The bloody Dairy Book of Home Cookery was by my bed. I have just been using it to lean on, as the diary is as flimsy as anything, but it must have looked like I read rice-pudding recipes to go to sleep. I don't, by the way. It just looked like such a cliche - fat girl reads food as well as eats it.

This has been on my list for a while and somehow it just feels right (for me) for the upcoming holiday. Dare I say, this is another book set in the 1980's (it's okay I love it!), this time in a small town in Lincolnshire England. I'm on page 19 so far and while I'm enjoying it, I realized I have to keep my notebook or phone nearby (I suppose I usually do) to look up some of these British slang words and phrases to get the full comedic experience.

Finished All the Missing Girls just in time. It's due and there are over 20 holds on it at the library. I didn't think I was going to like this book but I really did. It kept me in suspense until the end and I truly enjoyed the story being told in reverse. Totally captivating!

I'm on page 144 and am having a difficult moment with the current scenes of this book. So far I've thoroughly enjoyed it but right now it's breaking my heart and I'm scared to keep moving forward. #currentlyreading #hex
