My tag line 😊 My job is quite stressful and today was an especially stressful day, I've kept myself going with the promise of an hours reading later, or the audio book if I'm flagging!

I tend to have a physical book and an audio book on the go. Audio books usually listened to when I can't sleep. I'm listening a Barbara Erskine....also reading one of hers and finding it quite cosy despite the ghostly happenings. I need cosy at the moment, so another Erskine one it needed to be 😊

I‘ve struggled to read these past few weeks. I think getting married in 10 weeks (eek!) has stressed me out. So I bought myself this to help me escape. I love Barbara Erskine, reading her stuff is like putting on a comfy jumper. 😍

TrishB This is a good read 👍🏻 6y
Melissa_J I really liked this one. 6y
Caroline2 Oh I have this on my tbr shelf too! 👍🏻 and good luck with the wedding planning!!! Exciting!!! 👏🏻 👰🏻 6y

Mehso-so

I liked the concept of this book, but the characters were frustrating. Especially as the story progressed all the female characters got more and more maddeningly irrational, and all the surrounding characters threw up their hands in this "oh well, what can you do?" kind of way. I did finish the book because the story itself was compelling, I just wish the characters had been more likable.

Historical fiction + a bit of suspense = 👌🏻 Favourite read of 2017 thus far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't tell you how much I loved this book. Barbara is back at her finest and it was totally compelling. I haven't been overly enthusiastic about her last couple of novels but this one is beyond exceptional. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Spent a few hours at the hospital with my 17 year old son today, he has glandular fever and his throat closed up. They got it under control and kept him there for 3 hours on a drip. He dozed off and I managed to read a few pages.

TrishB Hope he's ok. 8y
Kazen That must have been so scary for both him and you - I hope everyone is doing well. 8y
Jhullie Thank you @TrishB and @Kazen he is doing well now. 8y

Trying to fit in some reading 'me' time in a particularly hectic week is proving problematic. 🙁

Shaunesay I see a lot of neat picture templates that incorporate a book cover, like you did here, is there an app that is popular for that? What is the little brand icon down in the bottom right corner? I hope you don't mind me asking! Thanks! 8y
Jhullie Hi @Shaunesay I don't mind at all. This app is called Photo Lab and I use it a lot 😀📸 8y
Shaunesay Thanks! I will have to check that out! 8y

I bought this when it was released but wasn't a fan of her previous 2 books so waited to start it. I am finally in the mood to give it a try and it has already grabbed me.

margreads Barbara Erskine feels like an author I should love but I didn't enjoy the one book I read by her at all 8y
TrishB @margreads not sure which you've read, but she has written some lovely ones! 8y
Jhullie Don't get me wrong, I love all her other books but The Darkest Hour wasn't spooky at all and River of Destiny had too many timelines for me. 8y
