love whipple her novels are a real treat and so well written it is a shame she isn‘t widely known but thanks to Persephone we all get to enjoy her wonderful books . Not my favourite but still a fantastic gripping read on the perils of greed poor Celia

Enjoyable easy escapist romance ❤️‍🔥 no 2 In the series and not as good as the first , mostly listened on audio which had dual narrators male and female which I enjoy rather than one actor putting on fake voices which can ruin a good book .

Page 📄 55 & hello Ravyn yew giving me games of thrones vibes 😆in a good way

Wasn‘t a planning on adding this to mays TBR but library 📚 haul came in - why do they always come available at once ! So il have to make sure I just make more time to read in the coming month 😆only on page 📑 16 and already it‘s beautifully written, captivating I can almost smell the air and feel the Malaysian 🇲🇾 heat- now that‘s a talented author & powerful writing .”our minds travel when our bodies cannot “

disappointing month of reading 📖 for me #aprilbookspinbingo does anyone else get frustrated when they don‘t get to even start a planned reading list ?Finished heartless on audio this series is excellent on audio , disappointed with the go between ,the women and they knew mr knight wonderful writing from Hartley and whipple but just didn‘t grab me ! Started one dark window and so far so good 😊 so here‘s to mays TBR @TheAromaofBooks happy reading

@Mrs_B on your recommendation picked up it gower street today this beautiful 🤩 copy 😁happy weekend see you soon 😘

#persephonebookclub 4day break in beautiful bath with best friend & the twins they‘re becoming regulars in the Persephone bookshop & the festival was on so it was very busy . Yes we left with bags of books 📚 so many to choose from ! @LeahBergen which is your favourite ❤️?

Toppingsa book 📖 shop in beautiful Bath have a blind date with a book 📖 section ; my lovely 🥰 surprise was uprooted I‘d marked it to read on goodreads in 2015!!😀wish Waterstones would do this too

@staci.reads has already reviewed this book 📖 perfectly . I enjoyed it but didn‘t love it , I felt it lacked real depth & I didn‘t really engage or feel to deeply about the characters. Instead the plot just skipped from one tragic breakdown to another . It almost felt like you never really got to know any of the characters. Shame as it‘s such a worth while topic to write about and bring attention to

Book non2 of April #bookspinbingo and our bookclub monthly pick , snuggling with my little fur girl & suffering with Covid again !!! Wondering 🤔 if lm going into the Guinness book of records for contracting covid the most in a year 😖thank goodness for vaccines 💉 how bad would it be without them & thank goodness 😅 for books 📚 Wer never truly alone when we read. I wonder 💭 how many people on the planet 🌍 are reading right now along with me ☺️

41/2 stars 🌟 from me the last missing half a star to make it a whopper of a 5 is A. I‘m being far more selective this year with my 5s, yes it‘s the first romatasy Iv really enjoyed since the ACOTAR series, however the last 150 pages just too too long it took forever to get there and no where near enough spice 🌶️so here‘s hoping book 2 picks up the pace or I won‘t be continuing ; our time is precious we can only read so much !

Second hand book 📖 haul after a lovely 🥰 afternoon in pretty 🤩 oundle with hubbie and fur kids , super 👌 thrilled to get a folio society copy of the go between 😯antiquarian edition

#bookspin no 11 from my bingo card is The list of suspicious 🤨 things by Jennie Godfrey & #doublespin no 2 is The go between by J P Hartley 👍 thank you Sarah 🥰
🙏 @TheAromaofBooks

March #bookspinbingo results - finished 8 books book 📖 of the month ; Remarkably bright creatures , pride and prejudice, wolf den , Ariadne, hooked , kick the latch , double life of Daisy Hemings. DNF - pachinko 😒started but didn‘t finish (yet ! Had to put to one side ) ministry of time & love theoretically & started the excellent 👌 serpent & the wings of night.

April TBR #bookspinbingo list ready to go ….😀 #apriltbr
@TheAromaofBooks thank you ☺️😘

This is the second time Iv picked this one up and tried and failed 😣 to engage , it‘s not for me I‘m afraid, I thought the island of sea women was a far superior story and far more informative about Korean history and far more engaging , I made it to chapter 7 this time but now know it‘s off to the charity shop !

What‘s nicer than reading in bed with your fur baby and knowing you‘ve got 9 days off from work over the Easter hols 😁

Last night in the Barbican centre , London waiting for the great Taylor Jenkins reid event , it was sold out . Amazing 🤩

Last night my buddy and I went to see the great TJR in the Barbican in london, amazing event and discussion , so wonderful to see a hall of over 2000 people gathered to hear an author ✍️🫶🏻🫶🏻

“The need to ask Why mortals bloom like flowers and crumbled to nothing ? Why their absence left a gnawing ache , a hollow void that could never be filled ? And how everything they once were , that spark within them , could be extinguished so completely yet the world did not collapse under the weight of so much pain and grief . “

Who else reads in the bath 🛀😆at first my thoughts were yuk this is the paperback dedicated to that despicable criminal Andrew Tate , but phew after nearly dnf-ing stuck with it and it turned into a delight but dark steamy v steamy read .
#bookspinbingo
#doublespin
#nosmutshaming 😆

A short novella retellings of interviews and storiesa from the stable hands and people behind the scenes of racing , the love and devotion to these wonderful animals and also snippets of those who own and don‘t care . A great little read easily done in one day

Pompeii - yes I found my photos from my last trip - il post some more ! Go go go ! And read wolf den what an amazing 🤩 page 📄 turner can‘t believe I had it on my TBR for so long !! Thank goodness 😅 there‘s now 2 more in the series . @TheAromaofBooks it‘s thanks to bookspin bingo I got around to reading this wonderful book 📖 thank you ☺️😘

Wow! Didn‘t work on audio for me but reading it blew me away. what a wonderful sweeping saga . It also helps that Iv been to Pompeii 4 times and have visited the brothel seen the stone beds and the murals and the house with the faun fountain (still in tact ) an amazing story really doing justice to what our sisters had to endure 😣and to the legend of Pompeii if you‘ve never been you really must put it on your bucket list it is Atlantis.fantastic

Humans for the most part you are dull and blundering, but occasionally you can be remarkably bright creatures “ 🐙 🥰 what a great book I really do hope someone turns this little gem into a film , so far my favourite read of ‘24 & soooo glad 😌 read it on holiday so could give it the full attention it deserves
