So I understand that the toy inside a Kinder Egg is considered a hazard for young children. But is one moulded piece of plastic really safer?
I miss the "old" Kinder Egg toys. Though PapaSmurf is kind of sweet. #spéirgorm #irishbluesky #sweets #toys #Kinder

I received the audiobook with the narration provided by Emma Cunniffe & Lee Ingleby, bringing the characters to life.
Hunter has a knack for developing a twist & it's impossible to tell where the storyline is going. Each story is completely different & entertaining.

Irish Book Elves 2004 🎄🎅🧑‍🎄
Looking for a great book for a good reader of age 12+ who loves magic & family/friendship stories – I loved Perfectly Preventable Deaths by Deirdre Sullivan.

Happy Publication Day to the fab Nisha J Tuli for the epic conclusion to my favourite romantasy series, Artefacts of Ouranos, with Tale of the Heart Queen #reading #nishajtwrites #taleoftheheartqueen

Tsunduko - the Japanese art of collecting books, but rather than reading, letting the books gather into piles.

My TBR collection is now out of control and I'm using goods as shelves, decorations... 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️
Sounds so wonderfully peaceful. #bookish

QOTD: Do you practice tsunduko?

I loved Even Angels Fall, the first book in the darkly, brilliant, romantasy series Ever Ever After series by E.V. Sauvage. A genuine 5 star read.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Now, I can share the title and release date for the sequel.... Even Vampires Bleed, coming on 28th March, 2025.
Are you excited yet?

Defenders of the Earth

Only a few chapters in and I'm loving "And He Shall Appear" by Kate van der Borgh

Ah, my Sunday #nightritual begins
1) Start a book
2) Swear I read "..just one more chapter.."
3) Forget all about the time (again!) 🤣🤣

Do you think I can bill #nationalbooktokens for the utterly trauma today due to their annual (created by a group of evil, geniuses) Hidden Book Game? 🤣

The Vanishing of Josephine Reynolds by Jennifer Moorman.
A heart-warming & magical tale of accepting life's challenges. Josephine Reynolds is struggling with grief when she finds a pathway into the past. I loved the chapters set in the 1920s, the descriptions are vivid & beautiful. #bookcommunity

I loved reading The Girl at the Back of the Bus by Suzette D. Harrison.
Unique, heartbreaking with a strong FMC.
Mattie’s story caught my heart and I couldn’t wait to turn the page.

Oh wow! I can't believe it! A huge, huge "Thank you" to @harpercollins @harpercollinsuk and @harperfiction for this #arc of The Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli.

I adored The Crimson Moth last year & The Rebel Witch is one of my most anticipated reads for 2025.
