#NowReading Constellations by @sineadgleeson and it’s everything I expected it to be. I’m still near the beginning but I can tell I’m in for a journey. The chapter on hair brought up so many emotions within me, I had to let myself cry when I came to the end of it. Looking forward to savouring the rest of the book over the next few days.

I was struggling to get into anthologies most of this year but I can’t stop reading this one. I’m reading the essays in order of appearance and am feeling so inspired by the women in here. There are many books I read as an adult and wished I had found them when I was a teenager. I would forgo them all if I could have just this book to read, when I was 17.

It’s so powerful. I think what works for this collection is the length of each piece (short + to the point) and the sheer diversity of contributors. The book is divided into four sections:LEARNINGS
RELATIONSHIPS
WORKS OF FICTION
NEW GROUND & BIG IDEASI’m starting Words of Fiction shortly and will edit this post if I have more thoughts.

The book is published by @insidejigsaw and edited by @sonderandtell. If you buy it from Jigsaw, the full £9.99 goes towards @womenforwomenuk charity. What a worthy cause, and what a beautiful collection.

I’m not even halfway through but I have decided I love this book a LOT. So experimental, so precise in the way it hurts and heals. Masterful writing by @yararodriguesfowler, you can’t tell this is a debut book. It’s out next week so make sure to treat yourself to this new kind of brilliance. You deserve it!

I read this book in one long breath. I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading WOMEN and it wasn’t what I expected. A evocative look at romantic obsession, first loves and self-destructive tendencies we all seem to harbour. I loved it. It brought back memories from a time I was less sure of myself. The act of reading this book felt like an overdue ode to the person I was.

Started reading LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS by @tkmadden yesterday and I can honestly say I wasn’t ready for this kind of searing honesty. You think you have read it all, and then this comes along. 🔥🔥🔥 The themes are varied and the length and weight of this book is a comforting presence in my life at the moment. I want this book to last a lifetime. As an aside, check out @jjoongie’s thoughts on the book too.
