Because something about it caught my interest or I’ve seen the bookContinue reading “Books that surprised me part 1”

Poetry month recommendations.
Its officially national poetry month. And I thought the best way to celebrate is to share some of my favourites. One of the things that has surprised me over the past few years of reading is my love for poetry. Especially the dark and gloomy sort, that just speaks to the heart.
