Nice little book which has come out at the right moment for me as I am currently on Maternity leave for having twin girls. Given me the hope and support that I needed as I have been struggling some days even though my partner is very supportive this has spoken to me and made me realise that I am not the only struggling as many women don't like to admit it because they feel like they have to be perfect all the time.

TheBookHippie I tell every young mom I‘ve ever mentored there were days that were so hard I thought I was a complete failure and days I actually loathed motherhood. Anytime I say or write this I get all kinds of hatred. I think all emotions need to be said, and felt ..Congratulations on your daughters ! How lovely to have such light enter your worlds. ♥️♥️ I hope the transition out of leave goes well. 3d
Birdsong28 @TheBookHippie Thank you for sharing your experience. It is such a hard time and many people just gloss over the hard bits but I think it's a story that needs to be told as it's better to tell the truth of it so that people realise that the hard times and feelings are valid as when you hear about other people having the same experience you feel better and realise that it's ok and not to be considered shameful to feel this way. 3d
Birdsong28 @TheBookHippie Thank you for the congratulations and thank you for the well wishes on my transition out of leave. 3d

TheBookHippie @Birdsong28 it‘s so very very important. I was a volunteer Doula for teen moms for 28 years. I told the truth and I maintain it saved lives. I also taught them when it gets too much put the baby in the car seat strap them in and put them in the crib and call me. We had a system. A lot of it sounds a bit wacky /but motherhood is hard. Saying it isn‘t is lying to yourself. IMO. 3d
julesG @TheBookHippie You're a treasure!!! 💕💕 2d
julesG Congratulations on being a new mum to twins! It's certainly double the joy, but also doubly hard. Being a mum, especially being a new mother, is hard. It can feel lonely sometimes. It overwhelmes you sometimes. And I wanted to run away from it all so many times. I'm not going to pretend it gets a lot easier, it gets easier though. They grow, become independent and you get some independence back. But, I've been a mum for 19.66 years now 😉 and ⬇️ 2d
julesG I still worry about them and question decisions I made about my children years ago. That's something I wish I could do without since I can't change the past. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d
TheBookHippie @julesG I try. 💜 2d
julesG Give us a shout if you need to vent. 2d
Birdsong28 @TheBookHippie Yes I agree with julesG you are a treasure and thank you for your support with me. 2d
Birdsong28 @julesG Thank you for the congratulations and thank you for your story it helps to know that other people have gone through it and come out the other side. Thank you for the offer to vent it's good to know that there is support out there ❤️. 2d
TrishB Congratulations ♥️ I agree with all that‘s been said so won‘t repeat! Look after yourself. 2d
Birdsong28 @trishb Thank you for the congratulations. Thank you for your support ❤️ 2d
BookmarkTavern Congratulations on the twins! And isn‘t it lovely how books show us how not alone we are? We‘re here for you too here when you need to vent. 💖 2d
Birdsong28 @BookmarkTavern Thank you for the congratulations. Yes it is lovely how books help you, that is the beautiful power of books. Thank you for your support ❤️. 2d

Good. Story about two people trying to get a job writing an old socialite's biography. The old socialite gives me Evelyn Hugo vibes which I enjoyed. I enjoyed this book incredibly but it felt like I was taken out of the story when you were being told the socialite's story which jarred a little bit for me. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.

Very good. Full of romance. Josie Silver just keeps on getting better with every book. This story follows Kate who takes on the role of an author as the actual author doesn't want to be associated with the book. Shows the highs and lows of social media. Full of bookish goodness. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.

Good. A must read. I listened to the audiobook version of this. I wasn't Paris's biggest fan going into this but I got the audiobook on a daily deal and thought why not it would be interesting to see what she has to say. It was so much more than interesting it was shocking, emotional and funny, I have a new found respect for her and her journey, by the end of the book I was crying real tears as it was just so heartbreaking and raw.

Good. Nice fantasy story. I read this for Goodreads Epic Quest challenge and even though I hadn't read the ones preceding this it was still enjoyable but I do recommend that you read the others first.

Good. Nice romantic story. Even though by the end I was left with more questions than answers as the main reason for the story was never revealed to you and another storyline was introduced half way and never got resolved, it was still enjoyable.
