Just finished Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid and loved it. Now 1/3 of the way through Ken Follet's new book Circle of Days and oh my, it's so boring!! Might be a DNF for me. 😬

I've just finished The Woman who met herself by @laurapauthor.bsky.social and absolutely loved it. So warm and inviting like all of Laura's books. A complete change after reading all 3000 pages of Ken Follet's Century Trilogy, which i also really enjoyed. 👍
