The Electrical Venus

Reading on the MRT is never easy. The seats are narrow and I have wide shoulders and I feel the need to compress myself a bit next to these strangers. Almost everyone, young and old, are on their phones. The 20-something guy next to me was watching Big Bang Theory, the 20-something girl next to me had some Korean TV show on her phone. No one is reading or at least I can‘t see anyone with a book, as I pull out mine

That was fun! Wonderful characters and a great story. I just wish the characters had more of a back story as they were all so interesting. #readersfirst

Both boys are asleep. I'm so behind on my reading having been in agony with joint pain, headaches and loss of appetite the past couple of days. Not sure what happened but on the mend. 🙌
Time to make some happy hormones by completing at least 2 of these before the month is out. I shall post questions for the #cobabbuddyread tomorrow everyone, I PROMISE.

Sophoclessweetheart How are you finding The Light Fantastic and The Electrical Venus? 😍😊 7y

laurieluna @Wanderingwithwords The Light Fantastic is funny as always, and The Electrical Venus has been as easy, entertaining read. I really like the layout but I would have liked more back story for the characters maybe? X 7y

Sophoclessweetheart It‘s a great one, isn‘t it? 😹 It made me fall in love with Rincewind. Lol. Yes! I‘d have liked to know more about the characters but I couldn‘t help but adore the book! It‘s hit my favourites list! I still think bout it x 7y

laurieluna @Wanderingwithwords they're such interesting characters. Would have been great to find out more about how they all came together, and maybe some longer 'flashbacks' to Hildy. She sounds interesting. Xx 7y

5000/5 stars. All the damn stars! A universe! I‘ve done a poor amount of reading today, a mere 4hours 1min and 46seconds Of #25inFive but in that time I finished a full 200+ page book that has made me cry, laugh and love. It is beyond words. A new favourite! I can‘t even process this right now so my review is still to come. #arc #bookblogger #booklover #historicalfiction #bookaddict #bookish #bibliophile #hotkeybooks

Andrew65 I need to get hold of this book. 😊 Well done on a great start. 👍 7y

Beginning #25infive with The Electrical Venus by Julie Mayhew, out in the sunshine whilst the little ones play cars and splashing in puddles. This one is shorter than I thought at 268 pages so let‘s see how long it takes to finish. The Electrical Venus is out April 19th 2018 and published by Hot Key Books. I got this copy via Readers First but am ironically a reviewer for HKB too! 😅 #hotkeybooks #bookblogger #booklover #bookish #arc #newrelease

rubyslippersreads Great cover! 7y

Andrew65 Good luck, that looks an interesting book. I too like the cover. 😊 (edited) 7y

Sophoclessweetheart @rubyslippersreads Isn‘t it! 😍💛 7y

Sophoclessweetheart @Andrew65 Thank you Andrew. It‘s set in Georgian England so I am quite excited! 7y

Some great books up for preview and coming up on #readersfirst for UK littens! A quick 200 character review enters you into a draw to win the book! They do ask you to review it before it's due for publication, if possible. This is where I got my current read, To Kill A Kingdom from! 😊

Birdsong28 Can't wait for

The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae: A perfect read for those who loved ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE

laurieluna @Birdsong28 I still need to read Lost For words by the same author that I received when I first signed up 🙈 but this one does look good! 7y

Birdsong28 @miralunasbooknook So do I!! It's part of my #mounttbrchallenge so if I can get her next book for free then I will!!! 📚📖 7y
