AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE was announced as the 2019 winner of the @womensprize at the start of this month, and I’m still so thrilled that it went to such a deserving book. ♥️
.
I read it last year, and I was struck by the fact that it’s beautifully written AND it deals with the important subject of mass incarceration in the US. I think it can be difficult sometimes for novelists to incorporate social justice in their writing in an organic way, but Tayari Jones pulls it off spectacularly.

Have you read AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE? What did you think of it?

Do you read historical fiction? Which titles are your favorite?
.
I don’t read a lot of historical fiction, but I chose THE GOLDEN HOUR as my June Book of the Month because I enjoyed The Summer Wives (also by Beatriz Williams) so much when I read it last year.
.
I have to say, though, I’m having a hard time focusing on anything besides non-fiction this month. Which is weird, because it’s usually the other way around for me.

Remembering Vertigo: V for Vendetta
I know we have other publishers filling the shoes of Vertigo these days but when I think back to the 80's and 90's, we truly had something special under the imprint where each title brought us groundbreaking material. V for Vendetta by Alan Moore & David Lloyd was no doubt one of them.
It was somewhat controversial when it was released in the late 80s and we even have some of the core issues presented in this book still relevant to this day.
If you havent got any edition of this book on your shelf, I would first say shame on you but I would also highly recommend grabbing this Oversized 30th Anniversary edition ASAP before it gets reprinted in 2020/2021 and will lose the "DC Vertigo" logo.
This stunning 30th Anniversary edition is done by @moloosh and the DC Design team @sharp_end_of_the_stick . Such flawless work here and they know how to execute foil on collected editions perfectly! Absolutely love this release!

Happy Memorial Day to all my friends south! To everyone else happy Monday! Thought I’d celebrate King Sai! #stephenking #stephenkingfan #stephenkingbooks #hardcovers #stephenkingcollection #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookworm #booknerd #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookfiend #books #bookphotography #bookmarks
Howdy friends! I saw the tag #myheightinbooks floating around and I had to participate- it just looked like so much fun! Now as I started to stack the books it started to lean and honestly I started to panic! I never thought of myself as tall but apparently in books standards its a dangerous height! So I bring you - my height while seated! For those of you able to complete your tower; I have only one explanation and that is you must be a witch or wizard! So in total 21 books! I tossed in a couple outtakes! #stephenking #stephenkingfan #selfie #circleofbookishfriends #stephenkingfan #stephenkingrules #hardcovers #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookworm #booknerd #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookfiend #books #bookphotography #books #funkopops #popfunkos
Can you sum up your reading tastes in 1-2 sentences?
.
I had a publisher ask me that question the other day, and I was stumped for a moment (so much pressure)! I finally wrote back that I love books by women and about women—especially when they feature a complex (or, what some people would call “unlikeable”) protagonist.
MARCH WRAP-UP! (I’ve tagged the publishers who #gifted me books)

Happy Tuesday! Just checking in to show you some of my black hardcovers — My favourite kind
I’ve always prefered hardcovers to paperbacks. They are easier to maintain, and being a little (okay a lot) OCD when it comes to my books, I like them in pristine condition. I also love how ‘solid’ they look and I simply just prefer how it feels reading one!
QOTD: Do you prefer hardcovers or paperbacks? And why?
How many of you check what a book looks like under the dust jacket?
✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧
I definitely do! ♀️ It’s probably one of the first few things I do when I get a new hardcover it’s probably a bad thing, but sometimes I prefer the book without the actual dust jacket. Someone tell me I’m not alone here please
