The Cows [Don't Follow The Herd] by Dawn O'Porter

A book for our times, where the traditional roles and perceptions of women are discussed through the lives of Tara, Cam and Stella

The Cows is a book that surprises. Dawn O’Porter takes our perception of what women should be in terms of traditional views and messes with it, presenting us with a truer, more 21st century vision. I found it challenging in terms of its direction, not its content and darkly humorous. O’Porter has chosen three women, the first of these being Tara. Tara is a single mum and career woman, and she is…

My Month in Books: March and April 2023

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo When a novel ends with a character proposing quite literally going to hell and back again to rescue a friend, it’s more than a little cruel to keep your readers waiting nearly four years for a follow-up. However, I am willing to forgive Leigh Bardugo because Hell Bent is worth the wait. Building on the delightfully creepy world-building from the first book in this…

Sundance Report Vol. 2

Sundance 2024:, Vol 2 Buckle up for insights and recommendations as I guide you through the must-watch gems of the annual film festival and the flicks you might not mind passing on if they secure a distributor.

Indie Cinema’s Biggest Event SUNDANCE 2024 Volume 2 Wading into the waters of the festival circuit has been a whirlwind, and after the exhilarating experience at the Toronto Film Festival in September, the question lingered: was it too soon to dive into the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT? Still recuperating from the cinematic smorgasbord of nearly fifty films in Canada, the prospect of a…

AS PERFECT AS IT LOOKS?

Dawn O’Porter x Joanie Orange Floral Print Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up

When an email landed in my inbox last week announcing the launch of the Dawn O’Porter x Joanie collection I hotfooted it straight over to the website! Of all the dresses pictured in the email, this was the one that my eyes went to immediately. I’m a sucker for a retro floral print, especially if it’s orange! It seems I wasn’t the only one bowled over by this dress because it’s out of stock…

Review: The Cows by Dawn O'Porter

Review: The Cows by Dawn O’Porter

I like having lighter books to have as audiobook. There’s something very comforting about having a nice, fun book read to you by someone else. So, this last month, I went with The cows by Dawn O’Porter – her first adult novel. After falling in love with the striking cover, I’d heard good things about it and was really looking forward to it. This, however, will be my first negative review… ~ The…

The Cows - Dawn O'Porter

The Cows – Dawn O’Porter

There’s a side to social media and mobile phone culture that I really don’t like. It’s the shaming photo/video of someone who doesn’t realise their image is being captured, then being uploaded online for the world to judge and share. There are pages dedicated to it, women applying make-up on public transport, people eating lunch, tube snoozers; Eurgh.  I dislike this trend for two main reasons 1.…

So Lucky by Dawn O'Porter

So Lucky by Dawn O’Porter

Review

To be completely frank I found it dark, depressing, I disliked it and it made me angry. Why? Because O’Porter is just spot on with the portrayal of her characters. Too real. She hits the nail on the head when it comes to the judgmental and toxic atmosphere women live in and with.

Believing they have to adhere to physical, emotional and psychological standards set by a patriarchal society,…

More Podcasts to Listen to.

Back in August, I wrote a little post delving into my journey with podcasts called 5 Podcasts You Should Listen To, and this time I am back to tell you about some more. I’ve really taken to this form of media. It reminds me of my childhood and early teens, when I would turn on the radio to tune into Southern FM’s daily breakfast show (any Brighton natives remember Danny and Nicky in the…
