Month in Review(s) - March 2017
March was difficult, guys.
My depression has not been good, and I had an awful cold.
So, between the two, my concentration was utterly shot. I also had a lot of work on, which I had to prioritise. (Because I need money.)
So, between the two, my concentration was utterly shot. I also had a lot of work on, which I had to prioritise. (Because I need money.)
The result of those factors was that I only wrote/published two reviews in March (granted, I did publish plenty of other posts too.)
I have to admit that, as my own worst critic, I'm kind of disappointed.

A
few starting notes:
I
received a free digital review copy of this book via NetGalley.
NetGalley provides review copies from publishers in exchange for fair
and honest reviews.
Honestly, I like me some short stories - and I never fail to be impressed by Rosarium Publishing - so I figured, why not? And decided to give this a shot.
Premise:
A collection of voices - an unforgotten collected memory that encompasses the past, present, and future.
These short stories are tales of strength, pain, sacrifice, and life. These are the voices of martyrs.

Month in Review(s) - February 2017
February. The shortest of months, and the one with Valentine's Day crammed into the middle there.
Which may explain why four of the 5 books I reviewed this month were romances - guess it even got to yours truly! (I'm not going all soft on you though, dearest nerdlets, I'm still your Rebel Valentine! Lol.)

My Diverse Welsh Authors TBR
Okie dokes my dearest nerdlets - it's time to combine two of my obsessions, diverse authors and Welsh authors.
A lot of these actually came from a post on black Welsh authors I read the other day, which I will link to here.
So, I give you my modest TBR list of diverse Welsh authors:
This is the autobiography of Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas - the first professional sportsman in a team sport to come out as gay, national superstar, and nice local boy t'boot.
A lot of these actually came from a post on black Welsh authors I read the other day, which I will link to here.
So, I give you my modest TBR list of diverse Welsh authors:
Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve by Dannie Abse
This is a semi-autobiographical novel by Jewish Welsh author and poet Dannie Abse. If you've never read any of his poetry - go. Go and look it up. Read. READ NOW.
dat's love by Leonora Brito
This is a short-story collection by a black Cardiffian author, and looks pretty awesome.
Sugar & Slate by Charlotte Williams
This is an autobiography which explores the intersection of Welsh and Guyanese identities - which sounds pretty cool.
Telling Tales by Patience Agbabi
This is like a re-telling of The Canterbury Tales I think? So I'd probably better read the original first!
Asylum: Docu-Drama by Eric Ngalle Charles
This bills itself as a docu-drama(?) based on the true stories of asylum seekers in Wales.
Vicious by Bevin Magama
This is an autobiography of a Zimbabwean immigrant to Wales, and the tale of his time in the Zimbabwean military.
Proud by Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas
This is the autobiography of Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas - the first professional sportsman in a team sport to come out as gay, national superstar, and nice local boy t'boot.
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
I only realised recently that Sarah Waters is Welsh! And I really want to read this, and possibly some of her other books, because F/F historical fiction dammit!!!!
