Quite possibly the best book I have ever read. I absolutely loved this. Circe is the powerful, fearless and incredibly visible female character that sometimes as a woman you need to come across and learn something from. Beautifully written, so much rich content and magic in a relatively short read. Just amazing - will stay with me for a long time. And I WILL be going to Greece in Summer, I‘ve decided! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loving these cosy Christmas evenings, spent reading in bed 🎄♥️

Loving this so far!

Wow wow wow. I loved this one. It literally put the "power" in powerful. Hints of The Handmaid's Tale but also incredibly different. Thought provoking and chilling. I started off wishing that all women had a powerful awakening (Buffy style ??‍♀️) but quickly changed my mind ?. A must-read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am on page 47 and I already love this book.

I wasn't really sure what I expected from this one, but it was an enjoyable read and a great little story with a good mix of characters. For me, it was just lacking something and I was a little bit underwhelmed by the ending. Saying that, it was a solid 3.5/5 and I would definitely recommend for a light holiday read.

Onto the next! 🤓

Margaret Atwood at her best - outstanding. I'd say that I loved it, but I don't know if this is a book to be loved. It is one to terrify you and shake you out of complacency or acceptance of the status quo. And it is unforgettable. I found the themes, and how they are reflected in our world today, chilling but important references. Atwood said that everything that happens in this book has some root in history - now that's an eye opener! Read it!

Being at the Hay Festival has indulged my book splurges 🤣🙈 #hayfestival

Seeing Margaret Atwood live at the Hay Festival was SUCH a treat. She is an awesome human!

Just seen Laura Bates talking about #everydaysexism at Hay Festival. What an inspiring woman! Have any of you guys read any of her books?

This book. Wow. I love it when a book that has sat on your shelf for months, overlooked, hits you hard with all the feels. Guys, if you read one book this year, make it this one. It is powerful, but tender. It is at times heart warming and at times utterly devastating. I cannot stress it enough: read it! You'll never forget it. It even got me out of bed at 6am for a sneaky read. Up there with A Little Life for me which we all know says a lot! 👏🏻

I cannot even express how much I am loving this book! I read it on the train to work, think about it all day, and then read it whenever I can in the evening! Who else has read it?! No spoilers please!

A part of me will always be in Neverland 🗺

Happy birthday J.M. Barrie.

Started this one today. And it has been a glorious hot weekend in the UK (for once), so this has been one hella good day! 📖 🌺 💦

Every book should be read with the smell and sound of the beautiful ocean 🌊. I really enjoyed this one, an easy read with a good story (although I would say that I do feel the suburban America setting has been a tad overdone!). Definitely a solid summer read, but not one that you will remember forever and ever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I absolutely loved this one - and it showed, I devoured it in less than a week whilst working a hectic week! Although the plot was nowhere near the best I have read, it really didn't matter and I just loved Eleanor and rooted for her so much! Surprisingly a laugh out loud book at times too. Read it, I dare you. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So, last night I went to The Gatsby in Dubrovnik. Awesome. I will leave it there. ✌🏼

Spending the day reading 📖 the best thing about holidays 🌝

Trying to decide my next read. All lends from my lovely friend @JillR ! What do you guys think?! (bearing in mind I am on holiday next week so want a more holiday feel!) #decisions

This is so me in work (minus the mean colleagues). Such a tea snob. In fact it links to my last book - as part of my mission to be more happy and positive I had a lunchtime trip to Whittards for a loose tea strainer and some posh tea for my desk! 🙊

Excited for this one. Heard some great things ✌🏼

I found this book irritating at first (I am a natural pessimist and found some of the cliché phrases on happiness tedious), HOWEVER that did not last. I raced through this book and found it both thought-provoking and profound and just what I needed.I am now embarking on my own little mission of happiness and I am committed to doing something every day to ground myself & achieve it - so, guys, any tips on little daily habits that make you happy?!

I finished this one a few weeks ago and it was a frustrating read mainly because I couldn't find the balance with work to get stuck in. However, once I did I enjoyed it. I didn't warm to the characters and I found some of the writing OTT and not in a style I like, however it really picked up and I really enjoyed the second half when the perspective switched. I would give it 3/5 but would still recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Today is International Day of Happiness and what better book to be reading. I have been stuck in a major rut and feeling glum for a long time and this book is really breaking through! Sometimes you have to acknowledge you need a change of mindset and do things every day that make a small difference.

I love a Sunday. 💕

Today I am in Oxford, England. 📖

I have been terrible at reading recently with work being so intense and I have decided enough is enough! I need to read for at least an hour a night. I'm calling this my end of January resolution. SO I am really making my room relaxation central, including this beautiful scent 👌🏼how do you guys switch off and relax?! Tips welcome!

Saturdays 😊

Yep. same. 😂

Starting this one today! Review for Never Let Me Go coming up when I have the energy!

Love a Sunday. ✌🏼 hope yours is equally chilled!

Thank f*ck its Friday! It's cold and a little bit damp, but nothing is getting in the way of my good mood today. How are you all spending your weekend?! December already! 😮 where does the time go?

That Sunday feeling 🍂

This was one of those books that really hit the spot. It made me laugh out loud and then sob (in public!). Gotta be read! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I'm not a big fan of Christmas. It's too commercial and overbearing. But I do like some select aspects of it, one being the Christmas drinks! First gingerbread latte of the year, curled up on the couch with my book. I choose what parts of Christmas I enjoy and make my own winter holiday. It's starting to feel a lot like [my low key] Christmas... ❄️☃️☕️

I'm back! And I like this quote.... 😘 🐝

Been really struggling to read lately. My concentration isn't there - working too hard and lost my reading spark! So anyway I finally picked up a collection of Roald Dahl's short stories and they have filled the void and got me going again! I will be back to full length books in no time 👍🏼

Have I died and gone to heaven?!

Barter Books for the win 📚

So I'm working around the clock and I'm tired and a little grumpy. I have also had no time to read - 50 pages in around 9 days. Massive boo. But managed to grab 20 minutes of reading with lunch 👏🏻

Onto the next! I am reading so slow at the moment - my brain is elsewhere and can't get my chill on! Hoping this will pick me back up! What do you guys do when you just can't relax?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (wild Saturday night...)

I think I know where I get it from! My dad's "library in the making" ??☝??

Brought a nice stack of reads home from the parents' house ✌🏼📚 #tbr

I had the best reading buddy today 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
