Reading is slow. Partly because life is too busy, partly because of a slump 🫤
I did read Rock Paper Scissors, and really enjoyed it ! Thankyou @EverydayImReading for the recommendation 👍🏻

Still reading Daddy‘s Gone A-Hunting , very good.
Started My Policeman, so far so good.

Have a good reading week everyone ♥️
Hi Cindy, I hope all is well with you.

This is one of my favorite reads this year. Five HUGE stars. One of those books you wish you could read again for the first time. Set in England in the 1950's, Tom is a young, handsome cop. He's married to Marion, the woman who has loved him since she was a girl. At this time, Tom meets Patrick who shows him art, theatre, & a new world of possibilities. Beautifully written. Grab your tissues & read this one!

First I need to say I LOVED this book. A little might be because now I‘m ready to watch the film with Harry Styles in it and it looks amazing but also they way it written. It is written as a journal to her husbands lover. At the same time we have dual perspective of the husbands lover. This was set during a time we‘re same sex relationships could get you in a lot of trouble. This book had everything Romance, love, secrets and humor. A+

is this my new favorite book? (yes) #harrystylesbookclub

Finally gonna read this book. I just started and I already can‘t put it away. Love it ❤️

this took me longer to finish than i would‘ve liked because… life ! but the story itself was great and i can‘t wait to see the movie :)
yes, i may have only read this because harry styles was in the movie, but the book is a great read with or without the movie

The prospect of the upcoming film provoked me to pick up this novel, but I soon found myself growing tiresome of the quaint, over-sentimentality dispersed amongst the otherwise quite beautiful prose. Far too much is consumed by the prate of Marion, who irked me incredibly & felt underwhelmingly two-dimensional, leaving me detached during her narrative. The only tolerable character was Patrick, who at least succeeded in rousing sympathy. Tedious.

“For a policeman, you‘re very romantic.
For an artist, you‘re very afraid,” I‘m re reading this book in preparation for the movie and I‘ve cried twice. This story is so raw and heartbreaking. If you haven‘t read it, please pick up up!!

Taking a read break on my long walk/hike. Sitting on two rocks positioned perfectly for a comfortable sit.

Where to even begin? I had no idea what this book was about other than the news that it will be a major motion picture soon starring 𝙷𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝚂𝚝𝚢𝚕𝚎𝚜. 𝘔𝘺 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴 is an exceptionally beautiful and yet tragic novel. This is a love letter, an invocation of the power of love in its purest, maddening, intoxicating and satisfying form. Marion, Tom and Patrick are 👇

I read this book cause of Harry Styles and it was a good book and definitely not what I usually would go for… I wish it had more Patrick and Tom storyline and less Marion (although she added great details)

In my top ten of last year #favouritereadsof21 #favouritenewauthors

Really enjoyed this book, completely different to my normal genres! Did get a bit stuck in patches but overall I liked it.

Love love ❤️ love ❤️ it one of my favourite reads of the year . Wonderful writing ✍️ a great story , inhaled it over 2 days . Everyone should read this before the Harry styles film comes out next year . Brilliant !

I honestly only picked this book up because Harry Styles is going to be in the movie.
The way the story developed was interesting and the grey areas of how the characters treat each other and the secrets kept are frustrating but real, in how a closeted gay man would live his life in the 50‘s. The entire book I just wanted to know WHAT THE EFF IS TOM THINKING so I guess Harry is a perfect casting choice.

“I considered starting with these words: I no longer want to kill you—because I really don‘t—but then decided you would think this far too melodramatic.” #Firstlinefridays

I started reading this book because one of my favourite singers harry styles was going to be in the movie for it.
Kept reading because it's absolutely brilliant.
The conflicting emotions, the grey areas, the complex issues, all of it is just BRILLIANT and will definitely make you cry, feel frustrated but also feel love for those characters. Must read. Especially since a movie is coming out very soon! (read it on Kindle)
