Hello everyone and good morning from the UK 🇬🇧 Today I’ll be joining in with #boycottinstagram2022 and won’t be opening the app from 9am until midnight. I’ll be using this time to read and not be distracted by my phone! 😂 Here’s a book haul until I return. Oh the things I’ve heard about A Certain Hunger! Dorothy Daniels has always had a voracious and adventurous appetite. Dorothy has never been shy about indulging her exquisite tastes - even when it leads to her plunging an ice pick into her lover’s neck. 😳 Next up, another addition to my British Library Tales Of The Weird. It’s called Our Haunted Shores, Tales From The Coasts of the British Isles. This includes stories of woeful shipwreck, lighthouse terrors and uncanny revenants amid the bustle of the harbour side. Finally, Us Three which I was given to read by a friend. I’m COMPLETELY cover judging and it doesn’t normally look like the kind of book I’d pick up but I’m going to give it a chance! It’s the story of three girls, best friends since childhood who swore on a Curly Wurly wrapper that they’d always be there for each other. Something happens that shakes their friendship to the core leaving their future in doubt. There’s simply too much to forgive, let alone forget. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a lovely week everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookhoarder #bookobsessed #bookloverforlife #acertainhunger #chelseagsummers #britishlibrarytalesoftheweird #ourhauntedshorestalesfromthecoastsofthebritishisles #usthree #ruthjones #yesmorebooks #moreforthetbrpile #lovingbookslovinglife #myhouseisfullofbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CgtUM1VrYj8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Us Three by Ruth Jones

This is an uplifting, feel good and funny book with some sorrow that you definitely won’t want to put down. I haven’t read anything by Ruth Jones before so I didn’t know what to expect. I enjoyed this book so much, and I think any woman of a certain age will be able to identify with this book. When we all start to step into adulthood, feeling the we can conquer the world and that there are endless possibilities. As we get older though, our lives don’t always turn out as we expected them to when we were younger.

We follow the lives of Lana Lloyd, Judith Harris & Catrin Kelly, who met at primary school. Which is when they all pledged an oath over a Curly Wurly wrapper to be there for each other forever no matter what.

As the girls grow older and just as they are about to finish their A Levels. They all decide to go on a travelling holiday hopping from one Greek Island to another. They put a lot in to planning this holiday and as they are about to leave it looks like Judith wont be able to go. While Catrin and Lana are waiting in the airport lounge Judith turns up with Gareth Lana’s boyfriend. He saw Judith waiting at a bus stop and offered to take her to the airport. The girls were ecstatic as they were all together again.

While they are on holiday, Catrin falls in love and meets the man she’s going to marry Solomon Blythe. Judith finds out that her step father still has family in Cyprus. When the girls all go to the small village that he grew up in. They end up spending the rest of their time in Cyprus with her extended family. Until it’s time for them to go on to Athens. On their last night in Athens Lana sleeps with an Irish builder she met in a bar, who’s name she can’t remember. Which Catrin and Judith aren’t happy about because means they have to keep a big secret from Gareth.

When they get home from their holiday things don’t go well for Judith. On entering her bedroom she sees that her mother has packed all of he things, along with a note telling her to take her things and that she is no longer welcome there. So she ends staying with the Kelly family until she goes off to university. A few days after staying with the Kelly’s a letter comes through the post from her father telling her that he loves her, but he had to leave and that she needs to look after herself.

The girls just start to settle in to their new collages and university, when Judith has to go back home to look after her mother. Due to this Lana decides that Judith and Gareth should become flat mates. As Judith can’t live with her mother and Lana thinks Gareth could use the company with her being away. Neither of them are particularly happy about this, but they both agree to give it a go.

Lana ends up having a huge shock, when the guy she had one night with in Athens turns up. He has come over from Ireland to work on a big building project. Lana ends up having an affair with him and Gareth ends up finding out. He then finds comfort with Judith and they end up becoming a couple. As they both realise that they have been growing closer and closer together in the time they have been living together.

