Oops, all the stuff I left in one book that hasn’t been opened in a couple of years.

It’s possible I started a bookstore just to sell Wakefield Press titles. I first featured Wakefield when they began publishing in 2010.

Girl meets boy, ghosts his text messages, then convinces him to help her run for the student union. Just your typical love story with a hijabi twist. Tara wears hijab even though her parents hate it, and in a swipe right world she’s looking for the ‘will go to the ends of the earth for you’ type of love. Or, she would be, if she hadn’t sworn off boys to focus on getting into med. Besides, what’s wrong with just crushing on the assassins, mages and thieves in the fantasy books she reads? When a bomb threat on her first day of university throws her together with totally annoying party king and oh-so-entitled politician’s son Alex, things get complicated. Tara needs to decide if she’s happy reading about heroes, or if she’s ready to step up and be one herself. Sunburnt Veils is an own-voices rom-com with a political activist edge and a deliciously savvy pop culture voice.

"In truth, we are always guilty…" #WITMonth @Wakefield_Press

As usual with all of my reading plans, I have gone completely off track with this month’s WIT choices. I put together a lovely pile of potential reads at the start of the month, but apart from picking up one of Tove Jansson’s lovely Moomin books for the Moomin Reading Week, I haven’t got to any of the others. Instead, I changed lane and was inexorably drawn towards an unusual sounding title I…
