Welcome to Paperback Social
Book reviews, notes, ideas, lists and recommendations from an eclectic, very messy stack.
I support carrying paperbacks everywhere, sometimes judging them by their covers, sometimes getting off at Brixton instead of Green Park because you forgot to look up. Sometimes being sad because your crush laughed when you suggested a buddy read. And still laughs
I’m Charlene, a 30 Something Ghanaian Brit, live in London, books and general culture obsessive. I’ve been blogging for a few years now, mostly books but also film, art, travel. Some of my blogs are lost. But one of them is here
Naturally books can make you go off on a tangent. So sometimes Paperback Social is about Insecure Season 2, Episode 4…Lit at the intersection of ANYTHING
At the moment it’s mostly reviews, writing, recommendations, lists etc written by me. The plan is to expand on the ‘social’ aspect so feel free to leave comments about what you think or even just DM to say hi or collaborate. Maybe some day, it will be an event!
More to come, this site is currently replacing my old blog due to some Computer Says No sht. Luckily, I always keep my drafts. True archivist (hoarder?). This site might become an archive if I ever post a Substack
In the meantime, I’m on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paperbacksocial/ say hi!
And Storygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/paperbacksocial , let me know if you are there too
