it’s tough because they’re first person too and so you’re in her head really, and it’s so annoying sometimes
she is a believable character and her actions (apart from the abrupt changes of opinion) always made sense to me, but that doesn’t make her any less irritating. i love almost all of the other characters too, so it’s a shame the heroine is the weak link. i can’t wait to read with nesta as the lead instead.
Looking for an easy fast read. I have guests, so I don’t want to be anti social but I’d also like the distraction
I was just thinking All The Small Things by Claire Keegan is a short powerful read and set at Christmas 
I’ve just put this on my Amazon Wish List as it’s cropping up on loads of peoples Best Books of the Year lists. However I’m tight so I’m not paying full novel price for something that’s less than 100 pages! It’ll have to wait til and offer comes along.I was just thinking All The Small Things by Claire Keegan is a short powerful read and set at Christmas
Yes I bought it on a 99p deal I think only because it made the Booker Long List and I fancied it.I’ve just put this on my Amazon Wish List as it’s cropping up on loads of peoples Best Books of the Year lists.

Okay its actually called Small Things Like These
ACOTAR really benefits from a re-read. I spotted SO many things on the second read (after having read ACOMAF) that gave me a whole new appreciation for how the story unfolded, and also made me like Feyre a lot more, as I absolutely bloody hated her on the first go through.it’s tough because they’re first person too and so you’re in her head really, and it’s so annoying sometimes

A few months back I was disappointed with the first Will Carver book I’d read.
Well yesterday I started listening to Good Samaritans and was completely gripped by it. I listened to about 8 hours in one day
(my partner went to bed early feeling ill so after my son went to bed I curled up with the pup and spent the night listening!)
It’s a bit smutty
but I do recommend.
I’m going to start the first of my Alex Pine Christmas thriller trilogy tonight
ETA - the first chapter starts “Friday December 16th”

Me too!!Going to add Trespasses to my to read list.
Nicola Sturgeon has published her books of the year. I've either read most of them or have them on my wish list. Would love to be in her book group (not a SNP member but am a fan of Oor Nicola!). AND she has Tresspasses on her list which makes me wonder if she's a secret Tattler lurker
No secret smut books....disappointingView attachment 1813866

Probably on the Kindle like we all doNo secret smut books....disappointing
I have asked for Helena Dixon's Kitty Underhay Murder Mystery books as I currently have six of them but I would like the whole series so I have asked for the other four that I don't have, plus I really enjoyed the one that I did read as it was hard to predict the murderer and when it was revealed it came as a massive surprise.
I haven't asked for a specific book but told my husband to get a Penguin clothbound of his choice for me. He has an english degree and loves the classics but doesn't read at all haha. Every now and then he recommends a book which I enjoy. The last being animal farm.
