The Nepal tragedy has made me think of the beginning of this book. It follows the journey of Frank, the sole survivor after a deadly heatwave in India suffering from PTSD and survivors’ guilt and drives his arc. You have to do everything you can to stop the climate crisis, it’s now or never.

Title: Reconsidering Reparations Author: Olúfémi O. Táíwò Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A well-researched book. I thoroughly enjoyed the climate change angle as I don't think many people have thought about it from this point of view. An excellent argument. Full review here: www.estipienaar.com/eco-esti/rev...

Title: The Barbecue at No. 9 Author: Jennie Godfrey Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A lovely read, good characters and very well written. It jumped right in and had my attention to the end. Definitely worth a read.
