Sophie Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Sophie

I am *still* reading Tipping The Velvet by Sarah Waters, its take almost all month for me. I'm enjoying it when I am in it, but it seems like it has so much filler...

11. How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. Non-fiction breaking down the composite parts and structures of racism and how to oppose them. I enjoyed this a lot, but I don't think I have read enough on the topic yet to fully be there with this book. 3/5 https://t.co/bVyK4Ahrnp

Sophie

7. The Five by Hallie Rubenhold. I enjoyed this as much as I will ever like a historical non-fiction (history isn't usually my jam.) A book that highlights the sexism of the Jack the Ripper mythology and puts the lives of the victims front and centre. 3/5 https://t.co/BDE8hJLRmw

12. The Wife by Meg Wolitzer A woman overshadowed by the man she made. I know this isn't as well liked as others but I enjoyed this little novella. 4/5 https://t.co/VwqquFREBV

4. Red At The Bone by Jacqueline Woodson. A multi-generational novel which steps inside the life of a family. This book centres around a teenage pregnancy, sharing both its joys and costs. 4/5 https://t.co/uVj7HemLZj

13. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs by Caitlin Doughty. I read this in one late night sitting. I wish I knew some medium sized small humans to give this book to. 3/5 https://t.co/wnrHi1uU3n

6. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong. Absolutely poetry in novel form and just as good as everyone has being telling you. 5/5 https://t.co/nj9QQq0u7G

5. Safe edited by Derek Owusu A collection of essays about being a black British man living in the UK today. I would recommend to readers of Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race and anyone wanting to better understand the picture of race outside of a US lens. 4/5 https://t.co/AsRe8pBWEo

8. The Madness Of Crowds by Douglas Murray. Honestly if I'd read these opinions on twitter I'd think I was being trolled. My annual dip into the right wing... 1/5 https://t.co/92cJv1ub5t https://t.co/OCqs7cVpOL
