So it actually went up but I’ve narrowed it down to these. Which to say I’ve got about 2,300 to choose from isn’t bad. I’m only away for a week so I need to pick 5. Which ones would you take? #booksky📚

I’m all for books not being translated into US/UK English for each market but this tests my resolve.
(Yes I do know different countries use different terms. No it’s not that much of a big deal. Yes it does make my eye twitch).

April hopefuls. I’m not very good at selecting a stack of books and actually reading them all as I’m a mood reader. However I’ve picked out a few I hope to read this month. What are you looking forward to reading? #booksky📚

You’d think I’d been away from them for a few months. In reality they’ve had to be in the kitchen all morning while the plasterer was here…

These things either taste delightful or like you are eating the contents of a vacuum cleaner. And the best bit is you don’t know which it will be until you take a bite.

Sorting out books always unearths undiscovered delights, for me at least. I’ve come across these first books in series that I’ve not read. My logic is if I read these & find they aren’t for me then I can get rid of the rest of the books in the series. So technically reading them would mean tidying.

Being a mood reader I don’t often select books to read before hand. But as I was looking over my TBR the other day, there were so many I was keen to read soon. So I gathered them together & will spend the rest of the month taking them with me from room to room.

Here’s what I read or listened to in January. I listened to A Frightfully Fatal Affair and didn’t actually do any journaling in Words to Live By but read through it. I loved the previous Emily Wilde books so had to start that as soon as it arrived. What was your favourite read in January? #booksky📚
