Radical Reads & Social Justice
Diversity and representation has always been a key issue for my book blog, and I took this interest into the film world for my latest magazine article. Follow the link for a varied list of Christmas films that don't all consist of white nuclear families!
I had to reblog this post from Love Books Group. The Fright Before Christmas is a short story that really made me smile and get in the festive mood. Plus it's only 99p to download and all proceeds go to support the life-saving work of the Samaritans.
If you're still in need of some last-minute Christmas present inspiration, this list is for you! Not only are these gifts literary-themed, but they're ethical too, so your loved one will get an even warmer feeling when they snuggle up with a good read and some bookish paraphernalia.
From an up-cycled literary print to a charity gift or feminist tote bag, there's something for everyone...
A Christmas Carol was my book club’s Christmas bonus book. Although I already knew the story from animated TV versions, I had never read the book and I was to be pleasantly surprised! I would recommend it even if you are familiar with the classic Christmas tale; it is well worth a read for Dickens’ magical storytelling.
