10 Books That Raised Me

August 1, 2016

I love reading, I always have. I always have a book on me so if I get a spare moment I can whip it out and become engrossed in a second. I even remember when I was at school as young as 8 years old I would read in any free time we had. I … More 10 Books That Raised Me

Book #3 of 2021 Reading Challenge - SNOW by John Banville. Been a bit of a slower start to this year, but I have read some brilliant books. This one is no exception! The story is true to the title, the way suspense is created makes you feel like you are walking alone in the snow and all you can hear is the crunch of footsteps...such a lovely, non-frilly, stark murder mystery.β„οΈπŸ‘πŸ» ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #reading #readingchallenge2021 #readingchallenge #getreading #bookworm #books #snow #johnbanville #booklover #bookrecommendations #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #readingcommunity #metime #relax
Book #1 of 2021 Reading Challenge - Hardback and chocolate to start a relaxing weekend. What more could you want?! β€οΈπŸπŸ“š This was a throughly entertaining and β€˜easy’ read (in a good way!). The characterisation is brilliant, would make an excellent sitcom! I could immediately picture all the characters and settings in my head and connected with them all - I cannot wait for the next one in the series! An overall humorous but very well thought out murder mystery and a bit of a different take. Enjoyed very much and superbly written in a way that is accessible to all! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thursdaymurderclub #richardosman #newbook #reading #books #hardback #goodreads #goodreadschallenge #readingchallenge #readingchallenge2021 #firetree #chocolate @firetreechocolate #relax #selfcare #metime #bookstagram #blogging #blogger #weekend #saturday
