So, I am currently listening to "In A Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson and loving it, but I have some questions ... Like why Australia has a snail that can kill a human?...

Mehso-so

I have complicated feelings about this book. To be honest, I almost gave up a quarter of the way through. Personally, I HATED the main character Faye at the start; she was bitter, immature, narcassistic, and incredibly selfish. However, the narrative did pick up at the halfway mark, and I found myself enjoying the idyllic Australian setting as well as the relationship between Faye and Dan.

The Lido | Libby Page

Honestly, I am 7 chapters in and I have already shed tears. Liby Page has created a character that deals with the realistic aspects of living with anxiety. I can't wait to see how the rest of the book goes #TheLido @netgalley @simonandschuster.

LiteraryinLawrence This sounds really moving. I hadn‘t heard of it before. Stacking! 6y
Melzyrose90 It is an incredible book so far @LiteraryinLititz 💕 6y

An idyllic audiobook for a bit of cosy nighttime listening. The author made me want to pack up my books and move to a small village in Scotland

Ahhhh! After a second reading, A Man Called Ove remains one of my favourites books to date. I would be hard-pressed to name something about this novel that I didn't love. I laughed, I cried, and over the course of the story, I become strangely attached to a grumpy old man named Ove #audiobook

RaimeyGallant On my list! 6y

The Shoemaker's Wife | Adriana Trigiani

Pickpick

I had forgotten just how gorgeous this book was. While it's true that the story can be bogged down with descriptions in some parts and the second half of the novel feels rushed through, the overall story is an adventure that is worth reading until the end; the detailed imagery transports the reader into the Italian Alps, and later the USA. The experience becomes even more exquisite if you choose to listen to the audiobook while you read, as I did

Honestly, how could I possibly dislike this book? Apart from the douchey boyfriend, Ryan, I fell in love with the story's characters and plot immediately. In fact, Dodie reminded me a bit of myself in that she had been through hell with depression and anxiety; forcing her to drop formal education. A feeling that I know all too well 📚

"A father mourns, but a mother, whose child is born of her body, remembers the soft kisses that become the act of two loving bodies joined together in sweet privacy, which begets the first flutter of joyous pregnancy, to the soft, slippery kicks as the baby grows in her belly, to the moment when her body opens up to bring a new life to the world, and yields to a despair that will never leave her"
