Hey loves,
Here’s part 2 of my Recent Reads. We talk about murder, true crime, memoir, Jamaican patois and the cycle of exploitation, and all that from the comfort of my bed!
Let me know how you’ve all been & if you pick up either of these books after watching this.
Happy reading!
All my love,
Vix xxx

I don't think anyone has made me more interested in The Fact of the Body than you have with your review.

Bed wrap ups are the best! If you are comfy we are comfy. Hi Vix! Sorry for taking so much time to watch your videos. I don't know why but it´s being really difficult for me to watch so many channel at the same time. I have to go back to the routine hehehe. Your picks are always so on point, raising the voice in favor of ignored topics! I said this before, with your channel I learn a lot. Thank you for these ones, my friend. I hope you are having and awesome month. XX

You are so eloquent that I watch in awe of you! I clearly have to run to read The Fact of the Body. You’re amazing! I did like Here Comes the Sun- a lot. But I agree with everything you have said. Loved it again my dear.

+Ink and Paper Blog Oh you are TOO kind to me!! I cannot wait to hear what you think about The Fact of A Body. Look at me finally getting to my review of Here Comes The Sun so late (!!) We should do another buddy read soon??

Love bed wrap up! yesss. Super cosy. I'm trying to decide whether to read The Fact of a Body in physical format or audio, but either way definitely want to get to it soon. I also have The Red Parts by Maggie Nelson ordered from library which seems like a similar crossover of memoir and crime perhaps xxx

I think the bed wrap-up would have been more authentic if you had been holding the puppy! Always so happy to see you in my feed. I can't wait to hear more about what you're up to.

Should you do a catch up video?!?!?! But of course. I live vicariously through all the smart ladies I love to watch on booktube. I love the idea that, despite never meeting, people can still form connections. It is one of the best things about the internet!
