Very good. Fictionalised biography of Henry VIII. Well written and full of detail.

Very good. Full of romance and drama. It is a very loose retelling of Wuthering Heights with ice dancing. I didn't think I would enjoy it as I don't know much about the world of Ice dancing but that is just the backdrop to this story and my lack of knowledge didn't spoil the story, to be honest I actually learnt lots about the subject as the author's knowledge shone through in the wonderful writing.#Vintage

Love how #Foyles don't advertise on their boxes when you order something as you can pretend it's something else to your partner not as he would put it 'another book 😞🙄🙄' 😂😂

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Love this show. So sad to hear this. I found some really good books through this and it also helped me get back into reading after my reading slump last year.

Started my #AuldLangSpine list as I hope to be participating this year. Hopefully @monalyisha will be kind enough ( and have enough time) to host again if not then it's not a problem.

Good. The writing style is a bit weird but if you just go with it then you will be rewarded with a powerful story about motherhood and how it affects women and how we need to reclaim our identity after becoming mothers.

I say all mothers need to release their inner Nightbitch

Very good. I listened to the audiobook version of this. Very interesting and informative, definitely deserves the title of the definitive biography. Well researched as the author spent many years with Robin and knew him personally but that doesn't give a biased view as it shows Robin with warts and all, doesn't shy away from the bad stuff that he went through such as addiction and other things.

I know some people have been wondering why the Goodreads logo has changed. This is what I have found.

Happy One Day Day!

If you haven't read it, the date 15th July is when we met the two main characters and then we follow them for 20 years but only on the 15th July. It is such a wonderful story full of romance and heartbreak. It is one of my top 3 books.

Very good. Very funny but with some heartfelt moments. Nice to catch-up with these characters and follow the hijinks that ensue.

Very good. Even though at the heart of this is a wonderful love story between the two main characters it also questions whether romance books are valid reading material. Well written and some good points made.

Update we now have a title for the next Dream Harbour book. 📚📖

Good. The story is set in an all girls school towards the end of world war 2. It was a very slow story and the ending was a bit rushed and some ideas were started but never finished. The only thing that kept me interested was the unusual narrator of the book which I won't spoil. Thank you #HarperCollinsPublisher for the free proof copy via #Netgalley.

Oh my god!! Going to be a book 6!! 19 May 2026!!!

Definitely my daughter's! 7 months old and already interested in books rather than toys! 📚📖

Good. Follows the story of Friends the TV show and how it got made and it's legacy today. Even though it delved into the story of Friends I felt at times the author was just writing synopsis for episodes for chapters rather than telling the behind the scenes story so it took me out of the flow of the book.

Good. Switches between Italy in the 1940's and London and Italy in the late 90's. Descriptions of Italy made me feel like I was there as they were described in lots of detail. Full of twists and turns. Full of romance. Thank you #SimonandSchuster for inviting me via #Netgalley for the free proof copy.

#TheSeekerofLostPaintings

Good. Fantasy retelling of the little mermaid. It does start with a very close rendition of the Disney version of the story but once you get past that the story really comes into itself. The middle section is full of filler though as most of the action is squeezed into the last couple of chapters but for a debut novel it's got potential. Can't wait to see how this story progresses as the ending is left open for another book.

Good. Follows the story of how a pope is elected. Full of twists and turns especially the one at the end that I didn't see coming.

Good. Follows the adventures of a flight attendant who starts the story in the wrong place at the wrong time and how it affects her life and everything/everyone around her.

Very good. Very informative and interesting. I listened to the audiobook version of this which was read by the author so it added another layer onto it.

I completed 4/6 of the Goodreads challenges that was on from Jan 1st to April 30th. Hopefully I will do a bit better on the next one!!
