Missing my happy place already! Roll on 2025!
Hopefully by this time next year I will have my life together too.

Surreal and splendid. #Gladstones24
Just finishing up 3 absolutely glorious days at the happiest place on Earth. Thank you so much ladies for a truly spectacular weekend. 😘 #Gladstones24 #GladstoneNerds
I‘ve had a wonderful three days at #Gladstone24! Meeting so many wonderful Littens and spending time just reading in one of the beautiful reading rooms, surrounded by green hills, sheep and graveyards. So indeed, North Wales is always a good idea!

1) I think y'all know what I'm gonna say here 😁
ONLY 21 WEEKS AND 20 HOURS TO GO!!!!!!
@Oryx @scripturient @CGainor3 @TrishB @squirrelbrain @Leniverse @jhod @Caroline2 @jenniferw88 @julesG @Susanita @rockpools @BarbaraBB @MicheleinPhilly @LeeRHarry #gladstonerds
2) Waterstones, and subscriptions, and Indie stores.
3) I have about 6 on the go at the moment. Need to sort out what I'm doing!
Books I found and read at Gladstone's Library.
An award winning stream of consciousness novel, a 19th Century travelogue, and a small poetry collection.
Books I brought and read:
Ghosts from the Library (anthology), the last half of Holly, the first half of How to Build a Boat.

Miss this view already.
I'm home. Might have a reading party with the offspring now.

Thank you, @CGainor3 for the sheepie bookmark. It's wearing a sweater in my second favourite colour. 😁

I'm unpacking all the things I took home from the #ReadingRetreat.
Thanks for the book bag and being a wonderful travelling buddy, @scripturient 😘

So pretty! I also found a book called the Henwife, a big book on Forestry and Forest Products, and a massive tome called Hints on Farming. They are placed directly below a shelf with such titles as "The Mammoth and the Flood" and "Mount Vesuvius". The implications are clear. If we end up in a post-Apocalyptic state, Gladstone's is the place for city folks to go to learn 19th Century survival skills.

Last day at the library. I'd love to stay.

Two books read and halfway through the third.
The McCarthy I didn't care for. The Winterson was alright but not my fave by her. Both were rather grim and violent. The Stephen King is positively feelgood in comparison.

Final reading location of the day! #readingretreat
He built a fabulous library and added 26 bedrooms so you can sleep with the books. Gotta love Gladstone! #readingretreat
I wanted to read them all… I‘m close to defeat! #readingretreat!
Littens choose the BEST blind dates! 👍🏼 #readingretreat
Afternoon tea at Gladstone‘s Library #readingretreat.
There has been much discussion about cream or jam first on your scone, and also whether scone rhymes with bone or gone!
Nothing finished this week…yet. I have so many choices, I don‘t know what I‘ll read next! #bookreport #weeklyforecast #readingretreat
We‘re now also famous on Twitter and FB 😁❤️
A beautiful morning here in North Wales on our #readingretreat.
@julesG and I went out for an audio walk / sit in the sunshine before settling down for a day‘s reading in the library.
We also bumped into Catherine @CGainor3 and Emma @Oryx out enjoying the sunshine.
Going to spend the #20in4 #readathon at Gladstone's Library with a group of wonderful Littens.
I'm hoping to read King's new book (we've planned an in-person buddyread) and Kuang's Babel.

I wasn't in the library, just passing through (but we did have lunch at the Glynne arms) ♥️
