Thanks for the tag @RaeLovesToRead !
#twofortuesday @TheSpineView thank you!

1. Yes I'll always have at least a glass of water with me :-)

2. Having a couple of nights off booze as nasty cough so recuperating, a camomile tea whilst reading a trashy thriller

Tag any of the #gladstonerds crew and anyone else!

Recommended by two #Gladstonerds, it did not disappoint.

I liked the short stories and how they were all connected.

Do I have to point out that Julia was my favourite character?

RaeLovesToRead I'm so glad my BDWAB was a hit 🥰🥰🥰 5mo
CatMS I see this book was released in August 2020 as "The Eighth Detective," is this a new release under title "Eight Detectives"? 5mo
julesG @CatMS The Eighth Detective is the US title. In the UK it was released as The Eight Detectives. 5mo

Definitely blaming my fellow #Gladstonerds @RaeLovesToRead and @CGalinor3 for my current read.

Chapter 2 - there's a character named Julia who sees all the inconsistencies in the story that makes up the first chapter. 😳😳😳 (I noticed all those inconsistencies too)

TrishB I bet you did 😁 5mo
Lunakay This book is amazing, enjoy! 5mo
RaeLovesToRead Hope you like it! 😁 5mo

Ghosts from the Library (anthology), the last half of Holly, the first half of How to Build a Boat.

Cupcake12 Are there any plans for a retreat trip this year? 1mo
julesG @Cupcake12 Yes, from October 10-13. Would be great to see/meet you there. You best ask @squirrelbrain for the booking details - there might be a discount. 1mo
squirrelbrain Hi @Cupcake12 - it would be lovely to have you along. If you email Gladstone‘s with the dates and give them my name (Helen Thain) they‘ll add you onto our group booking - there was a discount up until the end of 2023 but I‘m sure they‘ll roll it forward for you. Let me know if you do book and we can add you onto our group chat for afternoon tea bookings etc. 1mo
Cupcake12 @squirrelbrain thank you. I‘ve just emailed them to make an enquiry x 1mo
squirrelbrain Let us know how you get on! @Cupcake12 1mo

RaeLovesToRead @MicheleinPhilly If it's like it was on Saturday no one will... they had a proper rave going on somewhere. It was cute at 10pm but when it got to 3am and they were still rocking out to Natasha Bedingfield I was not impressed! 🤣🤣 6mo

If Gladstone read this travelogue that was gifted to him by the author (see earlier post), he must have bailed halfway through as several of the pages haven't been cut. So I might have to go the Project Gutenberg route if I want to find out what Rev. Christie experienced in the East and South of Russia. (Not a great deal if the first half of the book is anything to go by.)
#Gladstonerds

julesG Interesting way to find out if someone bailed on a book that was gifted to them 6mo
