A Good Girl's Guide To Murder. Content Warning.
They sat there, watching as I chose yet another book that wasn't them. For three months, they waited patiently for their chance to be in my reading spotlight. To be savored, or more accurately devoured like a juicy burger. But for what now feels like excuses rather than legitimate reasons, I passed them by. It didn't matter how many times I heard my younger sibling talk about them or how multiple bookworms sang their praises for the series. Until one sunny Sunday, my hands, or more my finger, clicked on A Good Girl's Guide To Murder, the first of the series baring it's name.

“Book of The Month” Review
I was so excited to come across this subscription box dedicated to books! I discovered it three months ago while doom scrolling on Instagram. Of course, with myself being an avid online shopper, and in desperate need for a new monthly subscription box, I signed up immediately. I used to have an Ipsy subscription but I cancelled that a long time ago. I tried an anxiety relief box too but that got expensive. This seemed affordable and right up my alley.

Rachel Reviews: Why You Should Read Children's Books by Katherine Rundell
I love Katherine Rundell so it is no surprise that this will be a favourable review. However, I was a little surprised by the brevity of this book, although I heartily endorse the message contained within. It is an essay rather than a book, a discussion of a viewpoint to promote debate.

Book Review: Clytemnestra’s Bind by Susan C Wilson . Top Story - December 2023.
The House of Atreus is spiralling into self-destruction—a woman must find a way to break the family curse. Queen Clytemnestra's world shatters when Agamemnon, a rival to the throne of Mycenae, storms her palace, destroys her family and claims not only the throne but Clytemnestra herself. Tormented by her loss, she vows to do all she can to protect the children born from her unhappy marriage to Agamemnon. But when her husband casts his ruthless gaze towards the wealthy citadel of Troy, his ambitions threaten, once more, to destroy the family Clytemnestra loves. From one of Greek mythology's most reviled characters—a woman who challenged the absolute power of men—comes this fiery tale of power, family rivalry and a mother's burning love. Placing motherhood at the heart of the story, Clytemnestra’s voice is heard in a new way. It also explores society's obligation to conform to stereotypical gender expectations and shows the explosive powerplay between men and women in a patriarchal society.
