calendar is a Christmas read - I'm not a big one for festive reading but earlier this year I discovered #ClaireKeegan's short, powerful, beautiful book #SmallThingsLikeThese - it's set in the run up to Christmas so I think it counts! #BookTwitter https://t.co/z1NDHPEnva

Not been able to start a new book since finishing #DemonCopperhead - I need to sit with the feelings a bit. Incredible novel. https://t.co/qIXlMvlsra

Finished this last night - an incredible book.Reminded me slightly of Jason Webster's nonfiction book Duende, an outsider trying to get inside a powerful, mysterious musical form. Love the journey that @MukomaWaNgugi takes us on alongside his protagonist. #amreading #BookTwitter https://t.co/bvTEvxGVZ2

Finished #LessonsInChemistry by @BonnieGarmus last night. I loved it - Elizabeth Zott was just who I needed to meet right now! One of those books where you know you're going to really miss the characters (especially Six-Thirty!) #BookTwitter #booktwt #bookbloggers #topreads https://t.co/UAzXCsVy2I
