Time to start this audiobook again! I just read it for this month then go back to my normal one. 🧛🧟📚📖

DGRachel Richard Armitage and Dan Stevens? I may have to burn a credit for that! I was thinking about rereading Dr. Jekyll this month. 🤔🤔 2d
Birdsong28 @DGRachel It is so worth using a credit for this. Their performances are so good. 1d

Good. Interesting concept but somehow it got lost and so the story just seemed so out of order and rationality. I felt sorry for the main character at first then as the story went on I hated her as actions throughout the story just went from bad to worse. The ending was as if the story just didn't happen it just felt too good for the actions leading up to it. Thank you for the free copy #Netgalley.

Good. Hard to read at first as it's very disjointed but when you get into it it's such a good read. A fictionalised account of Marilyn Monroe's life from not just her but her friends and family. My advice with this book is to just go with it and don't think too hard about what you are reading otherwise it won't make sense and will spoil the experience, you need to have some background knowledge before you read this as some things won't make sense.

Good. Shows her journey through depression and how she is working through it. Lovely artwork. Also it gives you hope and inspiration for your own mental health issues, that there is hope and how ever you cope to combat your issues that is ok and that you shouldn't be ashamed to feel those feelings which would only make the problem worse.

Good. Sequel to Miss You. Loved returning to the characters as you got to go further into their story. Even though at times I felt like this was a sequel that wasn't needed as it felt like filler and mundane but in a way this is the beauty of the book as it shows what happens after a whirlwind romance when the shine goes off. Also I got the feeling towards the end that it was also a bit autobiographical.

Very good. Josie Silver just keeps on getting better and better. This book is full of passion, romance and heartache. Wonderful writing that just flows throughout and makes you feel part of the scene, not just reading it on a page. The characters are so relatable and well written. Thank you #Penguin for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.

Thank you @HarperCollins for sending me these goodies.
I missed Lindsey Kelk's zoom party for Love Me Do a few weeks back due to recovering from surgery and there was supposed to be a recording sent out after it. I emailed Harper Collins about it and they said there were technical issues so as an apology they sent out a summer romance bundle and here it is.

Some goodies from last night. Some biscuits (the items wrapped up), badges, stickers and a phone holder ring.

Even though I was a bit jealous of a woman's tote bag from Lindsey Kelk's book tour of On a Night like this and wished we had tote bags this time 😔 but just being there was really amazing ( still we all love a good tote bag 😂) and these goodies were still good. 📚📖

Just received my copy of Love Me Do. I got mine from https://www.tealeavesandreads.co.uk/ . First time doing so and I love how it was packed. It is a signed bookplate edition but it does have room for Lindsey to sign it on Tuesday night! Can't wait to meet her! Going to start this tomorrow so I'm prepared!
