'Terrific' SARAH DUNANT

'Lively and intriguing ... You'll never look at Renaissance portraits in the same way' MAGGIE O'FARRELL

'Highlights a rich tapestry of female experience that encompasses everyone from artisans to aristocrats ...' THE TIMES


This is the story of the Renaissance, but not as you know it. Discover overlooked and silenced women from this extraordinary moment in history and how they forged opportunities for creativity, community and resistance. From the bedchamber to the court, they give us an intimate window into what life was really like - and hold a mirror up to our contemporary obsession with how we look.

'Taking a fresh, women-led perspective, Burke highlights a rich tapestry of female experience that encompasses everyone from artisans to aristocrats ... The everyday women mixing their own beauty products should rightly be considered chemists and botanists'
The Times

'A fun, informative and occasionally sobering look at the lives of women across social strata ... The real shock of the book is not what's unfamiliar, it is how much of it seems to mirror today's obsessions and controversies' The New York Times

Excellent bodyguard story!
Format: Kindle
Anytime Rachel Lacey releases a new book, I drop whatever I'm doing to read it, because I know it'll be a banger. And Cover Story definitely didn't disappoint! Natalie, an A-list actress, is struggling to live without fear after a horrible stalker experience 8 years ago that she can never seen to get past. With news that the man is getting out on parole soon, Natalie hires Taylor, a bodyguard who is also going to pose as her girlfriend. I really loved this story. Both Natalie and Taylor have struggles and fears, and the author did such a tremendous job of making them into full-fledged characters that felt very authentic. Their dynamic as actress and bodyguard, both trying not to fall in love (and failing) was really fun to read. Their chemistry was off the charts hot, as were their spicy scenes! The secondary characters and the Hollywood setting made the story and their lives feel very real, too. I'm going to have to go back and reread Stars Collide now!

Interesting premise
Format: Kindle
At first, I was hesitant. I figured this was one of those abelist nonsense series. But... So far? It has been pretty good. The characters are unique & the art style has an amateur feeling to it.

Starts out bonkers and ramps up from there
Format: Paperback
‘Tank Chair, Vol. 1’ by Manabu Yashiro is a manga about a catatonic assassin who wakes up when his sister finds violent jobs for him. The story takes place in a dystopian setting, where mostly unresponsive Nagi and his partner Shizuka navigate a world filled with danger and intrigue. Every chapter brings a new, deadlier assassin along with new modifications to Nagi’s wheelchair. The first volume introduces the characters and the crazy world. It’s a fast action packed read and the art style is dynamic and expressive. The story starts out bonkers and ramps up from there. I really enjoyed this over the top story.
