Hi everyone, welcome to the end of the week and another book haul! These three paperbacks are all quite different from each other and I’m excited to read them. Objects Of Desire is a short story collection that charts the success of wanting and having, hope and resignation, youth and adulthood through a series of subtly unfolding crises. Crawling Horror, Creeping Tales Of The Insect Weird looks like my worst nightmare but I was determined to add it to my #britishlibrarytalesoftheweird collection. The insect family have finally come to seek retribution for humankind’s negligence. This collection allows readers to be a fly on the wall to some of the creepiest and crawliest accounts of insectoid horror from the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, E.F. Benson and Jane G. Austin. Finally, another addition to my @tiltedaxisbooks collection, Unexpected Vanilla is a book of poetry and a sensual, surrealist collection by a young, feminist poet in an equally sensuous and sensitive queer translation. Poetry scares me a little 😅 but I’m determined to give it a try. What do you think of my latest haul? See any there that take your fancy? Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhaulofshame #objectsofdesire #shortstorycollections2022 #crawlinghorror #daisybutcher #janetteleaf #unexpectedvanilla #leehyemi #readingtranslatedliterature #soje #morebooksplease📚 #alwaysbuyingmorebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9M1jCI05t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone and welcome to another Friday book haul! You’d think that I’d be fresh out of haul posts to share but somehow these books keep jumping onto my shelves! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂🙊 Akwaeke Emezi is probably one of the authors that I have the most books by on my shelves without having read a single one of them! 🙈 Dear Senthuran is a memoir in letters addressed to their friends, to members of their family - both biological and chosen and to fellow storytellers, Emezi charts their life through chronic pain, heartbreak, intimacy with death and is a powerful, raw unfolding of identity. I can’t remember where I heard about this fantastic series of books - British Library Women Writers but I’m so grateful to whomever put them on my radar. War Among Ladies is described as a quietly devastating novel about the realities of life for single working women in the 1920’s and the systems that failed them. Finally, I picked The Sisterhood up on a whim whilst browsing for other books. It’s described as an honest and hilarious book which celebrates the way in which women connect with each other. Imagine living between the pages of Pride and Prejudice in the Bennet household. Now imagine the Bennet girls in the 21st century - looking like the Kardashian sisters but behaving like The Simpsons. This is the house Daisy Buchanan grew up in. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors.
