“In culture particularly the positive affirmations of whiteness are so widespread, the average white person doesn‘t even notice them”

“To be white is to be human, to be white is universal- I only know this because I am not”

“We can‘t afford to stay silent, this book and an attempt to speak”

Got impatient waiting for my physical copy so audible it is- I am all ears 👂

I loved this booked, there was a lot I feel I could identify with to an extent- for personal reasons I care not to share.
I kind of felt I knew where it was headed but not all at the same time.
As a person who suffers depression I found it an incredibly moving read.
I think I‘m going to miss Eleanor.

So I‘m a member of #bethannesbookclub (over on Instagram) as a group we are trying a more diverse range of reading; luckily Beth was able to arrange a zoom chat with Jayne Allen all the way from California!

It was incredibly inspiring to hear and see Jayne‘s energy and her story.

It‘s going to be our next read.

Yess..
And this is only the intro.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Nightingale: read for book club completely didn't know what to expect but so so good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Troy: Fall of Kings loved Gemmell's style and the characters were amazing.
⭐⭐⭐ Flossy Teacakes Furcoat#1 nothing special but a childhood favourite of mine so an awesome notsalgic comfort read.
⭐ The Strange Casebook- loved her other stories but whilst this wasn't bad perse I just a little lackluster

I loved this read 5/5 📚.
I Have always had a fascination with World Word Stories fiction or nonfiction fiction.
I think it's reading how people survived, the resourcefulness both emotionally and physically.

I went into this book for book group not knowing and awful lot about it and I soon fell in love.

If you love historical fiction it's worth picking this one up. But have tissues at the ready 😂

I brilliant memoir of someone whose fought a horrid illness and has come out the other side.

Imaginative and heartfelt will definitely make you want to fall in love with life all over again.

Being a Nurse it was interesting to hear an account from patients perspective, his love and appreciate for nurses and medical staff was just amazing!

Reading a really interesting article by #mortimerjadler about marking books.
He makes compelling arguments for marking books in creating true 'ownership' and ensuring an 'active' reading experience. He argues the soul of book is more then just the pages and binding, and can only be found when one explores their veiw, opinions agreements and discrepancies!

What are you views on #bookmarking #annotations #marginalia #essays #howtomarkabook #note

OMG probably one of the best dystopian/fantasy reads of 2017! If your wanting a thrilling read with 80's pop culture references up the wazoo! This is certainly for you! Don't be intimidated though even if your not a whiz on 80's pop culture it would still be a most enjoyable read!
It features some of today's topical themes which makes this book even more interesting!

#toppick #goodreads #readyplayerone #ernestcline #5/5stars #mustread

Looking forward to any evening of pop culture references in #theoasis #readyplayersone #btat17 #readahypedbook #ernestcline #80s #popculture

I started and finished this book in one sitting.
What a brave and courageous young lady. What a fascinating read!

On my way to start 3 13hr #nightshifts on the #emergencydepartment so having some chill time Enroute! #hollowcity #missperegrine2 #currentlyreading

My new read.. be rude not.. but can I finish it before #booktubeathon starts..
I did also have popcorn 🍿... but I kinda ate it already..

#readingsnacks #missperegrines #perculiarchildren #hollowcity #newread #currentlyreading

I really enjoyed this tale!

It was a little bit creepy in parts and to me the photos just added to creepy vibe, but it wasn't all out scary.
I found the idea of the Home for Peculiar Children very interesting especially when you think that 100 years before the book takes place (with the peculiars) the Lunacy asylum act was granted!

All in all ⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️ read!

I suddenly think I've been far too ambitious with my reads this readathon ?
5 hours in I've read a total of 3hours and 175pages.
Due to taking a power nap after a small incident with a "book drop" to the face ??

I think I better get some sleep in now as it is 5:30 am and time is off the essence!

An excellent debut novel and well execute considering the cult following the original film has.

I takes place before the film 🎥. And we follow Naia in the quest to find her brother who is wanted by the Skesis.

My only criticism is that the book is slow in some parts and all the action seems rushed in end. However I will be following this trilogy through!
