Far too hot for a warm beverage tonight, and I had ice cream earlier, so I‘m just kicking back without refreshments for tonight‘s #HyggeHourReadathon
pickI loved the strong sense of time and place in this novel - small town Maine in the late 1700s. The main character is a midwife - a strong woman with influence in her community, which she uses for good. Based on a real midwife, Martha Ballard, who kept a diary that has survived. Superb storytelling!

I had two hours to read in between my daughter‘s games today but forgot my Kindle. Luckily I had an emergency book in my car. And I might have taken a nap. But when I got home I started Our Lady of the Nile. It‘s engrossing so far and hopefully I‘ll get another hour in before I fall asleep. No plans and no commitments tomorrow. Hopefully just gardening and reading. #ShelfSweeper #4elisabeth #BirthdayReadathon
On to the 15th book in the Sebastian St. Cyr series 🙂 I am also looking for a new series like this or like the Shardlake series. Let me know! Yesterday was an exciting day; I got accepted to a prestigious creative writing programme, and sent my first play to the first theatre. Here‘s🤞🏼 but I need to be realistic and wait for the coming “thanks, but no thanks” reply. Mixed feelings, mostly positive. #4Elisabeth #SeriesLove2025 #ShelfSweeper
Day 9! Another day where my reading time was ruined by work, but it‘s Friday night now so look out! #ShelfSweeper #4Elisabeth #BirthdayReadathon
Not much reading time today. I was consumed with a tricky work task, and then went straight to my daughter‘s last lacrosse game for the year. I just got in from walking my usual mile and now it‘s bedtime. I plan on making up for it this weekend! #ShelfSweeper #4Elisabeth #BirthdayReadathon
pickThis is my #TBRtarot read for May. “Let someone else pick your book.”
Brian did a great job! This is book 7 in the Teddy Fay series & Stone Barrington put in an appearance. I just love these characters.
Stuart Woods passed away in 2022 & Battles has done a great job taking over the two series.

Just finished two creative writing teachers‘ books. Taija is the leading teacher in the whole country, and she‘s really good. Haven‘t taken any Pauliina‘s classes. Both books were really charming and good! I think I‘ve gotten back into my reading habit 💪🏽❤️ Also got really inspired to write, write, ✍🏻 #ShelfSweeper #4Elisabeth
Started a new book which was published yesterday. A Science Fiction book about Time Travel and the first book in the Madders of Time Series.
I‘m including this as part of my #ShelfSweeper Readathon as it is a Kindle version and is a review copy, so already sitting on my Kindle shelf for a couple of months. #4Elisabeth @Tove_Reads

Available for 99p or 99 cents at the moment.
I‘m so glad to be home again. There‘s a weird phenomenon in my house today where no matter how much I unpack there‘s still so much stuff on my floor. Despite that I made progress on all my books, and will hopefully finish No Nest For The Wicket tomorrow. #ShelfSweeper #4Elisabeth
