Hello everyone and hope you’re doing well, halfway through the week! Today I’m catching you up on what I’m #currentlyreading and it seems I’ve broken my own record - 18 books 🤣 I’m doing better than last time I posted my list with Kingdom Of Asg, I’m 700 pages through, the end is not quite in sight but is round the corner 😅 I’ve also torn through #farfromthemaddingcrowd over the last week and am 50 pages from the end. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for #sapiens which I have very much neglected recently - about halfway through. The end is also nigh for my buddy read with Mr B (not pictured) which we’ve read over an entire year #lightrainssometimesfall New books: After finishing Voyager, I have immediately popped #drumsofautumn the fourth book in the Outlander series on my pile. I’m also reading and loving #theperfectchild which was recommended by my sister @chrissireads My current re-read is #thewhitequeen in my quest to read the Philippa Gregory Tudor novels in order. Then I have my #keeperofkingbookclub choice of #nightshift by Stephen King for the month of January. I’m also a slave to buddy reads, buddy reading #ourshareofnight with @keeperofpages #warandpeace or #whiskyandperseverance with hundreds of bookstagrammers #tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrow organised by lovely @travelseatsreads #gilgamesh with the #meanderingthroughliteraryancienttimes #thefortuneoftherougons hosted by @pezzasclassicbooks and @annathebooksiread #whyhasnobodytoldmethisbefore with @chrissireads Reading on my Kindle: MORE buddy reads of #theherd by #emilyedwards with the #bitcrackbookclub #anythingispossible by #elizabethstrout hosted by @edels_reads and #therosecode for #hfbookclub Finally 😅🤣 I’m listening to #janeyre as part of a Brontë readalong organised by @bookswerestuff I promise, I’m done now.

Hello everyone and welcome to the end of the week, thank goodness 😅 it’s been one of “those” weeks and I’m so glad to get some breathing space and chill out time. This book haul features three hardback books that are all very different to each other, but hey, that’s how I roll! 😉 Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before was recommended by bestie @emmasbookishcorner I think?? 😅 It teaches you how to fortify and maintain your mental health, even in the most trying of times. Dr Julie Smith’s expert advice will help you stay resilient whether you want to manage anxiety, deal with criticism, cope with depression, build self-confidence, find motivation or learn to forgive yourself. I am so here for this book especially after the week I’ve had! I’m joining in a buddy read for Persuasion by Jane Austen at the end of the month so of course I had to get the Penguin clothbound classic to join my others! This is about Anne Elliot who at 27 is “no longer young and has few romantic prospects.” 😱 She was persuaded to break off an engagement 8 years previously to a handsome naval captain, Frederick Wentworth with neither fortune or rank. This is the story of what happens when they encounter each other again. Finally, I have the finished copy of Elektra. The lovely @caitlinraynor was kind enough to send me a proof copy which I buddy read with bestie @keeperofpages Review coming soon but just like Jennifer Saint’s last novel, Ariadne, this is a re-telling of a Greek myth putting women at the helm of the story. I loved it! I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of these books or authors.
