Finding a new book shop is the perfect way to pull yourself out of a reading slump!

I absolutely love the relaxed quirky feel to #Libreria . Thanks #Buzzfeed for the recommendation.

Just finished the Blackthorn & Grim series by Juliette Marillier, it's definitely a 'pick' from me. The first book in the series 'Dreamers Pool' was gripping from the start. The characters were gritty and engaging, you feel involved in their story and you want to follow it through to the end.

My only gripe is that the endings of each book (especially the last) felt rushed and 'convenient'. But that doesn't take away from the enjoyment.

Would someone please explain to me what they liked about this book? Because I am at a loss. After reading the reviews I was looking forward to an amazing read and instead I got a pointless rambling about nothing....

A tad harsh 😂😂😂

If only I could have binned it! The first book was bad but I thought I would give the second a chance... Mistake! Characters are simplistic, poorly written plot, more sex than substance. This is basically erotica with a poorly written story in the background.....

Great #bookclub today @Pheonixlike . Beers, gin and good book talk. I think we agreed on a solid 7/10 for #ReadyPlayerOne but may have become too distracted to rate #ChildrenOfTime so I'm going to go ahead and suggest 7/10 again. Do you agree?

Love the genre. Love the writing. I just found Fanny SUCH a goody two shoes! Plus the casual incest didn't really do it for me either .... Haha

Imagine a world where over night #women find they have the power over life and death , literally, at their finger tips. What world would that create? The characters were well written with great development. The story was engaging and gets you thinking about the state of the world we live in and how easily situations can reach breaking point. Worth a read.

Every now and then it's nice to go back to an old classic. It's even nicer when a little someone decides to join you 👩‍🎓#classic #mrdarcy #prideandprejudice #sunday #relax

I'm looking for some sanity! I read the first two books of Gender Game series, they were just awful. Bad writing, bad characters ruined what could have been a good story. All I keep hearing and seeing everywhere is how good they are and they are the next big series.

Is there anyone out there who agrees with me?
