Tigers by Paula Hammond

As the title rightly proclaims, it is a book of stunning photographs. There are enough of them to hold anyone in awe. Every time I see images like this, I wonder how the earliest people who wanted to study them felt the need to drain the life out of its eyes. This is a pretty…

Chasing Lemurs: My Journey Into the Heart of Madagascar by Keriann McGoogan

Book is available on NetGalley till the 31st of May 2020 This was an unexpectedly straightforward read for a non-fiction title. Usually, it takes me a while to plod through even the most simple of stories like these because I am more of a quick fiction reader. Either I am learning to read other types…

The Bullet in the Pawpaw by Kim Hope

I have been lucky to find a lot more non-fiction to read this year than in previous years. I was invited to view this particular book. My review, however, is solely based on my reading experience. This is the story of a woman who was just going through life, who suddenly found a calling and…

Falafel with Hot Sauce by Michel Kichka

I seem to be stumbling on some weighty graphic novels of late. This is no exception. I had not heard of the author before or seen his work. I just noticed it was based in a time and place that I had little to no knowledge of and I set out to rectify that. I…

Everything Is Beautiful, and I’m Not Afraid: A Baopu Collection by Yao Xiao

Most of the ones I follow on social media do have personal incidents influencing their collections, but this one was of a slightly different ilk. I had seen one or two in passing forwards somewhere, that was…

Hidden Places by Sarah Baxter

It is a little hard to review books like this. One prominent reason in my mind is that by highlighting lesser travelled locations aren't we in the danger of losing that place to the rising tide of travellers/visitors? Once I get past that thought and see each individual site mentioned here, I could move on…

An Almost Zero Waste Life by Megean Weldon

This book is available to request on NetGalley till the 9th of March I have to admit I went into this book with a bias. The past couple of years, I have been on the constant lookout for ideas to alter my regular habits to make a difference (environmentally). Since I had time on my…

How I Broke Up with My Colon by Nick Seluk, The Awkward Yeti

This Book is available to request on NetGalley till the 24th of March This collection was not what I expected at all(since I did not pay attention to the tagline)! It is also an infrequent occurrence for that reaction to be followed by actual enjoyment. I follow the Awkward Yeti on Instagram, previously Fb and…
