I think I prefer Ani DiFranco’s songs to her poetry.Ī vampire novel set in Bishopthorpe, York? Of course I was going to read it! Unfortunately, I found the tone rather odd: it bounced around too erratically from serious to comedy. There were some lovely poems, and some rather dull ones. I definitely recommend it for anyone who has an interest in what they are putting in their body. This is a non-fiction book about the effects and the history of the birth-control pill. I actually saw a lot of myself in one of the characters but I definitely won’t say which. It was the first Lorde that I had read and it won’t be the last.Įveryone has been talking about this book lately and I absolutely gobbled it up.

This is actually a collection of essays, speeches and interviews by Audre Lorde. It was brilliant and “Arraignment” was the best piece in there. This out of print book of feminist poetry had been on my to-read list for years and I was overjoyed when I managed to find a copy second-hand. I always enjoy being inside the universes that Angela Carter creates I was especially drawn to this because it’s all about the world of theatre, but I just didn’t really warm to many characters. You can always keep up with my reading habits on Goodreads directly. I’m up to 51 but hoping to catch up soon. We are over halfway through the year now, and I’m slightly behind my Goodreads challenge of reading 100 books in 2019.
