Does anybody else seem to have a love/hate relationship with Booker prize winners? Sometimes they just try to be too intellectual. 💙📚

Every year I wait for this and every year I cry. 🥰

The best way to spend New Year's Day is curled up with your rescue pupper, reading one of the books you requested for Christmas about another rescue pupper. #sophiefromromania #dogsofbluesky 💙📚

When you finally get a quiet day after all the Christmas festivities and you chose to use it to sleep all day whilst your humans work. #dogsofbluesky

Ahhh all the reading wrap ups are being released but I still need to fit in just one more book to hit my 40 target.

Our little menace who has literally woken up, realised it's Friday 13th and chosen to cause chaos all day. It's a good job she's cute. #DogsofBluesky

We're so lucky to live somewhere that we get to see so much nature on our doorstep. Glimpsed this beauty this morning walking the dog.

Loving how much our Wedding playlist influenced this years #SpotifyWrapped and our first dance song made it to number 2. 🥰

THIS! I probably read Flowers in the Attic and many other titles well before what would have been allowed by my parents but I wouldn't be the reader I am today if they'd have policed my reading material.
I read a lot of stuff I probably shouldn’t have been reading as a kid, pilfered from my mum’s bookshelves, and I honestly believe if my parents had vetted my reading I probably wouldn’t be the reader I am today. Just let kids read what they like, it’ll be fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy

The puppy goes to daycare once a week as she loves it but she always comes home smelling different. Husband thinks I'm nuts, but does anyone also notice their dog smells different when they get them back from somewhere else? #DogsofBlueSky

A healthy November wrap up. It's been a while since I've managed 8 books in a month. 💙📚

Tonight is start a new book night. I've been aiming to read some of those books that have been haunting my TBR for a decade or more to finish off the year. Problem is I'm a mood reader and my mood says buy a new book to read. 😂 💙📚

Bought the pup some yak cheese chews after hearing good things and she's been at it a good hour and a half non-stop. Safe to say it's been a hit. #DogsofBluesky

Whenever I need a light read Sophie Kinsella never fails to deliver. Enjoyable read and a worthy reminder that we all need a break sometimes. 💙📚

It's been an awfully long weekend with Storm Bert given that this little lady decided she would not walk or go potty in the rain. 🙈 As we live in the UK not going out in the rain isn't really an option. Hopefully she'll change her mind when her new coat arrives! #DogsofBluesky

Finished reading this last night, and felt a tree snap was very apt. Really enjoyed it for the most part but felt a little let down by the ending. 💙📚

I've never done this earlier than December before but if we're stuck inside avoiding Storm Bert we might as well start the cosy Christmas vibes!

The best work from home colleague today, after a full day being a menace at day care yesterday. #dogsofbluesky

This is a must read for dog owners. Crying with laughter and just glad that mine is behaving this morning at least. 🤣
Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.

This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.

Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.

And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

Too many people haven’t touched a book since they graduated high school and it shows.
