"The networked society, with its information overload and constant connectivity, is changing what it means to be human. The proliferation of cameras makes everything performative, putting us continually on display while making us cripplingly self-conscious. The constant curated drip-feed of our community’s highlight reel leaves us feeling inadequate and dissatisfied with the regular, humdrum details of our daily lives. Exposure to massive networks of near-strangers leaves us feeling insecure, unsteady, vaguely defensive and often outright aggressive. The Candy House, the spiritual successor and loose sequel to Jennifer Egan’s rock ‘n roll novel A Visit from the Goon Squad – winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the National Book Critics Award – is a funhouse mirror distortion of our current world told from a vaguely dystopian near-future that is all too recognizable while still being entertainingly far-out and imaginative." Happy book release day to @jennifereganwriter, whose wonderful The Candy House (@scribnerbooks) came out today in paperback. Its one of my favourite books of the past few years. My review is up now on Spectrum Culture.

Books of 2023: The Trial by @laura_bates__ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5 **** I'm never surprised when Bates writes something compelling, and this YA novel is no different. This is once again a MUST read. Bates has brought young readers another powerful and insightful tale of how sexism and harassment are rampant in our society. You think this is your everyday survival story, and it is not. It's a different type of survival story, a tale that most girls and women unfortunately live with every day. The tense atmosphere and thrilling nature were just done brilliantly. The island used an allegory for society to be insightful and necessity. Readers definitely need to give this one a chance. This may have been the first book I finished in the new year, but I'm still counting it as once of the best I read in 2022. #books #books2022 #bookstagram #laurabates #ukyabooks #feminism #yabooks #bestbooksof2022 #cupofteabooksof2023 #youngadultbooks #survivalstories #fightagainstmisogyny #femaleempowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/CnI0TT-rdX7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yes, yes . I know it’s the day they call Christmas. So to all who partake, enjoy. It’s also Sunday, which means it is THE SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT!!! And for the last Sunday of the year, I give you Andre’s Aces. The fabulous five! These are the best five books I read in 2022! They all deserve your attention. So pull back the red curtain(swipe left) to reveal the Five Aces!! Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta 🏆All the conventions of writing fiction are kicked to the curb and it’s done so lustrously. Dr. No 🏆 Percival Everett is the best person currently writing fiction, period. Mother Country 🏆 A book that will stir all the emotions as you consider the weight of ethics and morality. Yonder 🏆 A story of the stolen and the thieves amplifying love and tenderness. South To America 🏆 Ms. Imani Perry is the best person writing non-fiction in these times. The Queen! This book proves it, as she easily shifts through genres, as she takes the readers on a journey South! So, that’s all folks, and if you want to read my thoughts on these great books, you’ll have to scroll through my feed and click on the covers. P.S. As an addendum, the best bookstore in the Southwest, USA is hands down @kindredstorieshtx. They have the best mix of inventory, customer service, appearance, and customer engagement. Terri Hamm is bringing a professionalism to book retailing, that is often lacking in many of our establishments! If you are in Houston, TX go check them out. If not you can order online. They are very deserving of your support. #ownvoicesreviews #bookpusher #pushingbooksainteasy #kindredstories #imaniperry #jabariasim #percivaleverett #jacindatownsend #jameshanaham #blackbooksmatter #goodblackreads #sundayspotlight #blackbibliophile #readologist #readmorebooks #bestbooksof2022 (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cml6w8eLMS5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Favorite read of 2022. Just ordered another book of his, “Take-Out” which is a collection of short stories. I could write page after page about why I enjoyed this novel so much but we’d veer into “too personal” territory. If you’re into sci-fi, mystery, noir, and/or romance, you simply must read this book.

