Cinfhen Thank God my family and our area is safe (for now) but we are devastated by what is occurring in the southern cities. It‘s worse than what is being reported. And unfortunately because military service is mandatory for all citizens from the ages of 18-35 everyone we know has a child right now being called in. I‘m beyond gutted. My son was discharged last summer for medical reasons but his unit is really in the thick of things right now and my 👇🏽 13mo

#top10summer2023reads

Gonna cheat and just do 5...

- The Secret History: the dark academia OG: spellbinding

- Woman in Cabin 10: most gripping setup I've read in a long time

- Priestdaddy: laughed out loud

- Bunny: b@tsh*t genius

- The Bandit Queens: dark humour and satire done well

I have just read another AMAZING book, but I have to keep it secret - it's my #blinddatewithabook pick for #gladstonerds trip 🤫

CBee I‘ll just be sitting over here crying in my cornflakes #gladstonerdenvy 14mo

#top10summer2023reads Thanks @youneverarrived for the tag. I've limited it to 5 because I can't work out how to do 10 but these were 5 really good reads over the summer of which 3 are by favourite writers whose bks are always anticipated (Moss, Ashworth, Levy) + the other 2 were new exciting novels (firerush+ spell of good things). Photo of me during a uni reunion in Cardiff + a bit of book browsing in the market.

LeahBergen It looks like you‘ve had a great summer, Andrew! 14mo
andrew61 @LeahBergen Thanks, leah, I'm not sure where the 40 years went since I left uni went, but as soon as I sat in pub with my friends, the years disappeared, if not the grey hairs. 14mo
sarahbarnes The new Levy made my list, too. Love her. 14mo
youneverarrived All of these I really want to read, besides the Levy which was on my list too. 14mo
BarbaraBB Great choices and so great when that happens, the tears disappearing! 14mo

#Top10Summer2023Reads

I had to go back into May a bit to get 10 picks since August was kind of slow for me. I loved all of these even though I only reviewed a few. 🙂

Cinfhen So glad you shared and posted!!! A few titles have really caught my attention 🤩 1y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen Thanks! Which ones? There are a few horror, lol. 1y

Bookzombie @Cinfhen Peel My Love was a #Reggimendation and I loved it. :) 1y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen Ordinary Monsters was a recommendation from @wanderinglynn. I also loved it. It's the first in a trilogy and it's the only one out. It's a Victorian fantasy with some horror elements. It's also a chunkster. 1y