A little bit down the line Catrin and Solomon get married and Judith and Lana have a spectacular falling out in front of the guests. This falling out lasts for a couple of decades, which always leaves Catrin in the middle. As they both refuse to be in the same place at the same time.

Will Judith and Lana finally start to rebuild their friendship to help Catrin when her life is devastated with loss? Who knows?

Catrin Kelly, Judith Harris, Lana Lloyd! Fell into a muddy ditch and got annoyed, All their clothes they were a-smellin’ So they went back to Coed Celyn Catrin Kelly, Judith Harris, Lana Lloyd!

As I said before I’ve never read anything by Ruth Jones and I’m looking forward to seeing what she writes next.

1st book of 2021... Done 🤍 × × Set myself a target of reading this in one day.... And how easy was that! This was so lovely from beginning to end. It doesn't hold back. It's shows the ups of friendships, love, family and future but also doesn't shy away from the downs of friendship, love & family. I sobbed at certain parts from page 250 onwards. This is truly a book I could see be adapted to a film or a mini series. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ × × 'Friends forever is a difficult promise to keep... Meet Lana, Judith and Catrin. Best friends since primary school when they swore an oath on a Curly Wurly wrapper that they would always be there for each other, come what may. After the trip of a lifetime, the three girls are closer than ever. But an unexpected turn of events shakes the foundation of their friendship to its core, leaving their future in doubt - there's simply too much to forgive, let alone forget. An innocent childhood promise they once made now seems impossible to keep . . . #nowreading #books #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #2021readingchallenge #readingchallenge #UsThree #RuthJones https://www.instagram.com/p/CKExCD1M48X/?igshid=ah0etckpp1ah

SUSJEDOVA TRAVA , Ruth Jones

Još jedna knjiga koja me nadahnula da upotrijebim citat iz Karenjine:” Sve nesretne obitelji nalik su jedna na drugu, svaka nesretna obitelj, nesretna je na svoj način.”

Između Calluma Mc Gegorya i Kate Andrews stoji 17 godina izgubljenih u nadi da će se ponovno susresti, ponovno oživiti ono što je ostalo sačuvano u kutijici. Tako i biva.

Sada naime, osim godina, razdvajaju ih i u…

A sketch show about all the oddball, quirky, and off the wall characters that populate Britain (and for that one season, America). I watched both the four seasons set in Britain and the one season set in America on Hulu and HBONow (and will now probably go watch either The Mighty Boosh, or Summer Heights High.) Even with the 2 part christmas special, and a Little Britain Down Under Special it was all under like 35 episodes for like 5 seasons (one of the pros of British Comedies) The #TomBaker intro and narration 😂👌🏼and the absurdity of some characters was fantastic, some characters were a bit cringy though (that kids show guy - Walliams even got a fan-written letter about it during the Australian tour. and that Bitty guy 😬🤦🏼‍♀️) I’ll definately have to check out more of anything #MattLucas and #DavidWalliams do/have done. If you liked this check out Rhys Darby’s Short Poppies about the people of New Zealand. Fave characters (from both shows): ▶️Anne - “Eh-eh-ehhh” & Dr. Laurence; ▶️Carol Beer - “Computer Says No.”, ▶️Eddie/Emily Howard - “But I’m a Lady!”, ▶️Lou & Andy - “Yea, I know.” “What a kerfuffle.” (Poor Andy!), ▶️Mr. Mann - “I’m looking for...” “Margaret...!”, ▶️The Narrator, ▶️that couple where the hushand is uncomfortable with silence and the wife doesn’t say anything, ▶️Dennis Waterman & Jeremy Rent - the size changes👌🏼, “I can write the seem tune, sing the seem tune...”, ▶️Ray McCooney, and ▶️Ellie Grace and her mother. #sstvshowof2018 #comedy #british #PaulPutner #AnthonyHead #JoannCondon #CharuBalaChokshi #RuthJones (23 eps, ‘03-‘06; 8 eps, 2008) tv shows of 2018 number 3) #LittleBritain and number 4) #LittleBritainUSA https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmFx74HYY-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xlbvhgy8phr3
