The Woman who Went to Bed for a Year | 
Guess I reached the point where I could start to cry. It's so sad how her mum and husband have been treating Eva 😢 It's the part where both of them are shopping the food from Eva's list. She was a smart girl, loved to live and everyone just mocked her, her dreams, her way of living and everything she did.
so-soPicked this up at Heathrow Airport in London when we were traveling because the title intrigued me. The title turned out to be the best thing about the book, which is about a woman who hits her breaking point one day after 17 years of taking care of husband, kids and parents and decides to go to bed and stay there. 2 stars.
#sleepingthedayaway - or a bit more!
Townsend‘s books are hubby‘s go to comfort reads.

Discovered #AbbaInAugust in the nick of time! Timeless music I can relate to ;p
This #MammaMia in the tagged book finally shoves her way, following own whims 🤣🤣
pickWell that was different. At first it made me laugh, but by the end it took a darker turn. Not sure how I feel about it. I will give it a pick because it did keep me reading until the end.
On a side note...I really disliked the main character‘s kids and their “friend” from University. Brats!
And that concludes my middle of the night review...got to love insomnia!
Saw this one on my way out of the library and had to get it. Loving it...I can totally relate with this woman. Just going to lie down and deciding to stay in bed....for a year! 😂
pickFun comforting read, a much needed companion during the afflicted day of lethargy and more.
Quirky characters and incredulous idiosyncrasies kept me glued. While the character development was not to my liking, it was mostly a satisfying story.
My #currentread is set in Leeds, England. 2 other books to be completed soon (hopefully)
Congo & Hawaii, USA
Books set in another country - #AprilinBooks18
#friyayintro I can't seem to get a clear shot of the tiny frangipanis (those specks of white ;)) we usually head to hot days here, at this time of the year but it's has been raining almost daily.
One of the few sunny mornings this week in #Singapore
One of my main #currentread for now ;D
This book has kept me giggling and smiling on my commute... Grateful for that!
I especially like raging outbursts without the swearing - plonkers /dingbats /pond life! Haha
I also enjoy scribbling my bookish journo entries... I'll be surprised if I can make out my own handwriting! 😅🤣😆
Everybody knows that Chanel No. 5 is a good antiseptic in an emergency.

I needed a light funny read amidst the fabulously fascinating reads I have been busy with, and planned for.
Townsend came to mind while I was at the library earlier... Oh boy! Perfect choice... Especially when I just received work-related text to drag me away from my reading universe. I so need the laughs
Has anyone ever read Sue Townsend? I started this book last night and found myself laughing out loud a lot. Never read any books by her, but if all her books are this funny, she just earned herself another fan ☺️
panSadly I was a little disappointed by this book as despite reviews about its hilarity I found it pretty bland. There were some good parts but for me it all felt a bit disjointed and like the ending was rushed together.
My next book of choice as wanted something light hearted although not sure that's what this book will be
picka girls gotta do what a girls gotta do kinda book
This is definitely a book I wanted to throw across the room! I disliked almost every character in it and forced myself to hate-read it to the end! #photoadaynov16
so-soWhat an interesting and strange read. Some parts were a little absurd and confusing, and it was dragged out a bit. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quick stop at the bookstore today - look at all those beautiful German classics 😍 I've been in a little bit of a reading slump these past few days. I either feel too tired to read after a long day of work or can't focus when I do pick up a book 😕 any tips on how to beat this?
