Emily Nussbaum is one of my favourite contemporary writers, which isn't surprising considering she is a New Yorker columnist and Pullizter Prize-winning television critic. Her book I Like To Watch is a compilation of essays a

There's nothing I like more than an Agatha Christie-esque mystery novel set in a remote location and revolving around a group of increasingly volatile people. Like it's predecessors And Then There Were None and, more recently, Shari

Godshot by Chelsea Bieker is a bold and original debut, reminiscent of novels like The Girls by Emma Cline and My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. Set in a strict religious sect in California, Godshot follows 14-year-old Lacey Ma

I read Pride and Prejudice years ago when I was way too young to really understand the language or content. I don't remember the experience being particularly enjoyable, and I think it felt a lot like being forced to read Shakespeare in

Thank God for Samantha Irby. There is no one better to turn to in the midst of a global pandemic than a woman who does not give a single f*ck. Sam Irby's writing is hilarious, poignant, and perfectly suited to readers who are dealing wi
Would love to be reading on a deck surrounded by mountains right about now.🦙
