So I read 19 books in November and only DNF’d one, that means I only have 11 books to read in December to make my Goodreads goal of 200 books this year and a few of those are going to come from my book tours and my bookopoly TBR.

The Road to Woop Woop and Other Stories by Eugen Bacon - Eugen Bacon's work is deemed cheeky with a fierce intelligence in text that's resplendent, delicious, dark and evocative. NPR called her novel Claiming T-Mo ‘a confounding mysterious tour de force'. The Road to Woop Woop and Other Stories imbues the same lushness in a writerly language that is Bacon's own. This peculiar hybrid of the untraditional, the extraordinary within, without and along the borders of normalcy will hypnotise and absorb the reader with tales that refuse to be labelled.
