Welcome friend.

I’m Nicole, a South African living right on the beach in the UK. These are random thoughts about books I’ve read and loved and a monthly roundup of my faves. I read A LOT! I write about the special books, the ones who become part of me (a tired cliché, know) and the ones that change my life.

I tend to gravitate towards African authors, feminist literature, poetry, women authors and translated works.

If you’re interested, I save all my reads here.
