I'll be honest and say nothing...! I'm cheeky, I go into the chain stores to look and see what I fancy and then get them from indies!

I do know it to be one of the greatest films and performances, it's one I've just never got around to, but after the book I'll have to (keep reminding me! 😉)

Emma (emreadsthebooks) @emreadsthebooks.bsky.social · 17h

It'll be my first read, I think it'll be a tough one, but one I'm dying to read
I haven't seen the film either!

God me too, I loved An American Marriage, but I think this might tip it for how it's resonated with me

I feel like I need to have an hour long discussion about this book!

Heaven...
Current read: Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones, a book I feel as if was written personally for me that I want to ask Tayari SO many questions...!

I've read both and Dorian is one of my favourites as well, Clockwork Orange I read at school, so it'll be good to revisit it

Emma (emreadsthebooks) @emreadsthebooks.bsky.social · 6d

I've heard the most amazing things about it and my copy was sent by a friend who also loved it! I read an article where they said of all the books they've read this year, this is the best!
Oh I'll check out your books you're posting!!

Emma (emreadsthebooks) @emreadsthebooks.bsky.social · 6d

I love the look of your list, I don't think I've read anything on yours either! 😂
What did you think of M&M?

My autumn/winter reading list/TBR

What books are you planning to read for the rest of 2025?

#BookSky

books shown
Orlando
a clockwork orange
one few over the cuckoo's nest
the master and margarita
persuasion
nights at the circus
go tell it on a mountain
lili is crying
the lying life of adults
the picture of dorain gray
all quiet on the western front
tipping the velvet
neon roses
Emma
the glorious dead
the two Roberts
the names

September wrap up

Low on quantity but high in quality and a personal reading highlight for me was finally reading the Neapolitan series

We had lovely sun here today, felt like summer was still here, so I sat outside to drink up the last rays of sun!

I told you you'd love that musical episode! It's so clever and changed TV! It's why we have so many musical episodes now!!

Fingers crossed, but also if you're not feeling well don't push too hard!

Oh no I'm so sorry you couldn't go to Amsterdam and you're ill, that completely sucks
Yeah, I thought the ending was pretty solid really, you've worked your way through them!
