I don‘t know why I kept putting off reading this for so long I loved it 💛 It‘s the authors memories of her childhood and growing up. It really takes you there. Gorgeously written in free verse. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #diversemiddlegrade #booked2019

It feels like it‘s taken me an age to get through this audiobook. I think it‘s great that she wrote about the victims & their lives as they really were and not just how they were portrayed in the press. You can tell she did her research. If you like biographies I‘d recommend it. I think more analysis would have made it more interesting for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

So far this book is as gorgeous as the cover. It‘s written in free verse and I‘m loving it 💛

What a wonderful, intelligent woman. So inspiring to watch and listen to. 💚💚💚

Thank you @kathedron for this one 💙

I‘m impressed by the originality & I liked the collective voices, the small village feel, the writing and the strangeness of it. I appreciate what the author did although the story itself felt a bit lacking for me. I can see why it seems to be a loved book though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookgiftedtoyou #booked2019

This just arrived early!!! 😍😍 I‘m tempted to start it but I‘m going to wait until tomorrow.

#wonderouswednesday a day late! Thank you for the tag @Cathythoughts 😘

1. I read the tagged book loads as a kid 🧡
2. Eleanor Oliphant made me laugh
3. Gone Girl (couldn‘t get into the film though)
4. You can‘t beat a fry up 😋
5. Anyone that‘s not done it yet

I really enjoyed this YA book about 16 year old Sophia who goes back in time from 2013 to 1857. She settles into a family that live on a prairie in Kansas and it delves into slavery, religion and the treatment of Native Americans. Great story and characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booked2019 #muslimmc

A classic for a reason. It‘s got such a sense of time and place but it still feels like quite a modern novel. I loved the writing, so many beautiful sentences. The dialogue took a bit getting used to but it definitely added to the novel. One I won‘t be forgetting in a hurry. Thanks for starting the buddy read @Cathythoughts ♥️ really glad to have read it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not my usual type of read but I enjoyed it. Great writing, well paced and two memorable characters in Tim and Virginia. #nyrbbookclub ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I seem to have lost my reading mojo this month 😫 it‘s taking me ages to finish a book and I‘m struggling to really get into any. Saying that, I am liking this one so far. I‘ve got quite a bit of it left to read before our discussion tomorrow so this is my plan for tonight. #nyrbbookclub

This is good but too long winded for what I‘m wanting to read at the minute so bailing for now but will come back to it at some point.

Got my coffee now going to sit and read this for a bit 👌

Excellent collection of short stories by a diverse selection of women writers; they all worked well together and I enjoyed reading pretty much every story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first graphic novel and I loved it! As good as the novel and the TV show. Amazing artwork. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booked2019 #graphicnovel

Hope it‘s ok I‘m posting my choices now. Sleepless Nights has been on my tbr for years but the other two sound so intriguing! Looking forward to seeing what you guys pick 🖤 #nyrbbookclub

I‘m LOVING this book 🙌

I liked the sparse writing and I know it will have its charm for some but in all honesty I found it a bit dull and boring. ⭐️⭐️ #booktomovie #booked2019

Nothing to write home about but still an entertaining read about family dynamics & being in the restaurant business. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A quiet, contemplative novel. I love a novel that evokes a strong mood and this one certainly does. It‘s multi layered and I think it could have done without some of the past sections but the bits about PTSD and trauma were brilliant. A great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So when I was in Waterstones having a coffee I obviously couldn‘t resist buying a book 😂 this one was thanks to the review by @batsy 💜

Just starting this one having a coffee in Waterstones 💕

It could have been excellent had it offered that bit more character depth. It felt a bit shallow and for such an extreme crime I didn‘t feel involved much emotionally. It is marketed as a thriller and page-turner and in that regard it hits the mark. However, as it‘s based on a true story I wanted more. ⭐️⭐️

I‘ve read a lot of good books this year. These are my #top6reads so far.

