Book 20 of 2025. Used for prompt 45 of @the52bookclub.bsky.social 2025 challenge. Was a slow burn for me and took until about two thirds of the way through for me to get into it. Give it 3/5.

These bad boys arrived earlier this week and I’m so excited. They are a thing of beauty @ajawilson.bsky.social and will hopefully pick up the pink ones when they’re available in Ireland!!

Book number 14 of 2025 finished earlier this week. Enjoyed this as a bit of light reading. Was an easy, quick read.

Finished this one yesterday - book number 13 of the year. Liked the way it tied in the backstories of so many characters.

I had a lovely catch up with one of my besties yesterday but never did I imagine at 43 we’d be discussing mammograms and HRT. I suddenly realised I’m getting older though I thought I’d be a least 50 before having to think about the menopause.

Book number 9 of 2025 finish. I know I’m late to the party but reading the #Empyrean series. Really enjoyed the second book in the series and about to start book three but have heard very mixed views on it. Maybe going straight from book two to three will help?

Well that’s me renewed for another year! Going to try move seats, though will be interesting as I’m away at a work conference so will see how successful I am at getting online early on 8 April to get a decent one! @leinsterrugby.bsky.social

So matched with someone on Bumble. Sent him a message this morning. Got a notification that he sent me one back about an hour ago but I was busy so only went to read it now and it’s gone as he’s unmatched! Like WTF!
