Animal Farm by George Orwell
5/5 🌟 Read
Nice, simple read. I first read this book when I was 14 years of age, but I decided to read it again as a 30 year old, to see how the older version of me would understand it now.Animal Farm depicts politics as we know them today, whereby a revolution takes place with good intentions but once certain individuals get a taste of power, they start pushing their own propaganda, changing…

Where The Crawdads Sing: A Review
5/5 🌟 read.Is it a book about love, loneliness, prejudice, abandonement or abuse? Perhaps it is about it all.The book tells the story of a girl who was left all alone by the age of 7 and had to raise herself. The town she lived in shunned her, other kids made fun of her. It would seem she had nowhere to turn to. Nature, including animals,became her only friends, her family until she fell inlove…

The Resurrection Of Winnie Mandela
5/5 Star Read
What a book! Sisonke Msimang is such a brilliant writer.
This is not a biography of Ma’Winnie. This is a thought-provoking piece of art. This is a love letter to Ma’Winnie. This is a reflection of Ma’Winnie as a human being and not just a politician. This is the acknowledgment that people, the world, aren’t just black and white, but grey areas exist.
In this book, Sisonke…

A Court Of Mist And Fury: A Review
This book absolutely did not disappoint. It was even better than the first book in the series.
The book starts by rehashing how the first book ended, giving you a nice reminder to be able to follow the next events. The story line takes a nice shocking turn of events with Feyre still remaining the leading lady, still fierce as ever, and still broken if not even worse but healing slowly.
I found…

A Court Of Thorn And Roses: A Review
5/5 🌟
What a book!
I thoroughly enjoyed A Court of Thorns and Roses. It captured me so wholly, I never wanted to stop reading. A story of love and pain, it is touching and will have you rooting for the leading lady to win.
Feyre, forced to be the breadwinner for her family from a tender age, has known nothing but hardship. Her whole identity is tied to it, so it’s no wonder when she is given…

Woman, Thou Art Loosed: A Review
3/5 🌟 read
This is a Christian book about healing past traumas as a woman. I give it 3 stars because it was good enough however, it’s clear to see that it was written by someone who doesn’t have a woman experience, i.e. a man.
It is motivational in nature, using a few examples of stories of women in the Bible to inspire a mindset change. It also has questions at the end of each chapter to test…

Beautiful World, Where Are You: A Review
5/5 🌟
A book about friends who are not happy with their lives and are basically searching for the point of it all, this book is written from an observer’s perspective. Someone on the outside looking into the friends’ lives is writing about them. The writing style also let’s us in on the subjects’ lives and thoughts through email correspondence, where one friend would be writing to the other…

Period Pain: A Review
5/5 🌟 read
What a splendid short read. Period Pain is real, raw and relatable. It highlights some of the issues in South Africa in a manner that raises emotions from the reader. Some of the issues highlighted include the poor public health system and the difficulties that doctors go through, and xenophobia.The book is written like several journal entries to God, even going as far as quoting…

Act Your Age, Eve Brown
3/5 🌟 read
At first I was a bit bored by this week but then it eventually grew on me. A story about two people who hate each other at first but their passionate hatred turns into love. They do not see it coming but when they eventually see it, they each do not believe they deserve the other.
The book is humorous with a lot of cussing. It is easy to follow and has a laid back vibe, summer read…

Th1rt3en: A Serial Killer Is On The Loose
5/5 🌟
Absolutely loooooooved it!
A book about a lawyer trying to prove that his client is not guilty even though the evidence strongly suggest he is. He quickly figures that the only way he can ensure his client walks is if he brings the real killer to the table. Which is actually a good move, considering that the killer is in the jury, manipulating the verdict.
The story is narrated from two…

The Soft Life: A Review
4/5 🌟
I quite enjoyed this book. Lebohang is an anthropologist so it is somewhat academic in nature but can be read and understood by most people.
It is not a book about how to get to and lead the soft life as one might think. It is more a discussion and reflection of current affairs in South Africa that illustrate the people’s need for a soft life and what hinders us from acquiring this soft…

Anxious People: Sneek Peek
5/5 🌟
Funny, beautiful, I could not put it down. A refreshing style of writing. To get an idea of what the book is about, see below from the last page.
“The truth? The truth about all this? The truth is that this was a story about many different things, but most of all about idiots. Because we’re doing the best we can, we really are. We’re trying to be grown-up and love each other and…

Namibia Road Trip: RSA > Namibia
So I currently live in Cape Town and I use a road called the N7 to drive home. This is the same road that if you just drive straight, will eventually take you to Namibia. As such, somewhere on the N7, there is a sign that says ‘Cape Namibia Route’ which I obviously see at least 5 times a week. Seeing this board got me thinking: “One day, I will just drive straight until I get to Namibia.” And so…

We Are Displaced: Thoughts
3/5 🌟
A book about refugees by refugees, We Are Displaced is not a work of art. You can read it for the stories and enlightenment of crises around the world, but not as something to be enjoyed nor did I expect anything more from it really. When I picked it up, I just wanted to learn about Malala and the stories of refugees. I did expect to at least feel how they felt, but the style of writing…