London bound so have two hours reading time 😁 not sure what to make of this yet. I‘m intrigued but it‘s not completely gripping me.

#booked2019 Spring quarter complete 😁

🎶 Features a musician - Loving Amy
🍷 Food or beverage on cover - Breakfast at Tiffany‘s
⛰ Indigenous author - The Round House
🌑 Night oriented title - Moon Tiger
🌍 Cli-Fi - Flight Behaviour
📱 Social media focus - Alone Together

The overwhelming feeling from this novel is sadness, although the ending is more uplifting. It‘s written quite simply; generally short, blunt sentences. It takes you on an emotional journey through the highs and lows of a marriage. It kept on surprising me and every time I picked it up I just wanted to keep on reading. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book of mini biographies of smart, sharp and talented women writers from Dorothy Parker to Janet Malcolm. It was interesting to read about their lives and careers as well as their relationships to each other and feminism. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

21 hours on audio seemed like it might be too long but the whole thing was an absolute delight to listen to. It‘s a sprawling narrative that spans decades. It‘s got plot but mostly it‘s about the characters; family, friendships, secrets, the choices they make that effect each other. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn‘t like the second half. However, I haven‘t laughed so much reading a novel as I did reading the first half. It‘s sarcastic, witty and to the bone humour. Brilliantly written. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #nyrbbookclub

I was in tears last night reading the last chapters of this. It‘s so sad and heartbreaking. The love she had for her daughter just shines throughout. She‘s so honest and real, just like Amy was. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #featuresamusician #booked2019

I liked it and read it pretty quickly but it lacked something. I think maybe it was the lack of connection I felt to the characters. Decent read but you know when a book just won‘t be that memorable? One of those for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #indigenousauthor #booked2019

The first half of this book was about robots & how we as humans interact with them emotionally. The second part was focused on social media, being online & how that is affecting our relationships with each other. It‘s an accessible read, although it is a bit dated and often repetitive. It probably made an impact at the time it was released. 👇

Thanks @Libby1 for the next #mhroundrobin. I still haven‘t read the last one but I‘ll catch up soon. Thank you for the chocolate too it was delicious 😋

It took a while to get used to the structure and I had to keep going back to the family tree before starting a new chapter but it‘s a clever and poignant way to write about slavery and it‘s effects on people then and now. It‘s a tough but necessary read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘ve had a bit of a down in the dumps kind of day at work so I went to the second hand bookshop in town and found a Persephone for Qb ? and then I come home to #bookmail from the lovely @kathedron ? thank you so much, so kind of you Kate ? really cheered me up. I almost bought this one myself last week. #jbuk

Thank you @TrishB for the book and bookmarks. I can‘t wait to read this one 🖤

Thanks @kaysworld1 for the lovely card ❤️
Appreciate it ladies 😘😘 #jbuk

This was such a compelling read of marriage, infidelity and motherhood. I was completely immersed in the story. I really felt for Ingrid but Gil infuriated me. It‘s written in such a way that it keeps you wanting to turn the pages. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went to Hill Top yesterday where Beatrix Potter lived. Everything has been preserved and left as it was when she lived there. Such a beautiful place.

Thank you so much Cathy for these two books 😘😘 They both sound so intriguing. I‘m really looking forward to reading them ♥️♥️ the scarf is beautiful and very me. Thanks again lovely 💕💕

Eee Helen I was so excited when I opened your present. I‘ve been really wanting to read this!! I genuinely can‘t wait to read it and good to know you liked it ♥️♥️ love the card and bookmark too 😘

Thank you @Caroline2 for the birthday pressies. I love this chocolate and heard lots of good things about the book 💙💙 hope you‘re having a lovely holiday 😘

Wine, my book and this view from the living room. I don‘t ever want to leave this house 💚💚

I‘m staying in a gorgeous house in the lakes for a few days. It‘s absolutely pouring down outside and I‘m all snuggled reading in front of the fire. I‘m in my happy place 🧡
