''She is awake''.

Who? Who is awake?

The following paragraph is pretty intriguing too.

Don't you just love it when you're absolutely captivated by a first page.

#AwesomeAugustReadathon hosted by @Andrew65 starts tomorrow 📚😍📚

I'm planning a less structured, more mood-based readathon. My planned reading schedule for #bookspinbingo is mostly ocean based, so I'll definitely be paddling my way through those, starting with the tagged.
My main goal will be to manage 60-90 minutes reading time per day. Obvs more is always a bonus, right? 😉📚📚📚📚📚
Too many books, too little time

Happy reading folks 😊

Wonderful- atmospheric and beautiful...in an unsettling way. If you liked 'The Essex Serpent' you will most likely enjoy this. It satisfied my love of marshes, estuaries, sea salt and screaming gulls.

A couple of new ones to add to the never ending tbr 😄

like this as a whole and loved bits of it! Seventeenth century Norfolk - England is at civil war, witch hunts, fear and suspicion at every turn! Andrew‘s writes beautifully - has a wonderful turn of phrase and has captured the time and place through the language her characters use. I loved the first section - but felt the second two sections took such different directions that they felt disconnected. Fab debut!

When the wind and rain are both howling - the afternoon is set for a few chapters of a new book. A recommendation from Mrs Harris and she always picks me good ones!

Starting something new today- the last book I read was anger inducing- so going for something ‘pretty‘ ! Although this is about 17th century witch hunting - so might not be as calming as needed! 🤣
