Still incredulous that this is Wales!!
The UK (Wales) is masquerading as somewhere much hotter and more glamorous this week. I've been reading the tagged book in the sunshine today.
Went to Bridge Books in Dromore, NI with my mum, to get some books for my upcoming birthday. My little haul ♥️🩷🧡
Finally it's outdoor reading time. And outdoor napping for 🐕
My selection from Serenity booksellers
More Daisy in bookshops. There was a pet shop next door so she was more interested in that.
If MZ doesn't want people to read this, then I want to read it. It's extremely readable - I'm hooked
I hadn't realized until recently there was this beautiful book shop only 20 mins drive from my house, so Daisy and I paid them a visit. Beautiful shop, well curated, and so friendly.
Book mail! Obsessed with the covers on the bottom too.
I move for one minute, and she steals my seat and all the cushions
Doesn't the sticker mark make you want to weep? Monsters.
The other side of my gizmo mug @squirrelbrain
pickThis was so good. Very noir, very bleak. I'd been aware of the title but had no idea what it was about. I then went down a 1930s depression-era dance marathon rabbit hole 🤯
Enjoying Catalina today
When holiday shopping, I recommend a one for them, one for you system. These are the ones for me.
Traditional (mandatory) pret on the way to London
My haul after meeting the @TrishB for a lovely lunch and browse at Dead Ink books. So fab to see you ❤️
Finally getting to this blind date from Gladstones 2023 from @jenniferw88 . I'm enjoying it so far, Jenny. Reminds me a little of Joanna Harris books.
Spent the morning working at Los Angeles public library. Impressive rotunda action.
Some Hollywood-set horror/satire seemed appropriate for a trip to LA. My first by this author, I have high hopes based on Litsy reviews.
Fire's on #gladstones24
Ready for some reading this weekend #gladstones24
Summer's over, as illustrated by soggy dog.
I'm really enjoying this book though.
The perfect Shetland evening, with a book, a dram, and tiffin from a cake fridge (Shetland caked-based honesty box).
This hotel reminds me a bit of Gladstone's.
My mum is coming to dog sit for me, so I've prepared her a stack of books I think she'll like. Let's see if I can get her to read her second ever Stephen King (Billy Summers was a hit with her).
Love me a deckled edge
pickI've had such a good run of books lately. All The Colours of the Dark, Lula Dean's Little Library, The God of the Woods, and now this. What a good summer. Really enjoyed this one - I adored all the characters, especially Jinx. It's funny, and sweet, and a bit stressful. Recommended.
Following @TrishB 's recommendation and visiting this fabulous bookshop. That bookseller also gave me a lovely free tote (because between me, Mr Oryx and Mr Oryx's sister, we spent a hefty amount). Mr Oryx picked up some lovely kid's books for the nieces.
Took myself on a breakfast date today. Miss Daisy just out of shot.
I'm obsessed with this cover, so I had to buy a physical copy. Really looking forward to this based on Litsy reviews
pickReally great read. I loved the characters, and a really strong story.
It's very rare I get a Kindle book that's not on 99p offer. No regrets on spending full price on this one.
pickI'm very glad the internet wasn't available and social media didn't exist when I was at school. This is horrifying, and feels very real. I really like her writing style though, and flew through it.
