This book was to put it simply…delightful ❤️
Veronica makes a decision that will take her on the journey of a lifetime.
The story is charming and beautifully written and unbeknown to me has inspirational environmental message throughout. I could not put it down.
I felt such affection for Veronica as the story developed and began to understand why Veronica is the way she is.
I was hooked from page one. A definite 5 ⭐️

Day3: Silver bells

My first festive read of December + on my TBR list for the #WinterGames2021.
A slow paced, warm hearted, cosy story that was full of Christmas cheer. Meredith isn‘t keen on the festive season which the reader will find out why but with the arrival of Finn in the seaside town, will she maintain that Meredith just doesn‘t ‘feel‘ Christmas. I loved the sound of the seaside village and featured a great range of characters.

2. A very Murder Christmas club, Christmas carols and a Cornish cream tea

My #jolabokaflod parcel has been sent today. It‘s on its way to a very special friend ❤️ hope it‘s gets there safely x

Four residents in a peaceful retirement community meet up for a Thursday Murder Club to discuss unsolved mysteries. A local developer is found dead and the club find themselves in the middle of their first ‘live‘ case. Can they solve the murder before it‘s too late?
An enjoyable read and some quirky characters but it was too slow and too many character perspectives which where unnecessary and confusing.
Was looking forward to enjoying this so much

#wondrouswednesday
1. MG Leonard, Robin Stevens and JK Rowling
2. Esme from Twilight, even named my youngest daughter the same name
3. The Ex Hex by Lauren Stirling

This has been on my TBR list for a while and I didn‘t know what to expect but I finished it in 3 days! Four famous siblings, the book is literally over the period of 24 hours. It‘s the day of the Riva‘s house party, renowned every year for its epic levels of partying. The party becomes out of control and so do that of the siblings lives. Explore lives, love and secrets that are explored in this family over the years.

Just thought I‘d take a look at my reading stars. Considering I love to read romance/chick lit. I defiantly can see I‘m delving into other genres and enjoying them 👍🏻

#twofortuesday
1. I completed my goal of 60 books already for 2021 and up to book number 68. I‘ve also not brought one single book this year but read for my existing books at open and from my kindle! It‘s one of the hardest things I‘ve done! Roll on Jan 1st when I can hit the shops 🛍
2. I‘m trying to get hold of a copy of my buddy read for the Winter Games “In the holidaze”
@TheSpineView

#sundayfunday
1. I am. We‘re called Page Turners and meet twice a month.
2. The Midnight Library…such a thought provoking book with so much to discuss!
3. A friendly debate of course.
@ozma.of.oz

Truth ❤️📖

Finally starting this tonight. It‘s been on my kindle for far too long!

Such a thought provoking book unlike anything I‘ve read before. The author having experienced mental health issues was able to make me feel as I was with Nora and I wanted to know where her journey would take her. It contained so many great quotes which I‘ve made a note of and can‘t wait to discuss the book at my book club meeting on Wednesday. It took me a while to get into but I‘m sure glad I persevered .

#thoughtfulthursday
1. Reading this for my book club.
2. My Nan being able to walk after having had a knee replacement
3. When the phone rings/doorbell and I forget to put my book mark in and I lose my place 🥲

#wondrouswednesday
1. I‘ll have to be cheeky and choose two. Firstly, Hogwarts of course. Secondly, Pages & Co - the book shop where you can book wander into books (how amazing would that be!)
2. My families health and for Esme having a super first parents evening at school ❤️
Want a turn… @hannah-leeloo @NeedsMoreBooks @iread2much @Blerdgal_Fenix

Monday afternoon off work, cold outside but my sofa is cosy with a throw and Belle to keep me company 🐾❤️📖

True words ❤️

#weekendreads
1. Tagged book. Just started it.
2. Blood Orange (Orange cover)
3. No costume for me but my daughter said when I‘m wearing my snoodie I look like the abominable snowman!
Happy Halloween everyone 👻🎃🧙‍♀️

Not out til Jan 22. Can‘t wait to start it tonight - #netgalleyuk

I‘d heard so much about this series but was slightly disappointed. Chloe is chronically ill but makes a list of things to do to help her ‘Get a life‘. Introducing Red-the opposite of Chloe who becomes the man to help her tick off her list.
A cute, sweet story which was interesting to see how Red was attentive/tender to Chloe‘s condition. A predictable ending but an enjoyable journey along the way.

Yes please 🎃 🍭

#wondrouswednesday
1. Tagged. About half way through.
2. My mum always does a Halloween party for the grandchildren
3. Having 3 days off now to enjoy half term with my girls💕

My daily mantra ❤️

#olayandshare
So many books could be put in this list but if I had to choose five: Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone, Twilight, Murder Most Unladylike, Jemima Small vs. the universe and Tilly and the book wanderers. I‘d love to hear yours
