Cane Warriors | Alex Wheatle

YA short novel about Tacky's Revolt, a slave uprising on the island of Jamaica, against the British plantation owners in the 1760s. A very important book, excellently portrayed through the eyes of 14 yr old sugar cane slave, turned warrior, Moa. It's brutal, it's thought provoking and, with its dialect, not easy to read but I can see it making its way onto school curriculums and as class reads very soon.

Bibliomania 2. Probably best read with guidance to help with the language and themes. I don't think 14 yr old me would have picked this up as a casual read but it's an excellent book for study and adult me thought it was outstanding. #slavery #jamaica #colonialism #yafiction #yareads #blackhistory #historicalfiction #slavetrade (edited) 1y

This Twisted Tale was an "also ran" for me. It was too long and could have had some tighter editing. I found myself skimming quickly through whole sections to find parts to read more slowly.

Gina's the best character - she stole the show - though Rapunzel is very likeable. Not a keeper for me but I will try some more Twisted Tales.

Gaaaah I'm so mad.
I started this book like "omg yes an Ali McNamara book, I'm gonna love it!" and finished it like "omg thank god I'm done".

So boring. The premises were super good, don't get me wrong, but then it just turned into something old and already seen/heard of and NAH.
Unfortunately, not my cup of tea.

A Paris love story!
📚
From a Manhattan cafe to the Champs-Élysées to Casa Milà in Barcelona, each is rich in detail--perfect for would-be travellers!
📚
Isla & Josh are clearly written and perfect for each other, making their romance believable. Notice cameos from the stars of other books in the series. Expect themes of young love, insecurity, & lack of direction.

Dear Martin and its follow-up Dear Justyce: These are both amazing, eye-opening, and heartbreaking. Both depict the social injustices that people of color (in particular, males) are faced with every.single.day. No matter what. I finished these and immediately shared with my cousin. #socialjustice #socialinjustice #nicstone #yareads #blacklivesmatter #checkyourprivilege
