My inner geek loved this history of the London Underground, my favourite read of February

pickThis is an interesting tour of how the London Underground developed, and how it in turn caused London to develop and expand. It details the rivalries between the companies that originally owned the individual lines, and the key players who made the system what it became. The history and the architecture of the system fascinates me.
Book 3 of February
Book 13 of 2024

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

pickThis was a two sitting read for me! Steamy hot start with it being set in a secret sex club where everyone wears masks. Loved the class crossing romance and the character development. My first Eva Leigh and will definitely be reading more! #romance #fatedmates recommendation
First heard this recommended on one of my favorite podcasts #fatedmates - was delighted to find it while browsing the shelves at my local library today. Naturally, I had to check it out!! #romance
so-soHow I‘ve come to this book ranking is a confusing one. Because on one hand I really like the idea of the book, it‘s a unique and never been done before style of writing. Each page is dedicated to a character on a train. Unique = Good thing. But in order for this to be successful, I think it needed to be written by an entirely different person. Because the Pro Thatcher vibes & misleading info on autism is really quite problematic
3 stars ✨

Never have I ever been more p*ssed off by a paragraph in a fictional book. I‘m autistic and this has got me fuming. Like what is even the point in writing this. But at the same time what can I expect from a book which seems rather Pro Thatcher 🤦🏼♀️

I love this little series of extended essays from Penguin. Each one based on one of the tube lines on London. This one takes you on the Metropolitan line out to the suburbs. The closest I‘ll come to travelling across the city for a while! #nfn2020
