Break The Cycle by Dr Mariel Buqué:
From Dr. Mariel Buqué, a leading trauma psychologist, comes this groundbreaking guide to transforming intergenerational pain into intergenerational abundance. With Break the Cycle, she delivers the definitive guide to healing inherited trauma. Weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and stories from the therapy room, Dr. Buqué teaches readers how trauma is transmitted from one generation to the next and how they can break the cycle through tangible therapeutic practices, learning to pass down strength instead of pain to future generations.
When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives, hurting our family, friends, community members, and others. Eventually, this hurt can injure an entire lineage, metastasising across years and generations. This is intergenerational trauma.
Thank you so much to the author - Dr. Mariel Buqué as well as Jasleen and the team at Ebury for recommending and sending me the book!

The Princess and the Prick by Walburga Appleseed:
Revisit childhood classics, but not as you remember them.
The Princess and the Prick flips fairy tales, nursery rhymes and children’s books on their heads. Retold through a feminist lens as one-liners, verses and rhyming couplets, and highlighting the sexism endemic in stories we grew up with, these classic tales will never be read in the same way again.
The Princess and the Prick is not just a book for feminists. It’s a book for all of us who are questioning what we used to think was ‘normal’ and seeing it for what it truly is. Thank you so much to the author - Walburga Appleseed and the team at HQ Stories for recommending and sending me a copy of the book to read!

The Bookbinder's Guide To Love by Katherine Garbera:
As a lonely foster child, Serafina Conte sought refuge in handmaking journals – and writing her wishes into their pages. Now, in the witchy shop, she shares with her two best friends, her journals have catapulted into the spotlight and are rumoured to manifest remarkable things.
But her plot hits a twist.
After the death of her mentor, Ford Sitwell, her only comfort is the box of antique books he left her. Except for Ford’s suspicious grandson, Wes, who wants them back! Sera won’t back down, but it’s clear Wes is seeking more – an emotional connection no book can replace. So, he offers to work in her shop for six weeks if she’ll help him get closure by sharing memories of his late grandfather.
Wes may seem grumpy, but he is devastatingly good-looking…and maybe even kind. Surely nothing’s going to happen between them, or will Sera’s story take her where she least expected?
Thank you so much to the author - Katherine Garbera and Chanel and the team at Harper Collins UK for sending the book to read and review! Full review pending!
