  1. What a great history! If I ever travel nearby, I will definitely get some ice cream. I want the peachy one šŸ˜„. My favourite ice cream place here is Henley ice cream. Iā€™d link to them but their website seems to be having issues, so hereā€™s a picture! The building is older than the actual company (itā€™s from the 16th century). They won an award for having the best ice cream in the country before
  2. I felt the same way about this one. It was an intriguing concept but there was something missing. I also found the purpose of the relationship to be confusing. Almost as though the author intended for there to be a romance at the beginning, then changed their mind? This one sounds interesting and (although I know this shouldnā€™t be the important thing) I love the cover!
  3. This makes me even more excited to read it šŸ˜„
  4. Ooooh it wasnā€™t that one, but I just looked it up and that one sounds good!! The one I read was by Alexandra Bell. Itā€™s very like a YA book (not that thereā€™s anything wrong with that, I just wasnā€™t expecting it) only with some particularly dark references which would have made it unsuitable for YA. Not a huge spoiler, but if you want to know what the unsuitable theme was: I hope I will too, I like it so far but Iā€™m only one chapter in! šŸ˜„
  5. I think it was inspired by it, yeah! Iā€™m glad you liked it! Iā€™ve finished The Winter Garden. I did enjoy it overall but itā€™s not the kind of book Iā€™d immediately recommend to everyone. In fact, I can imagine some people really disliking it. Full review to come soon! I had to really think about what other winter books I owned and ended up choosing The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse. Iā€™m fairly sure the whole thing is set in winter but it definitely begins there, in January!
  6. Fox Lane Books have it, if you want to get it from an indie bookshop but donā€™t mind ordering https://www.foxlanebooks.co.uk/product-page/the-whispering-muse
  7. Ok, that is extremely cute! The noise is not so cute (but does sound a bit like theyā€™re complaining after a long day šŸ˜„). That is hilarious . Sneaky possum. You can keep them as pets!?
  8. That makes sense. I wonder whether the stoats and ferrets were introduced to keep the numbers of rabbits down. I also think theyā€™re cute šŸ˜„ although Iā€™ve never seen one in person, only in pictures and on American TV shows! I didnā€™t know about the screeching either though! I like the way the babies ride around on the motherā€™s back.
  9. Thank you @lunababymoonchild and @France! I obviously haven't been keeping up very well with new releases because I just added a lot of new books to my wish list
  10. And they look up as if to say ā€œexcuse me?ā€ šŸ˜„. I also second @France, they have the best ears. Thatā€™s a lot of invasive species! I actually didnā€™t know that you have possums in New Zealand. The most interesting mammals I can get in my garden are foxes and hedgehogs (although I do like seeing both, especially hedgehogs) šŸ¦”.
  11. Aww! Well it has been quite mild so fingers crossed! What an amazing view, I love deer. I did not know theyā€™d eat flowers like pansies though!
  12. Sorry, I didnā€™t explain what I meant properly! It reminded me of A Christmas Carol because
  13. That was a good one! I kind of wish it was a longer story so I really liked Jess Kiddā€™s contribution (because you know I love Victorian supernatural things). Stuart Tauntonā€™s one felt like a very dark version of A Christmas Carol!
  14. I came here to post the same thing, I finished it last night šŸ˜„. It really was a brilliant collection, they had some great authors with unique styles and varying degrees of creepiness! Did you have a favourite story @lunababymoonchild?
