Book Mail Round-Up 💌

Updated: Jul 1

This week's round-up of beautiful book mail!


I'm excited to begin sharing a roundup of the book mail I've received recently. I can't wait to delve into these books and share my thoughts through reviews!


As always, a huge thank you to all the authors and publishers for sending these out to me! 🫶🏻


Women Who Murder by Mitzi Szereto:


"Why is it that we’re always so shocked when women commit violent crimes, in particular, the crime of murder?"


Unearth the disturbing histories of notorious women. From the chilling accounts of infamous black widow murders to the spine-tingling narratives of women who shocked the world with their sinister deeds, this anthology delves deep into the minds of these deadly women. Spanning eras and continents, these tales of true crime offer a chilling exploration of the darkest corners of human nature.


Frequently in the realm of crime, there's a tendency to overlook women or underestimate their capacity for extreme violence and murder, often citing them as the "gentler sex." However, the editor presents 14 tales that unequivocally demonstrate that women are just as capable of criminal acts as men.


thank you so much to the author - Mitzi Szereto as well as Jibby and the team at Mango Publishing for getting this posted all the way from the USA for me!

The Twenty-something Treatment by Dr Meg Jay:


The author of The Defining Decade explains why the twenties are the most challenging time of life and reveals essential skills for handling the uncertainties surrounding work, love, friendship, mental health, and more during that decade and beyond.


75% of all mental health disorders emerge by the age of twenty-five, and twentysomethings are more likely to face depression, anxiety, and substance abuse than any other age group.


In The Twentysomething Treatment, Dr Meg Jay teaches us how to acquire essential skills such as:


💛How to be social when social media functions as an evolutionary trap.

🧡How to befriend someone and why this is more crucial for survival than ever.

💛How to love someone even though they may break your heart.

🧡How to make sex more fulfilling than you thought was possible.

💛How to move, literally, toward happiness and health.

🧡How to face, rather than avoid, bad feelings so they won’t haunt you.

💛How to cook your way into confidence and connection.

🧡How to change a bad habit.

💛How to decide when so much is undecided.

🧡How to choose purpose at work and in love.


Thank you so much to the author - Dr Meg Jay and the team behind the book at Fourth Estate Books for sending out the book!
