Forest of souls
Lori M. Lee
Sirscha Ashwyn comes form nothing. But she's intent on becoming something. After years of training to become the Queen's next royal spy, her plans are derailed when shamans attack and kill her best friend Saengo.
And then Sirscha, somehow, restores Saengo to life.
Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory, Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the spider king. For centuries, he has used his influence over the Dead Wood – an ancient forest possessed by souls to enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master her newly awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace, or worse, claim Saengo, the friend she would die for.

Pizza Girl
Jean Kyoung Frazier
Eighteen years old, pregnant, and working as a pizza delivery girl in suburban Los Angeles, our charmingly dysfunctional heroine is deeply lost and in complete denial about it all. She's grieving the death of her father (who she has more in common than shed like to admit), avoiding her supportive mom and loving boyfriend, and flagrantly ignoring her future.
Her world is further upended when she becomes obsessed with Jenny, a stay-at-home mother new to the neighbourhood, who comes to depend on weekly deliveries of pickled covered pizzas for her son's happiness. As one woman looks towards motherhood and the other towards middle age, the relationship between the two beings to blur in strange, complicated, and ultimately heartbreaking ways.

500 Miles from you
Jenny Colgan
Lissie, is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighbourhood. Always terribly competent and good at keeping it together, she's been suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the victim of a shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissie to spend a few months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfief in Scottish Highlands, hoping that a change of scenery will help her heal. Lissie will be swapping places with Cormack, an Army veteran who's Kirrinfief's easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man. Lissie's never experienced small town life and Cormack's never spent more than a day in a big city, but it seems like a swap that would dot hem both some good.
In London, the gentle Cormack is a fish out of water; in Kirrinfief, the dynamic Lissie finds it hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other's patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything. Lissie and Cormack discover a new depth of feeling...for their profession and for each other.
But what will happen when Lissie and Cormack finally meet...?.

THE NEWS
On May 25th Mr George Floyd was in effect senselessly murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin after he knelt of Mr Floyd's neck up to 8 minutes during an arrest outside a shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
For the past week, protests have happened in the wake of Mr Floyd's death which has resulted in more violence.
Over the years there has been a racism divide in how people of colour and other nationalities have been treated in opposed to white people and truthfully I find that both abhorrent and fucking disgusting. I personally don't judge or care about race, religion or nationality you are as long as you're a decent person I don't give a shit what you do or how you live as long as you don't be a dick
I see what’s going on in the US and my heart aches. People are protesting because they are hurt and crying out for justice and truth. Every single human being regardless of the colour of their skin (and religion mind you) deserves Love, Respect and Justice.
