Harare Review of Books

Dividing my July reads into two sections, because my collage app wouldn’t let me put everything together 🥲

Had a really fun reading month! Some excellent reads:

• Upgrade x Blake Crouch (rtk)
• Night of the Living Rez x Morgan Talty.
• Ion Curtain x Anya Ow (ARC—thanks, #NetGalley, #RebellionPublishing!)
• Wash Day Diaries x Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith (DRC—thanks, #ChronicleBooks and #Edelweiss)
• Ammonite x Nicola Griffith (although, yho, this was really long for me, and I took ages—rtk)
• What Can A Body Do x Sara Hendren.

These were pretty good:

• Mulberry Dreams x Violette Kee-Tui.
• Counterfeit x Kirstin Chen was pretty fun.
• Small Things Likes These x Claire Keegan. This is on the Booker Longlist!
• The Cask of Amontillado x Edgar Allan Poe, which is really a short story from 1846.

And a whole lot of craft and art DRCs from Edelweiss, which is a very good egg ✨ Thanks to Edelweiss and the publishers listed below!

Enjoyed these very much (5⭐), learnt lots, will apply everything to my craft:

• Brilliant Inks x Anna Sokolova (Quarry Books)
• Fresh Paint x Flora Bowley & Lynzee Lynx (Quarry Books)
