Hello everyone and hope you’re having or had a fun Saturday! I’m just back from the cinema where we saw M3GAN. I’m not sure if I was supposed to laugh so much? 😂🤔 Today for #stacksaturday I’m sharing a #matchyourspinestack and have also matched my books with my pink watermelon 🍉 candle from Avon which smells delicious! Yes, all these books are still on my TBR. Did you need to ask?? 🤣 Have a great weekend everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #booksandcandlesmakemehappy #dollyaldertonghosts #sendnudessabasams #fiftywordsforrain #ashalemmie #poemstofallinlovewith #chrisriddell #feministsdontwearpinkandotherlies #scarlettcurtis #atowncalledsolace #marylawsonauthor #theshadowking #maazamengiste #girlinthedark #annalyndsey #hauntedhouses #lynnetillman #fiftywordsforsnow #nancycampbell https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-GEKGrT4R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mary Lawson's "A Town Called Solace" is told from the perspectives of three characters: an elderly, terminally ill woman in hospital, the young man to whom she left her house, and the little girl who lives next door and whose teenage sister has gone missing. Mary Lawson excels at shifting the tone to show us the world through the eyes of each of her three main characters. This is a darkly humorous and touchingly emotional story that I loved. #reading #literature #books #novel #LiteraryFiction #ATownCalledSolace #MaryLawson #bookworm #BookReview #52BookChallenge #Book51of52 #ReadingChallenge #BookChallenge #52BookChallenge2021 #BookChallenge2021 #ReadingChallenge2021 #bookstagram #BookLover #LibraryBooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CXq0khJosaq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello everyone and welcome to another #stacksaturday post where this Saturday I’m joining in with the #matchyourspinestack challenge! Yessssss these are still on my TBR. 🙈 BUT the book I’m matching the spine to, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves is the next book I’m planning to pick up! That’s progress, right?! As always, I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors, especially if you’ve read or want to read them. I returned back from holiday at 09:30 this morning after a sleeper train ride through the night, then picking up the train home from Waterloo. Pretty exhausted and I think my body hates me 🤣 but planning to chill these next few days and recover as I’m due back at work on Wednesday. Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #lovedoingbooks #weareallcompletelybesideourselves #karenjoyfowlerauthor #ianmcewan #thechildintime #christmasholiday #wsomersetmaugham #tellmeimworthless #josesaramago #alisonrumfitt #blindness #themethod #shannonkirk #vera #elizabethvonarnim #darkskiesajourneyintothewildnight #tiffanyfrancisbaker #skinittakesbloodandguts #girlinthedark #annalyndsey #atowncalledsolace #marylawsonauthor #theshadowking #maazamengiste #booksineedtogetto https://www.instagram.com/p/Clbue28r34B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone, welcome to the start of the week with another paperback book haul! Again, I couldn’t resist ordering these beauties, two as pre-orders and one to add to my growing collection of translated fiction books from @tiltedaxisbooks A Town Called Solace was longlisted for the Booker prize in 2021 so that automatically made it a “must preorder.” Clara’s rebellious older sister is missing. Grief-stricken and bewildered, she yearns to uncover the truth about what happened. Secondly, my new translated fiction book, Strange Beasts Of China by Yan Ge, translated by Jeremy Tiang. In the fictional Chinese town of Yong’an, human beings live alongside spirits and monsters, some of which are almost indistinguishable from humans. Told in the form of a bestiary, each chapter of Strange Beasts introduces us to a new creature - from the Sacrificial Beasts who can’t seem to stop dying to the Besotted Beasts, an artificial beast designed by scientists to be as loveable as possible. The narrator is on a mission to track down as many breeds as possible but in the process discovers she may not be as human as she thought. Finally, The Galaxy And The Ground Within which is the fourth book in the Wayfarers series. I really need to catch up on this series 🙈 I’ve only read The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet and I have the rest of the books waiting on my shelves. The writing is absolutely terrific and gave me some comfort that perhaps I could really enjoy science fiction as a genre. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments and have a great week everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookstagrammer #bookhoarder #bookhaul #bookheaven #beautifulbooks #paperbackhaul #atowncalledsolace #marylawson #strangebeastsofchina #yange #jeremytiang #thegalaxyandthegroundwithin #beckychambers #wayfarersseries #literaryfiction #sciencefiction #bookerprize2021 #booksaremylife https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOIlV4LjQg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
