Look what I found in my local little free library! Not only a book I've wanted to read for ages but also this Pudsey headband for Children in Need. I was actually on my way to the shop to get my daughter one for tomorrow. Thank you to the beautiful person who donated it.

My current read is the fantastic, Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead. It's epic in scale and the kind of book I want to rush back home to read.
What was the last book that did this to you?

As usual I've been juggling reading multiple books this week but since it's half term I've not actually finished anything Saraswati by Gurnaik Johal is one I'm making great progress with.

May was a huge reading month,partly helped by having a week off & partly because I started quite a few of these last month.
My favourites would have to be The Book of Disappearance and I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman.

Just before discovering the little free library at Abney Hall we came across this mini waterfall. It was so peaceful. I wish I's had a book to sit & read & listen to the water

So far, May's reading has been decidedly meh! Not wowed by any - a few, including Chopping Onions on My Heart and Mary Barton were pretty good. I'm waiting for that knock out work.

Did a little happy dance when I stumbled on one of Susan Abulhawa's novels I've not read in Oxfam today. Mornings in Jenin and Against the Loveless World were just brilliant so I have high hopes for this.

My weekend secondhand charity shop book finds. Both were in a practically new condition. I've already jumped right into The House in the Cerulean Sea. #booksky #charityshopbooks #thriftedbooks

Such an eclectic taste in books probably sums up my reading so far this month.

Some pretty fab bookish merchandise arrived a few days ago that I thought I'd share. It's from the literary emporium & this was part of their lucky dip sale. My favourite has to be the Maya Angelou pin badge. £12 for the whole box I thought was pretty good.

Two very different books but I'm really into both. HhhH is my local bookclub read for this month. Then I'm reading A Language of Limbs as part of a book tour & it's usually through these that I discover some of the most amazing books.

Last night I finished The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara & whilst I process that one i thought I'd try & pick up where I left off with Anthony Doerr's, Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Any excuse to get outside to read & I'm on it.
