The Books That Moved Me (Vol.2)
I know. The book is called The Golden Mole and yet, the picture I have chosen is quite clearly of a golden seahorse. Firstly, no picture of golden moles in Unsplash. Secondly, it doesn't matter that it's a picture of a seahorse and not a golden mole because the seahorse is still representative of the remarkable creatures which Rundell chooses to highlight in her excellent book, The Golden Mole, subtitled And Other Living Treasure.

Slay: The Ancestors Blessed Me With This Read
I started Slay at 9:00 in the evening. I read the last page at 11:45. When I tell you . . . it has been years since I've read through a book that quickly, been so consumed by a story until I devoured it? I haven't read through a book in one complete sitting since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I can count on one hand the number of books, as well, that have evoked such a visceral and real reaction from me as this book had, the kind that makes my chest tighten and heart flare with something sharp and a little painful for the characters. Included in that list of books to spark such a rare reaction is the aforementioned Harry Potter book, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, and a book called The Sight by David Clement-Davies. A motley assembly, each with their own power to grab something within me in a strangling grip that compels me to push through the books just so I can know relief from the feeling.
