I find myself needing to carve out a tiny slice of joy each day at the moment. In Feb I am going to take part in #riotgrams to do just that. Today a shelfie.

Lovely, funny, excellent book. Great characters, fun comic/book con behind the scenes action and a great love story. 👏👏👏❤❤❤👍👍👍

Book post from the weekend.

Getting ready for Book Riot Book Group today with a lunchtime dip into this #riotread

I an sure I will have a more thoughtful response to jt soon. But here, 30 mins after finishing. I am full of happy tears. Really looking forward to seeing it in October!!!

Here we go...

Right, I've hit 20 hours and I am knackered and need to get ready work, so I am going to do some chores and listen to this and then call it a day! 2108 pages read, six books finished, two started and will finish, one DNF and two hours of audiobook done. My first #24in48 was a joy and good for the soul. Thanks everyone for letting me see what you are reading and add to my TBR.

Reading and knitting for a bit now. I'm not very good at doing things while I knit but baby gifts don't knit themselves! #24in48

I was sure I had read this but a quick skim in the library yesterday persuaded me otherwise. So here we go! #24in48

Brilliant collection of comics in '24 by 7'. Particularly loved Dan Berry's, Sarah McIntyre's and Joe Decie's. Hour 16 over here and I am at 5 books completed, one book started but not finished and 1688 pages read. #24in48. Definitely not going to manage 24 hours, but still having fun.

Not actually reading The Suitcase now, am reading this anthology produced for The Lakes comic festival, but Litsy doesnt have this listed! So far I am loving the comics. Sarah McIntyre's was a joy! #24in48

I loved this journey through Miller's reading challenge. Touching and funny. Also indulged my love of a list. Four books done, two started. #24in48 15.5 hours done.

Freya has come to join #24in48

Hour 14 of #24in48 and I have taken a break from Daphne for this book while my iPad charges!

Book four of #24in48 and hour ten. Don't think I will quite hit 24 hours but I plough on regardless! Loving this book about Daphne DuMaurier's obsession with Branwell Brontë.

Hour five and I had a bit of an audiobook break while I performed my catsitting duties. Now back on the sofa with a book. #24in48

Read number one of #24in48 done. Enjoyed it, and it was a nice light read to stretch my reading muscles out. Its a bit chilly out so have retreated to the sofa. Back to the Mhairi McFarlane now!

Been cuddling a tiny baby this morning so its been a slow start to #24in48 but now I am go. I love Mhairi McFarlane so looking forward to kicking things off with this one!

Off to Rome tomorrow so am obviously rereading this before I start sightseeing

Holidaying on an island off the coast of Naples seems an ideal spot in which to read these!

Up now!

I also finished this yesterday. A spot of jury duty early this week led to a lot of reading time!

Coffee essential because I stayed up till 1am to finish this book.

I am not, but this book is superb. My pregnant pal loaned me this and said it is the perfect description of how she is feeling right now.

Well this is charming, looking forward to starting the series on iPlayer tonight ❤️

Started reading this this morning and then suddenly I was late to meet my colleague for pre-work coffee and I was 1/3 way through it. Desperate to go to bed and finish it.

Starting this now. Seen so many friends recommend it, excited to start!

This is up next! #booksiboughtinCanada

This was my other plane read, I needed a familiar pal and Marian Keyes is a favourite ❤️. Sobbed, obviously.

Read this on my flight home from NYC yesterday. Perfect, pacey reading for a journey. It wasn't as good as I had hoped but enjoyed myself nonetheless.

This book is super and scared the crap out of me.

This comic book guide to NYC was charming and the perfect companion to my all-too brief stay. Looking forward to exploring spots from it when I return in December ❤️🇺🇸

Am taking the train from Toronto to NYC and this is perfect for whiling away the 13 hours.

I loved this short comic from the creator of Photobooth.

Well this was delightful and made me cry. The story of Emma's love for France, her marriage, the impact of grief and how living abroad can feel very very strange indeed.

Marking and working put paid to reading for a bit there, but I am kicking my holidays off with this one. 👍

Catching up with my comics from the past six months. Loving this ❤️

Holiday reading.

I read this first as a teenager and then decided to revisit it this week when I was in the need of something familiar. Love a family epic.

Here we go you gorgeous comic. I have missed you so!

Today's work time listening.

Procrasti-reading continues with a tiny bit of my fave Denise Mina ❤️💛💚💙💜

Soothing my CHVRCHES hangover with some more Rainbow Rowell. Think this is the last one for now though. Fancy a nice detective story next.

My MM reread continues apace with this little sobfest!

Up next, I started this in the depths of phdwoe and couldn't concentrate. Time to try it again!

Thanks to @brenna for the tip. Loved it, 😭😍

Old book friends are the best friends.

❤️ dipped into this for ten minutes and then now I have finished it and am super sad it is over. What can I read next that will satisfy me? (Not Eleanor and Park, I have read that!)

Up next.

Maybe I should have read Fangirl first, but once I realised I was too engrossed. I enjoyed myself nonetheless. 👍
