Today is that sort of day where you are forced to endure being in work but actually you just want to cosy up under a blanket at home, reading a good book #booksky

Second 5⭐️ read this year came from Guadalupe Nettel’s ‘Still Born’ brought to my attention thanks to Dua Lipa’s Service95 book club. A beautiful read with sad and emotional moments but the way the author approaches these moments invokes feelings of hope rather than sadness. #booksky 🖋️📚💙

White Nights Review: It was a middle of the road read for me. I would say it’s worth giving a go as it’s so short and it seems to be a love it or hate it sort of book. I actually thought Bobok (which is a short story at the end of my copy) had better potential and was very witty 🖋️📚💙

No reading done today unfortunately. Dostoyevsky will have to wait until tomorrow 🖋️📚💙
Did start a major house sort out though that is currently in the stage where it gets worse before it gets better….

Started a classic tonight… White Nights by Dostoyevsky. It’s been doing the rounds for years on booktok/book tube so I’m looking forward to understanding why it’s a popular classic as well as keeping my promise to broaden my literary horizons. Watch this space! #booksky

Tender is the flesh was a wild ride. Equal parts disturbing and fascinating but a story that needed to be told nonetheless #booksky #bookreview

Today is the day I’ve decided I’m going to clean and reorganise my bookshelf. Previously organised by colour, now moving into organising by genre. Is this the book organising equivalent to becoming an adult? #booksky

Still in the middle of two other books but thought I’d spend the afternoon in the garden reading this short one - “Grief is the thing with feathers” 🐦⬛ Garden is a mess from building work but that isn’t going to stop me enjoying the beautiful weather! 🌞 #booksky

Just finished Kaos on Netflix and it wasn’t perfect but it was very very good. I think it’s been a while since I’ve seen a show with such a large cast of characters and not got bored of one or two storylines. I hope Charlie Covell finds a new home for the show! #tvsky

So grateful to have had the opportunity to verify this firsthand. Waving goodbye to my obsessive need to be productive has been the savior of my mental health.

How many books do you think you’ve got on your physical TBR without going to count them?
My instinct is about 75 but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 100-and-something 😬

Always hated Tuedays in school then had a reprieve throughout uni and my twenties and now I’m in a job where they are THE WORST.
Dreaming of being at home with my book and a cuppa and not shoving down my lunch in 5 mins 🙃

If you’re reading this you should take the rest of the day off and spend it with your book ❤️

Finished up ‘My year of rest and relaxation” via audiobook. I saw another review say they can’t decide if they love it or hate it and I think that’s where I’m at. I did settle in to the annoying accents on the audiobook in the end and actually felt it ended up complementing the text #booksky

I really appreciate all the International Women’s Day posts but what I would like to see is more men getting involved in highlighting women injustices. Addressing the problems women face, benefits everyone #iwd #internationalwomensday

Honestly some of the AI content around now is wild. I find the Harry Potter content most disturbing. Alan Rickman must be turning in his grave seeing videos of himself saying “Daddy”.