Books of 2022: ""These Are The Words: Fearless Verse To Find Your Voice" by @nikita_gill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 **** Theres a reason why Gill is one of my favorite poets. Anytime I feel anxious and want something soothing and calming, Gill's words always does the trick. Nikita Gill has done it again by bringing readers another poetry collection that not only makes readers emotional but empowers readers with her inspirational thoughts and words. Really wished I had a collection like this during my teenage years. #books #bookstagram #bestbooksof2022 #bookblogger #books2022 #poetry #nikitagill #cupofteabooksof2022 #ukyabooks #carnegieshortlist2022 #inspirationalreads #fallreads #booksforteens https://www.instagram.com/p/ClT_aruLGvx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Books of 2022: Foster by Claire Keegan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 **** I absolutely loved "Small Things Like These," and I was excited that "Foster" was getting a US release (even though I had the UK/Irish edition for a while 😅). Just like "Small Things...", here is a heartbreaking but thought-provoking story that is beautifully compelling in such a few pages. You don't realize what you have until you experience it in a whole new light and Keegan does such a great job telling a poignant tale that is a must read for the masses. #books #bookstagram #bestbooksof2022 #cupofteabooksof2022 #irishbookstagram #irishauthors #irishliterature #ClaireKeegan #novella #literaryfiction #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhvHOhrshn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Books of 2022: Wash Day Diaries by @jamilarowser and @robrosmo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Absolutely loved this! Not only were the illustrations were both beautiful and vibrant, this short and powerful book provides relatable and emotional that most black women will identify with. You'll laugh, you'll cry...this book does it all and dives into themes that need to be discuss more open, especially in the black community.

"Everything Is OK" by @wheresmybubble ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ***** Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McNeel Publishing for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest. Debbie Tung is one of my favorite comic book artists and this latest one from her cemented that feeling. This is a powerful and inspirational graphic memoir that now touches on mental health. Like with all of Tung's books I felt deeply connected with the stories that she writes. In combination with the beautiful illustrations that make Tung's personal experiences really come to life. If you haven't read Tung's books, then this one is perfect to begin! Expected Publication Date: September 6! #books #books2022 #bestbooksof2022 #bestcomicsof2022 #graphicnovels #debbietung #mentalhealth #depression #selfcare #cupofteabooksof2022 #bedtimereading #arcreview #ARCs #advancedreaderscopy #memoir #nonfictionbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYGoJJLTKk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Books of 2022: "Bloomsbury Girls" by @authornataliejenner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Natalie Jenner has written another winner that is full of heart and determination, something we need in 2022. The women who ban together to fight against the status quo and take charge of their destiny is what most are even lucky to strive in real life but Jenner provides readers an inspirational story that makes it relatable and captivating. Once again, the characters come alive and you won't forget them once you are introduced to them!

Books of 2022: "Small's Big Dream" by @manjeet_k_mann and illustrat3d by @amandaqart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 **** Is there anything Manjeet Mann CAN'T do?! This picture book is the perfect example why picture books are amazing for all ages! Combined with beautiful illustrations, this inspiring and uplifting story about how all things are possible when you dream big. A great picture book for young readers to read and to appreciate the importance of imagination!  PS Tanya loved it as well that she at first didn't give me a chance to read it 😂 #books #books2022 #bookstagram #picturebooks #manjeetmann #ukchildren #ukbooks #cupofteabooksof2022 #bookreview #recentreads #diversebooks #diversityinbooks #inspirationalbooks #dreambig #britishbooks #bestbooksof2022 #bestbooksforkids #readingtogether https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2W0h2r4q9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Books of 2022: "The Appeal" by @janice.hallett ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ***** You wouldn't think a mystery (or a story) told through emails and text messages would work but Janice Hallett has proven everyone wrong with this up and coming thriller! Not only is Hallett bringing a lost literary for back to the forefront, but she has told a captivating and chilling thriller from beginning to end that even you as the reader become involved and try to discover the culprit. You become involved with the many characters and their lives and you can't stop reading about them. Agatha Christie would definitely be proud of this one! #books #books2022 #books2021 #bookstagram #ukbooks #mysteries #bestbooksof2022 #cupofteabooksof2022 #britishmysteries #epistolarynovel #thrillers #britishthrillers #janicehallett #theappeal #ebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CadjFdHL5LG/?utm_medium=tumblr
