pickThis years Booker Winner? I hope so 💙💙💙💙💙
This is quite an achievement which took years in the making and covers so much, the mind boggles. I am so glad to have taken the plunge and read it. A unique and hopeful story of how vulnerable we are in what has become a f*cking bizarre world to live in. 5 stars
I have waited so long to see what Elizabeth Gilbert would deliver after the amazing Alma Whittaker.
Fingers crossed for a five star read.

@wanderinglynn I have been hopeless at #bookfitnesschallenge but my goal for the rest of the 3 weeks will be one audio book per week (I have read 2 already but didn't post them).
I am in a wonderful place, anchored in Rangiroa Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago. Not walking as much as I would normally but its very very hot here. The wildlife is amazing, this shot I took through a marine viewer (bucket with perspex on the bottom).

Am really enjoying this one, nearly at the end, but it's very hard to concentrate in this environment. Jolly Harbour, Antigua 💜🌴⚓
@Simona this one is for you 💕💗💕

If you have been following my sailing adventures, I am happy to report that I am back in the Caribbean for a few short months. Having arrived into Barbados after an easy 3 week crossing from the Canary Is, we have since visited St Lucia and Martinique. This shot is of the green flash I have been looking out for each day at sunset. I have caught it 4 times, it's pretty cool. Looking forward to catching up on Litsy.

#24b42019 book no.6
I've been reading my little heart out and on the final day of 2018 I'm reading one from the #tob2019 shortlist So Lucky by Nicola Griffith. Will this be my last book of the year? I hope not, I have a long day ahead yet!

I'd like to offer a very warm @Litsy welcome to Anne @AnneFindsJoy : a great reader, audiobooker and fabulous friend 😍 that I have made on Goodreads.
Please join me in making her feel at home here @LitsyWelcomeWagon
Thanks @Andrew65 for letting me participate with a twist - I am hopeless at counting hours read, so I will aim to post the number of books read. I pretty much read all day so there's a chance I will exceed the minimum 24hours anyway. My third book, Elevation by Stephen King is one that I just finished, a sweet little novella and my very first Stephen King book!

My second book, Becoming by Michelle Obama is one that I had started already but hope to finish before the new year!

I pretty much read all day so there's a chance I will exceed the minimum 24hours anyway. First up, Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif, in which one character so far seems to be a dog called Muff!

Is this the worst marketing for a readathon ever? I'm not even sure when it starts. I will be reading this which I need to restart from the beginning and try to finish in one sitting. I think I will start now, 9pm here. Good luck to other participants and happy reading to all.

My second game of thrones post for today, I did this quiz, with annoying pop up ads and 15 silly questions but, wow how did it guess my personality?

Cersei's walk of shame! Yesterday I experienced this beautiful old city in Dubrovnik, Croatia, it is truely stunning and PEOPLE STILL LIVE THERE, talk about Location, Location, Location!
I'm not sure if George Martin actually wrote this sequence or which book it appears in, but there was a big queue of people waiting to go into the game of thrones museum!

Those were they days ??????
Random castle and a turtle swimming around the boat (very shy) and lots of mobile phone coverage here. Reading On Beauty by Zadie Smith which is very funny and reminds me of White Teeth.

pickI feel like I have just run a marathon through the life of Empress Xiaozhuang in a blur of cultures, customs, costumes, people and places that I wasn‘t familiar with before. A thorough historical account, of this little Mongolian Princess from age 12 through to her death when she was still a very significant and driving force in the game of Empires, as an advisor to her young Emperor grandson.
#ReadingOnRoam
pickBrilliant suspenseful mystery, 5 stars.
Kicking myself for neglecting this one, but I sure had a great time reading it now.

Greek Islands, fantastic book in my hands, lovely Littens online.
What more could a girl ask for? Champagne actually, but there is none on board. White wine will do I think.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and thanks for all the likes!!!!

So, I'm doing a puzzle that's taking forever. It's monopolizing my saloon table, so many audio books have gone into my jigsaw and I'm only a third of the way through 😯
If I could redesign my table to have all of these compartments and drawers that would be awesome. (Picture ruthlessly nicked from Facebook).

It's arrived !!!!!!
And this cover 😍😍😍

This is so good on Audiobook, I'm in love with the sound of the narrator's voice and her Aussie accent.

#25infive Readathoning, but I have no idea how many hours I have read for 🙃 I did finish 2 books and am trying to finish Americanah by the end of today! All of these are 4 stars reads and highly recommended 👍💜

Written in a world allegedly in the future, fetuses have rights and abortion is outlawed. It doesn't sound too far fetched to me, it could be describing any given era in one country or another. Society and religion trying to define, corralle and impose its own rules on women and their bodies and their personal rights. This is a wonderfully written and very dark look at one towns women and their red clocks under a new regime.
#ReadingOnRoam
pickI nearly gave up on this book, but kept reading to find a very realistic (to me) story of a family as seen through the eyes of the daughter and the father. Probably a bit too detailed and this could have made for a nice little novella but the details bring the culture and cross cultures to life.
Another gorgeous cover 😍
#coverlove
#ReadingOnRoam
so-soA day in the life of Paul Strom, psychopath, and his wife Mia. Not an ordinary day though and creepy as hell. Not my usual fare, but I couldn't stop reading this one. I guessed a lot of what was happening but I think that was the author's intent.

Flat arse calm waters today so we motored to a new anchorage and I'm listening to this adult mystery written by YA novelist Melina Marchetta and it's a great book, although I keep thinking it's YA with the adults monopolizing the dialogue 😂
Even so, it's a good read and the poor narrator has to do boys, girls, adults and accents as well, Aussie and Brit. He's struggling at times but doing way better than I could 👏👏
#ReadingOnRoam
RIP Anita Shreve ♥
pickA beautiful story which I'm ashamed to say I have been neglecting for too long. A little bit dated and somewhat unbelievable but a very touching look at how medicine can bring us a little bit of hope, even if it's only for a short time.

My morning view, which reminds me to pick up book 4 in the Master and Commander series. It's been great sailing around some of the regions and places Aubrey and Maturin visited. #ReadingOnRoam
pickThis was such a fun book to read after all of the serious Tournament books I've been reading. Fantasy world, super powers, magic, flying carpets and luscious jewels and silks. It was exotically adventurous and I can't wait for book 2.

pickI'm always seeing those posts on Facebook of kids of different cultures and races playing together, hugging each other and only seeing what they love. These are messages to the wider world that adults shouldn't really be imposing their racist, prejudicial fears on their kids. Henry and Keiko are 2 such beautiful little souls, torn apart by more than just war. A beautiful book.
