Do you have a physical TBR at home that you want to tackle? What are some of the titles on there? A practice I try to keep up with when it comes to my books is prioritising my physical TBRs. By this, I mean that I want to focus on the books I have on…

Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect – Yet Another Thrilling, Hilarious Read
I have successfully roped my mum into reading Benjamin Stevenson’s books, however, I did do a bad thing and give her the second book in a series to read first. Forgive me, books gods and Benjamin Stevenson, but she didn’t have anything else to read and I had plenty to share. Everyone On This Train…

Dead Poets Society – A Dark Academia Favourite That Everyone Should Read
Dead Poets Society, written by N.H. Kleinbaum, based on the Tom Schulman film starring the beloved Robin Williams, is the epitome of academia in book form. I know its based on a film which would then bring up the debate of whether its place is in film or books, but I would say that it…
