“Red, White & Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston
Thanks to St Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book doesn’t really need an introduction, it’s one of the most hyped and anticipated contemporary romance books this year.

“How We Disappeared” by Jing-Jing Lee
Thanks to Oneworld Publications and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
What a book. It has been a long while since I felt myself so emotionally affected after reading a book. I started and finished this book almost in one sitting and was utterly gripped by the story.
“The Way of All Flesh” by Ambrose Parry
Thanks to Canongate and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
In my reading experience Canongate tend to be pretty discerning when it comes to whom they publish. Whenever they have an upcoming book release I tend to be on it like white on rice and this book was no exception.
“Don’t Touch My Hair” by Emma Dabiri
Thanks to Penguin Books UK and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
Full disclosure, I am a white woman and I know this book wasn’t written for me. Please excuse any mistakes I may make in my review, I come from a position of almost complete ignorance on this subject.
“Underland” by Robert Macfarlane
Thanks to Penguin Books UK and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
What a wonderful book! Gorgeously written, evocative, enthralling, sumptuous… how many positive adjectives can I use to describe this? Quite simply, this is the kind of book I want to buy for everyone I know.

“The New Silk Roads” by Peter Frankopan
Thanks to Bloomsbury and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
This review is terribly late. In my defence, I was approved for it a good while after publication date. I also own both editions of The Silk Roads (the children’s version is absolutely fabulous) and bought the audiobook too so I hope I’ve made it up to Professor Frankopan.
“A Thousand Ships” by Natalie Haynes
Thanks to Pan Macmillan and NetGalley for the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
Every so often a book appears on NetGalley that makes me slam the Request button with extreme prejudice whilst muttering fervent prayers to the publishing gods. This was one of those books and I was so excited and chuffed when I was approved for it.
