So did I! All fine here, how are you? X
I haven’t actually, but will add it to my list!
It’s a brilliant novel - I really hope you love it too!
I have just started it and am loving it!
This is a picture of a stack of three blue books taken against a very blue sky yesterday afternoon outside in my garden!
Weekend Reading - picture taken with help from Youngest Years of Reading and I realised that’s a lot of blue!
Am currently reading #Sleep by #HonorJones and chose #ThreeDaysInJune by #AnneTyler plus #ThisIsWhyWeCantHaveNiceThings by #NaomiWood
I hope you are reading something fabulous today too!
I completely loved
#MySalingerYear by @joannarakoff.bsky.social
If you read the book, you’ll see why I chose these others too!
It’s a book about life, growing up, and loving books and reading with all your heart.
If you love books as much as me, #MySalingerYear should be on your reading list.
I know! Isn’t it brilliant!
Isn’t it just! Oh you are in for such a treat with Hold Still too - absolutely incredible!
The picture shows a copy of Self Portrait with Boy by Rachel Lyon on top of a pale blue duvet with branches of white and yellow blossom on it. Next to the book, Jasper, my three year old fox red Labrador is fast asleep!
Not sure what day it is, but I do know that #SelfPortraitWithBoy by Rachel Lyon has me hooked, and is the perfect read after #HoldStill by Sally Mann.
Photographer Lu accidentally captures her neighbour’s son falling to his death, and is faced with a moral dilemma as to what to do with the picture.
Oh thank you!
This is a picture of a copy of In Judgement of others by Eleanor Anstruther on my duvet, with my dog Jasper who is a fox red Labrador lying next to it.
Sneaking in some of my Christmas reading before the chaos starts!
FYI #InJudgementofOthers by @eanstruther.bsky.social is out in February, and it’s so so good - I know lots of you would love this one!
Oh thank you Cathy, I will have a look.
Hey you! It’s so lovely to see you here xx
The photo is of a copy of The Echoes by Evie Wyld on top of a pale blue duvet cover which has brown branches yellow and white blossom on it
Nothing like realising your library book is due back on Saturday and you can’t renew it!
Fortunately #TheEchoes by #EvieWyld is a brilliant read so I won’t be getting a fine this time!
(I also feel like I am cheating on the other book I’m reading to finish this one…)
I’m so sorry Laura. I know how incredibly hard it is, and am sending you and your family much love, and am here if you need a chat xxx
Character from 1970s coronation street toasting small glasses of sherry by a Christmas tree while wearing party hats
Brat summer is a distant memory, its battleaxe winter: season of boilers, dragons & fearsome maiden aunts.
Get in girls, we’re wearing our most moth eaten fur coats & rocking up in a fug of Embassy & Yardley with a box of York Fruits & a bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream & shit’s about to get real
I hope your Mum has a lovely time Linda, and that you have a lovely day too xx
A picture of Jasper, my fox red Labrador who fell asleep on my bed and took up most of it so I couldn’t get my legs in!
No, I’ve no idea why I woke up with back ache this morning…
Yes please Sam if I’m not too late!
Oh I am so pleased! Now you have two more to enjoy too!
This is a copy of The Cliffs by J Courtney Sullivan on a wooden tabletop
Weekend reading has arrived!

It’s out now from Abacus if you fancy adding it to your reading list..

The picture shows a copy of Women and Children First by Alina Grabowski from Indigo Press on a pink, grey and burgundy blanket next to Jasper, my fox red Labrador.
Finally time to read this evening, so Jasper and I enjoyed the peace and quiet!
I picked up #WomenandChildrenFirst by #AlinaGrabowski and I am really enjoying it.
It’s out now from The Indigo Press, and is a novel told through the eyes of ten women after a young woman dies at a party.
Oh thank you!
