  1. Happy New Year everyone šŸ˜Š Hope it is filled full of health and happiness and lots of really good books!
  2. February 1983 He would never have believed it if you'd told him a year ago. That he'd be standing in an empty shop with a baby in a pram, seriously considering putting in an offer. How To Find Love In A Bookshop by Veronica Henry "What are you doing here, child? This is no place for a little lass like you. Come on, tell me your name." Emerald Star by Jacqueline Wilson February 2020 My husband doesn't recognise my face. I feel him staring at me as I drive, and wonder what he sees. Nobody else looks familiar to him either, but it is still strange to think that the man I married wouldn't be able to pick me out in a police line-up. Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney
  3. Lonely this Christmas by Mud I love that story of how Gene Autry got the title for his song šŸ˜Š
  4. My part in the affair started on September 18th, when my chief sent for me and told me he was transferring me to Saxmere on the East Coast. The Breakthrough by Daphne Du Murier When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn Father Brian Flynn the curate in St Augustine's Rossmore, hated the feast day of St Ann with a passion that was unusual for a Catholic priest. Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy
  5. My partner and I bought our first house and last week got the keys. That was wonderful in itself. The sellers had left us a card and a bottle of rose champagne.

    Hello...

    Hi and welcome, Karen
  7. On my currently reading list Rereading Animal Farm. Thirteen Problems Agatha Christie A Storm Of Swords G Martin
  8. Hope you had lovely anniversary muggle ā¤
  9. Recently finished The last two in the Chocolate Lovers series. The Christmas and Wedding. I have enjoyed this as a whole. Loved the first book of the series and it got me wanting more. The last one however I found myself getting slightly infuriated by how unrealistic a lot of it was. The author also had some very good side stories that would have been so much better if they were focused on more. One very annoying aspect was the MC saying/thinking "chocolate gives of endorphins or something/or whatever." This is not exactly what was written but just trying to say the author constantly writing or something all the time. I guess unnecessary dim-witted characters especially when they don't need to be is not a trope I like. However having said all that I gave the books (4 in total) 5* 4* 4* 3* respectively. So I did actually like them despite my moaning šŸ˜… I have also recently finished A Clash Of Kings. I did start quite straight away on the 3rd book so I wasn't losing where I was. I put it down for a while as I was not feeling it at one point but when I picked it back up I seemed to not want to stop reading. The only thing is the many POV and all the main and minor characters I find it difficult to keep up. I am currently reading Emma another book I have been reading for some time with the fact i lost it at one point and also The Lovliest Chocolate Shop In Paris again reading for a few months due to not been in the mood for it at one point. Thoroughly enjoying both though. Other than that in between those have read a lot of children's.
  10. I can honestly say I am enjoying reading them very much. My ratings for them this time are varied a couple 1 and 2 stars about 1 5 stars and the rest 3 and 4. I am on about the 12th story. What I like is not remembering how the stories go and end for most of them. Some I am sure I never even read first time round.
  11. I have set myself a target of books read on GoodReads as I find it fun to do, but my main aim is to thoroughly enjoy what I read. So I will be choosing as carefully as I can. I am hoping to move into a new home this year which will take priority. I am currently making my way through GooseBumps series for nostalgia purposes so maybe finishing that
  12. The really weird thing about it was that although I knew, instantly, that something was wrong - very, very wrong, something sharp,something very serious; an insult to my entire body - I couldn't stop laughing. Laughing hysterically. The Loveliest Chocolate Shop In Paris by Jenny Colgan
  13. Finished a goosebumps Let's Get Invisible not one of my favourites and Haunted Whitby by Alan Brooke. I have started on The Red Gloves & Other Stories by Catherine Fisher and going to start on The Lovliest Chocolate Shop In Paris by Jenny Colgan. I want to read a few spooky stories this month and look forward to reading more Christmassy reads from next month.
  14. I have acquired a handful of books recently. Three I have borrowed from a family member and the rest bought in the last week. The Girl In The Green Dress by Cath Staincliffe Cuckoo by Julia Crouch The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton Confessions of a Forty Something F##K Up by Alexandra Potter The Red Gloves & Other Stories by Catherine Fisher Cold Hearted by Serena Valentino Night Music Night JoJo Moyes Gangsta Granny by David Walliams Hope and Happiness in Bluebell Wood by Ali McNamara I am starting to get excited about reading again. According to my goodreads hadn't read for Over 8 weeks and most recent books read have been my nephews'. But as always I can add to my collections much faster and more easier than I can read them šŸ˜
