One of our parents at school has loaned me this by Jenny Pearson and I can't put it down.
Great storytelling and I love the characters. Going to order some for school for our Year 6 to support WW2 topic learning📚

Finished The Countdown Killer at the wekend and cross at myself for reading it so fast!
Perfectly tying up threads from the series... it probably says something about me when out of *everything* that happens it was the funeral in Chapter 79 that was the hardest to read.

Never have I done a re-read of a series but I am loving revisiting this in preparation for The Countdown Killer being released next week.
I am on the lookout for details I missed knowing what I know!

C says she is ready to shine like Tokyo again.
Said she couldn't believe she'd seen @shedsevenofficial.bsky.social in December and now ready to burn this disco down again today.
Lucky you I said @lightningseeds.bsky.social
Excited for them both to see Paul Heaton too.
Nothing like live music🥰

I think I was thinking the same but I really found it easier than I thought.

First day of half term holidays and although I made it, I have spent the day napping on the sofa and trying not to cough up a lung.
Finished this though. So powerful and unforgettable. I don't know why it has taken me so long to bring it from my TBR pile. 📚

Sometimes you just need to be back with old friends.
Felt like this weekend was the right time to read this and be back with Max, Harbinder but especially Ruth and Nelson @ellygriffiths

Some lovely book selections out for our Social Reading session this morning.
One girl asked me if she could read Illuminature as she walked in the door before she had even seen the other selection and she loves choosing friends to explore it with her.

This only arrived on Thursday's release day and I promised myself I would savour it.
But I just couldn't.
No spoilers but it was so worth me not being able to put it down and now being sad that I am at the end. Love @janecasey.bsky.social characters so much!!
And now what to read?!

NicholaJ @nj13.bsky.social · Apr 2

How do I know I am on Easter holiday?
Starting my 2nd @janecasey.bsky.social book of the week. Can't get enough of Maeve and Josh and some murders!

One of my little treats today!
I said to J he would love The Final Year and he has read it in 1 sitting this afternoon. Fool him if he thinks he is reading this before me😄

I have read this as J is reading it as Book of the Month at sch and we are doing it together.
Michael Morpurgo never fails in his storytelling to capture emotions and those emotions spill out of my eyes. A beautiful, beautiful story.

Not sure playing this is leading to a chill Sunday before back to school and work.
There have been tears and an alliance formed. Turns out that a cute Grogu theme does not mean less Monopoly drama!

I have just finished this and loved being back in Lake Pristine. This gorgeous story seems effortless...just pure joy to be with the characters that I was effortlessly all in with from Chapter 1. An addictive read that had my heart!
In my head Jonah is Miles Teller in Footloose😊

Wish You Were Her!

Neurodivergent YA, coming this summer.

It's about a celebrity who gets a summer job as a bookseller in a small town book festival and falls in love with a grumpy colleague.

Preorders are open!!
