One of Them by Musa Okwonga

This is such an interesting memoir about a young working class black man’s experience of going to Eton. I’m only a little way into this at the moment but I can’t wait to read more.

This Party’s Dead by Erica Buist

This is a fascinating book about the author confronting her fear of death by going to death festivals around the world to see how other cultures deal with dying. I thought this was such a good read, and one that is filled with hope and peace.

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

I didn’t enjoy this one very much. I borrowed the audiobook from the library and I did listen to the whole book but it wasn’t for me sadly.

Perimenopause Power by Maisie Hill

This was a useful read about perimenopause – some of it wasn’t for me but a lot of it was useful and interesting. This is a book that you can refer back to as it’s easy to navigate the chapters of the ebook to find the information you’re looking for so I will definitely be keeping it for the future.

The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird

This is a novel about a pandemic that is killing men across the world. I enjoyed the premise and seeing how the plague was dealt with. My only gripe is that it was hard to keep track of all the characters but I would still recommend it.

West of Jim Crow by Lynn M. Hudson

This is a fascinating nonfiction book about how the Jim Crow laws affected the lives of black people in California. I found this book eye-opening and horrifying but I learnt so much that I didn’t know. It’s an academic book but it’s very readable and I would recommend it to everyone.

Madam by Phoebe Wynne

All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

These are the next books on my NetGalley shelf so I’m hoping to get to them this week. I’m now reading my NG books in publication order so these books have either been published very recently or are due to be published very soon. I’m writing and scheduling this post on Monday as I’m having my vaccine this week and don’t know how I’ll be afterwards so it might be that I don’t read much this week or that I need to pick up whichever book catches my eye. These are the books I’d like to read next though.
