pickLoved this coming-of-age story set in Doncaster (Donny) and written in Northern dialect. It even took me a while to get into it and I‘m from the North of England! See what you think! ⬆️🤪
Kel, Shaz and Rach grow up in the 1990s in that typical friendship love-triangle when there‘s 3 of you. The changes in timeline and POV tell the story of the girls‘ growing up and apart but will a long-held secret destroy the friendship for good?

Still reading King albeit slowly and haven‘t made much progress on Do the Work. Reading the #NetGalley ARC of the tagged. Starting CT and Margo today. Still keeping up with my daily reads.
pickI haven‘t used my NetGalley account much lately, but I saw a review of this book & had to look it up. This is a story of a warrior woman bent on vengeance for her husband‘s execution by the king of France. Jeanne de Clisson was a real noblewoman turned pirate during the Hundred Years‘ War. I came to agree with her friend that she followed the course of vengeance too long, but I also loved her story of strength against powerful men of her time.
pickI always think this author is writing about herself when she does short stories. I kind of like it.

pickThis is alternate history. What if the British never left India? A group of young women start their own rebellion in 1960s Mumbai. Stories from their diverse culture are added in and it's all lovely.

Loved it! 😍 I normally bail on a long series after about 5 books, but Connolly never disappoints me and keeps me interested, even after 22 books.
This book leans more into the supernatural as Charlie Parker fights to locate missing children with the help of his daughters. The book is dark and gritty and filled with all the things I love about these books.
pickThere was something very meditative about this book. I found a lot of joy in reading it and letting everything slow down.
The food descriptions were absolutely amazing. The ethos of minimising waste by using leftovers to create new dishes was really inspiring and there was a lot of love put into this aspect of the book.

pickI recently read and enjoyed Kuyatt‘s Good Different, so when I saw this on NetGalley I had to read it as well. V is artistic and autistic, and she‘s not quite looking forward to spending a summer with her very particular grandma Jojo. Then she realizes there‘s a ghost in the walls and starts to learn secrets about women in her family who weren‘t allowed to be their true selves. Must she also conform or will she break the patterns of the past?
