Reader and reviewer, amongst other things, UK. If you can’t find me, please check I haven’t been crushed by my TBR! Not currently open for new reviews.
It’s time to try and panic read as many physical copies of books as I can to convince family that:
(a) no, I don’t have enough to read,
(b) yes, you should buy me that new book I want for Christmas.

Have picked up The Burning Girls by @cjtudor.bsky.social from the shelf.

I am lifting these so that, when I am an old lady, I can still hold the big hardbacks.

I remember seeing this book around when it came out but never got to it.

Looks intriguing! Anyone read it?

There’s some beautiful pictures of people’s bookshelves doing the rounds.

Want to see mine??

An overflowing trolley and several boxes in the bottoms of wardrobes. 😂

I’ll get round to finding a better home some day!

Amazing time at Sheffield’s iconic Leadmill last night seeing these boys.

Songs were sung, dances were danced, drinks were drunk, fun was had. I stayed up way past my bedtime!

The local cafe’s brownie game is STRONG.

Kinder Beuno today. I could really do without it being bang outside the school gates.
I’ve treated myself to this HUGE slice of brownie as an after lunch treat.

It’s so big I’ve had to cut it in half and am saving the other half for “later”.

We all know that later will not be tomorrow but will in fact be within the next 60 minutes MAX.

It’s that time where we get the end of year lists……more often than not I’ve never read anything in the list! 😂

There are some on this one by Charlie Jane Anders for the Washington Post that might end up on my TBR though.

A re-read of a book you’ve loved can be a real comfort at times of stress.

I’ve got these both on the go at the minute alongside other reads. Both have epistolary elements to them which I LOVE! 💌📮📧

Anyone got any recommendations for other epistolary books? What’s your comfort read?

Latest from the library is this #graphicnovel from Posy Simmonds.

It’s been on the list for a while this one.

I’ve got an audible account at the minute and finished this yesterday, it was soooo good!

A group of experts gather in a remote location to investigate a transmission received from space.

Available in the audible plus catalogue, it’s a full cast performance and less than 3 hours. Recommended! 👍

It’s snowing!

If it could just snow the exact amount that would NOT shut my kids’ school but WOULD shut my work and somehow mean I was unable to WFH so I could stay at home and read all day, that would be grrrreat.

Asking too much? ❄️🌨️📚📖
