Such a great night! 🥰

💕📚WONKY WEDNESDAY📚💕

It’s been a while since I’ve done a pink #wonkywednesday so, as I seem to have acquired some more pink books, it seemed the perfect time to do so!

I’ve only read half of this stack, how about you? Any on your TBR?📝

📚TWO FOR TUESDAY📚

Dedicating today’s #twofortuesdaybooks to these @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social books that I bought for the bargain price of £6 whilst on holiday in Malta last month!

Loving these bright cover designs for #InADarkDarkWood & #TheLyingGame, have you read either of these? 📖

📚OCTOBER PLANNED READS STACK📚

How is it October already??!!

We’ve entered spooky season but, as not the biggest horror or Halloween fan, there won’t be any gruesome reads planned for me this month!🎃

Will you be reading anything spooky this month?📖

I’ve only read a few Karin Slaughter books but enjoyed them. I am hoping I will enjoy Stephen King books, I won’t be venturing too far into his horrors though!
