~ The Little Contemporary Corner ~ Leave a comment

* The book discussed in this post has been gifted by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

David Levithan…not a book goes by when i do not love your writing more and more. One of my favourite authors, i cannot help put pick up absolutely everything that David has published. More so, when he co-authors. I admittedly have never read a Jennifer Niven, and i think Take Me With You When You Go has pursuaded me to pick up her previous books.

A Huge Book Haul

~ The Little Contemporary Corner ~ 2 Comments

I’m going to come out (not of the closet, i already did that), and say that i have bought A LOT of books recently. If you read my last post, i have recently taken some time off work, and that lead to a lot of independant book shop trips. I picked up quite the mix of books in the last few months, and i have to say, i’m really excited about all of them.

A Beautiful Hardback Haul

~ The Little Contemporary Corner ~ 1 Comment

I can’t say this is most of my recent purchases, i cannot admit that at all, however i wanted to share with you a small part of the books i’ve recently hauled, which are absolutely stunning hardbacks. I’ve chosen in the last few months to treat myself to some hardbacks that either i’ve really wanted, or known very little about. Rarely will i do the latter, but as lockdown has eased and bookshops have opened but, i just felt the need to support them, you know?

Uncomfortable Labels By Laura Kate Dale

~ The Little Contemporary Corner ~ Leave a comment

It’s not often i choose to write about a memoir on the blog, because i always find it a strange thing to talk about someones life critically. However, after finishing Uncomfortable Labels i know i haven’t heard as much about this book as i should have done and i think it’s wonderful. If this post helps one person pick up this book, i’ve done my job.

Guard Your Heart by Sue Divin

~ The Little Contemporary Corner ~ 1 Comment

If you’re up to date with our posts, you’d know that my boyfriend bought me a subscription to Mr B’s Emporium for my birthday this year. That’s a book a month tailored to my tastes and hand picked by a member of staff. I’ve been so excited about this gift, and at the beginning of the month i got my first book in the post, Guard Your Heart by Sue Divin!
