@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit
This was a good thriller, if predictable. The storyline is told by travelling back in time, which makes for an interesting viewpoint but is a stretch.

I just stumbled across this incredible essay, Damsels Undistressed, from Samantha Shannon. She wrote this while researching for her book, The Priory of the Orange Tree. (Book 1 of The Chaos Series)

Pausing for a moment with a coffee, to think about the sad loss of such an advocate for the climate and vulnerable.
May he RIP 🙏
Oh my, yes, please 🙏
Happy Easter to all of you celebrating. 🐣
Another Sunday evening approaches, so it's time for our weekly #HyggeHour readathon. Are you joining us for a weekly reset?
8-9 pm your time zone.
My plan is a gin and tonic, blankets, candles, garden fire and kiddos, chitchatting about our week.

The best thing about reading is learning new things 🙌
Oh my, this book really is something special. I'm reading slowly to savour every verse.😍 I can't understand why this author is not stocked in the UK.
#RiseUpReads @Catsandbooks
Blankets ✔️
Earl Grey tea ✔️
Snacks - walnuts and dark chocolate ✔️
New book arrived from USA this week. ✔️ I decided to wait for #HyggeHour as it looks like a very mindful read.
Happy me ✔️

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia
Happy #Chatterday 🌞
It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.
How is everyone today?
