Tea Time & Books...

21st December 2018

Favourite Poetry Books.

I’m not sure when it was that I fell in love with spoken word poetry, but I think it was shortly after I started Uni. There’s something about it that is so open and bearing, it just hits you like a brick wall. When poetry books started to become a little more mainstream, I was beside myself. While my collection isn’t as huge as I want, I’m more than happy to slowly add to it.
Crush – Richard Siken
This was my first ever poetry book in the collection. I’d asked for it one Christmas after having read one of his poems in class. There’s something about his poetry that really tells a story and resonates with me.
Milk and Honey – Rupi Kaur
If there’s one that you’re bound to have seen around, it’s probably this one. And for very good reason. The poems are truly phenomenal and I can only imagine how amazing it would be to hear it live. It’s poetry that I tell people they will identify with in one way or another at some point, and I haven’t been wrong so far.

She Must Be Mad – Charly Cox
I’m not one to buy something just because of the hype surrounding it, in fact, it puts me off. However, I made an exception after having seen this one on social media for month and months, that when I saw it at St Pancras a few months ago, I simply couldn’t resist. I haven’t read it all, but the poetry is heartwrentchly raw and just truly unbelievable!

The Princess Saves Herself In This One – Amanda Lovelace
I bought this one on a whim really. I’d seen a few friends talk about it and I just needed to see what all the fuss was about. I love the fact this is a series of sorts, and I bought the second one at the same time. I love the colour contrast between the covers and they look lovely on my shelf together. I have picked up this a few time and have loved spending time flicking through and picking out poems that I have ended loving. 

Are there any poetry books that you’ve been loving? Or perhaps ones you weren’t too keen on? I want to know it all, let me know in the comment down below.

Away from my bookcase for all of three nights, yet need all the options because I've nearly finished my current read, 3 new books and a kindle is reasonable right? ✌️
Anyone have sections of their bookshelves they jus Anyone have sections of their bookshelves they just enjoy looking at? 🤩 I chucked my recent purchases on my shelf the other day and really like the way they looked together, sad I know, but it's the small things in life 🙈
Monthly little kindle haul 👀 I always get suck Monthly little kindle haul 👀

I always get sucked into the 99p deals, I'm a sucker for a deal! However, is it a deal when you have hundreds of books on your kindle already that you haven't read yet? 🤣 This month I picked up:

✨️ The Enigma of Room 622
✨️ Happy Place 
✨️ The Wolf and the Woodsman 
✨️ Notes on Heartbreak 
✨️ Her Majesty's Royal Coven 
✨️ Merideth Alone 

Have you picked any of these up? Read any? Let me know! ☺️

Have I been telling absolutely everyone who would lend me an ear about how absolutely fantastic this new musical is? Yes, yes I have! I booked this back in November on a complete whim! Mostly because in the email I got, it was described as "part Mel Brooks, part Six, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors", and if that doesn't hook you I don't know what will! Other than the brief synopsis in the email, I went in blind, knowing nothing about the show, the music or the actors but man do I want to shout about them now. 

Firstly, the Fortune Theatre felt like the perfect kind of venue for a show like this, surprisingly intimate and like you were actually involved in the action. From the very first song, I was hooked, I knew that I was in for a good one! The actors were all absolutely  phenomenal, each one with comical timing that was absolutely on the money along with some fantastic pipes that were definitely easy on the ears. I laughed, I teared up, I didn't want it to end, everything from the music to the staging was absolute perfection if you ask me. @spitlip aren't a group I'd heard of before, but certainly won't be one I forget fast. I will absolutely without a single doubt be going to see this again before it closes, and only pray that it actually sticks around. Potentially the best new musical I've seen in a very, very long time! Go get your tickets now, old chap! ✌️
