1. Starting my new library today - One True Love (Taylor Jenkins Reid)
2. Twitch - A middle grade story about friends and children‘s friendships
3. The Bromance Book Club….yesterday outside in the garden 🪴
pickGavins marriage is in trouble. Thea asks for a divorce but Gavin wants to fight for his wife. Gavin has some help from the most unlikeliest source. Has he got what it takes to win the love of his life back?
This is a steamy, heart warming, realistic portrayal of working at your marriage. The story had depth and I was rooting for both MCs. Several secondary characters were a great addition. Every scene had a purpose, can‘t wait to read the sequel.
I‘m sat on the sofa reading my book, I look up and think to myself is Lola comfortable 🐶💕

pickGUP (Gay Uncle Patrick) suddenly finds himself taking on the role of primary caregiver for his niece and nephew.
Patrick has no idea what to expect, he quickly realises that parenting isn‘t just treats and jokes but dealing with life, death and self discovery too.
This book focuses on moving forwards and making new memories. The children and Patrick soon realise they need each other.
Full of heart, humour and adorable characters.
Morning off work well spent at the secure dog field. The fur babies can run free and I can catch up on my book 📕 🐾💕 🐶

3. Rest, sleep, read and clean
Heard so many good things about this book, hope it lives up to all the hype 📖
pickA refreshing unputdownable read which I adored from start to finish. Quinn and Minnie are born on the same day, at the same hospital but one minute apart. Their lives couldn‘t be anymore different.,
Thirty years later they find themselves meeting up at the same time and the same place. What can this chance meeting mean? Quirky characters, great injection of humour throughout and some real feel good moments. The book also covers some adult themes.
Afternoon plans 🐾💕 📖
pickThe fifth in the series and the best book so far. Harrison and his uncle are given the opportunity to ride on the worlds first hydrogen/solar powered train. There are a great set of characters joining Harrison too. During the journey from Alice Springs to Darwin, it becomes apparent that the train has become sabotaged as it hurtles across a thrill seeking ride across the Australian outback..
Action packed and the danger level is ramped up now.
pickSaffy and Tom have just moved into their cottage that was once owned by Saffy‘s grandma. During garden work, two bodies are discovered. Police work to investigate the bodies which are over thirty years old. The police need to speak to Saffy‘s grandma who is in a care home with dementia. What happened 30 years ago?
This was a complex plot with multiple POVs but I totally intrigued!!! So many twists but the characterisation was spot on. A good read!

🌸 Anything middle grade fantasy…I love the Pages & Co series
🌺 Connecting with people from all over the world who have the same interests as me, I‘ve always found it an uplifting place to be,
🌹 The last instalment of Meet me…..by Georgia Toffolo
My Nan has just finished this so it‘s finally my turn…
pickThis was a slow burner for me, I was going to give up but so glad I didn‘t.
A wedding, a trip to Spain and spending three days with a ‘fake‘ boyfriend
Who doesn‘t want someone secretly in love with them? The whole story is based on a fake relationship which I was rooting for to become real. There is a lot of banter and the story is based around the work environment.
A cute rom-com and a great debut, can‘t wait for the authors next book 📕

pickThe next in the series…..Elizabeth receives a letter from a colleague with whom she has a long history. The story involves the mob, diamonds and a threat to life. Elizabeth and her friends join forces once again to hunt for the ruthless murderer.
This friendship group is a mix of sweetness, smartness and humour. This book is a superb display of great characterisation. Never underestimate the older generation!! I can‘t wait to read the next one!
Look what the girls made today 😋
I sat and continued reading the tagged book!

I completed my goal earlier than I thought! Plenty of travelling in the car on holiday definitely helped! Two great books for this Readathon. May even have time to fit in a third one 📖
#readathon
pickAn incredible story about history and the importance of family.
The story centres around Leo and his best friend Sangeeta. The class is studying WWII and on a museum visit, Leo notices his name on the wall and so begins Leo‘s search to discover his history.
The main themes of this middle grade book are friendship and family. Prejudice is gently introduced and the author highlights historical racism throughout the book.
