It’s that time again! Yep, it’s me Ely from Of Wonderland, here to take some of the pressure off Angel for a day. This month I’m going to be talking about some of the books I’m most tempted to buy and throw into my cart. So let’s get straight into it.
We Can’t Say We Didn’t Know by Sophie McNeill: I saw this one for the first time about a week and a bit ago and was instantly intrigued. I love hard-hitting non-fiction and this sounds like it fits that bill perfectly. The only reason I didn’t pick this one up was because of the lack of information about it. It is a new release, so I’m giving it a few more weeks for some reviews to come out before I pick it up.
The Oracle Code by Marieke Nijkmap: I have absolutely bought this book so many times since I heard about its release. I have this thing about pre-ordering books—I don’t know what it is, but it makes me extremely anxious. This is now out, so hopefully, I’ll pick it up soon. This is a graphic novel featuring Barbara Gordon (Batgirl!) as a wheelchair user. Now the comics often do some magical cure thing or don’t make her paralysed at all. But Marieke Nijkamp is a disabled writer so I’m hoping for some good representation!
The Silence Between Us by Alison Gervais: Some more disability rep! I recently saw this one reviewed by Laura who is someone that I really trust. I’m not really much of a YA contemporary reader these days. But as its often the genre with disability rep, I find myself continuing to be drawn to it.
My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh: Would it really be a post from either Angel or me if there wasn’t at least one romance book mentioned? This is one of the ones I’m most excited about at the moment. It’s friends to lovers and honestly, we all know that’s the best trope. I’m prepared to die on that hill.
What about you—Are any of these on your list? What others are sitting patiently in your carts and wishlists?
