Take it slow with Beloved, it's not the easiest one to start with! Sula was a better introduction to her style, I'd say ☺️
And thank you so much!! All Etsy finds: TheJoliStudio (holographic ones), ThisPaperbackLifeCo (Cornelia Street), blindgoldrush (Cruel Summer) if you want to pick the same ones up that I have ❤️
I've been quite curious about Bethnal Green and wonder if it also includes neighbourhood descriptions. I used to live there in London and would love to read about a '70s version of it. I can't wait to get my hands on Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan—I absolutely loved the Daughter of the Moon Goddess duology! This past weekend, I found a beautiful second-hand copy of Beloved by Toni Morrison ♡
My favourite book of January was also my first read of the year: And the Stones Cry Out by Clara Dupont-Monod. It's a deeply moving story about sibling dynamics, with one child condemned to remain an eternal baby. It truly pulled at my heartstrings from start to finish!
Wheeeew Michelle nine books in a month is INCREDIBLE!!! Loved reading this, as always. Though I'm trying to follow in your footsteps and not buy any brand new books this year, I will be keeping an eye out for The Priory of the Orange Tree!
I loved reading this Michelle! Bethnal Green is on my TBR for this year and I'm really excited, especially about the Malaysian element. I read Orbital as my last book last year.
I’m currently listening to Immortal and am loving it so far! Glad to hear that you liked it 😊 My wrap-up will be up tomorrow, as I’m still working on writing the life section 😅
It looks like you had a great reading month!
Ooh I’m just about to start Beloved (first Toni Morrison) and I still have to finish the DoTMG series + Immortal 😭
p.s. i love your Cornelia St Kindle sticker so much!
I just want your Kindle 😂😂

What a wonderful idea! The bookshop/cafe looks almost like The Albertine in New York, but I realize it isn't.
I'll add that bookshop to my list ;)
You’ll love it.
I need to read the priory of the orange tree! Everyone says they love it.
You'll love it! Incredibly immersive and well-paced, feminist high fantasy!

Thanks Soph! Can you tell I had no money to go out and do fun things?!
And yesss! If you can snag a library copy or secondhand, it's absolutely worth your time. If anything, I'm annoyed that I didn't get to it sooner!
I loved reading this Michelle! Bethnal Green is on my TBR for this year and I'm really excited, especially about the Malaysian element. I read Orbital as my last book last year.
It was a really sweet read! What did you make of Orbital?
It was! I appreciated the concept of Orbital, but I must admit it’s not my favourite book.
That's how I felt too. Some beautiful writing, but I couldn't get over the lack of plotting and any sort of proper through story.

It's great, isn't it? Gutted I didn't love it as entirely as I wanted to. Can't wait to read your book report ;)
