It is LivB on Instagram who does the personalized one, she usually does them at the end of the year. She is lovely and she might make you a half year one in or a year from now one..A few pages back someone recommended a personalised notebook to keep track of what they've been reading, can anyone point me in the right direction? I can't find their post now. Or, alternatively, recommend what you use? I like the idea of a digital one but realistically I think if I keep a physical notebook on my bookshelf I will be much more likely to update it and use it

My February consisted of Kindle or Audio books.
I had some tough reads/listens but they were my favourites - I'm glad my Mom died, Betty and Young Mungo.
I really need some lighter ones this month.

I'm about to get to end of mine, which is the Moleskin Book Journal - I think I ordered it on Amazon, but remember them having loads of other options. They are a bit expensive (IMO) but I think I'm going to order one from Papier next, they've just started doing reading journals and the designs are lovely, and can be personalised. I've really enjoyed using mine and the process of filling it out is therapeutic. I also think it's nice to sit and have a think about what I've just read, which it forces me to do after the fact, rather than close it and put it back on the shelf and that's that!A few pages back someone recommended a personalised notebook to keep track of what they've been reading, can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have read Know My Name and Men Who Hate Women. Both excellent.Good morning and happy new monthly kindle deals day to all who observe.
I have bought eight books. All from my wishlist so perfectly acceptable.
Let me know if you also buy any of these or if you've read them before.
Know My Name: The Survivor of the Stanford Sexual Assault Case Tells Her Story - £1.99 but I've had my eye on this for ages so could stretch to the extra pound

Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan
Poor Little Sick Girls: A love letter to unacceptable women
Blade in the Shadow by Jillian Halket
Men Who Hate Women: From incels to pickup artists, the truth about extreme misogyny and how it affects us all

A Tree Grown in Brooklyn - one of you guys recommended this as one of your all time faves. Thank you! It was 61p???!!
I finished Young Mungo today. Can see it being one of my favourites of the year. I think I preferred it to Shuggie Bain. Easy 5 stars
also very glad I decided to listen to the audiobook, the narrator was great and the writing was so beautiful it honestly felt like someone was reading poetry to me at points. Very excited to see what Douglas Stuart does next

Men who hate women is also free on Audible, as is Everyday Sexism, which I'm currently listening to.
Shocking that it was written 10 years ago and could have easily been written yesterday.

I loved it on audible too. Narrator was so good.
I did YM via audiobook too and so glad I did, I'm going to go back and listen to the audiobook of Shuggie in a few months I think as it's narrated by the same guy.
I believe it is, I might do the same
Run Rose Run and Brit Marie are on the Kindle deals today. I've bought Brit Marie but am reluctant to go for Run Rose Run because I loathe Country Western music, how daft is that 
Have to say that March seems miles better in terms of Kindle deals, last month's offers were poor enough.

I am a disgrace however these were nearly all on my wishlist.
Books which I have read and would really recommend on the 99p deals...
Britt Marie Was Here - Fredrik Backman (read my grandmother asked me to tell you shes sorry first imo)
Dirt Town - Hayley Scrivenor (a good mystery book)
Fleishman Is In Trouble - Taffy Brodesser -Akner
Daisy Jones - Taylor Jenkins Reid
Dominicana by Angie Cruz is 99p. I have it already but it looks good.

Dominicana and Motherwell are on my wishlist. I thought the reviews for Motherwell on Amazon were quite mixed, not always leaning towards positive ones.
I read Motherwell a year or so ago, it's at times very witty and funny but it's also quite bittersweet and examines the relationship of the author and her mother. Not a bad book by any means, I'd absolutely recommend it.
I just bought young mungo (have shuggie too but not read yet) and bought the housemaids secret plus a load of books by TJR and Rosemary shragers book 
After taking a slight reading break after finishing The Sleeping and The Dead, I started Til Death Do Us Part by Daniel Hurst yesterday. I'm already 50% through, it's a domestic thriller. It's enjoyable but I find one of the characters so so unlikeable.
I bought Elizabeth of York by Alison Weir today on Kindle for 87p. I've wanted to read some of her books for awhile so I'm glad I found one on sale.

I have had to abandon My Brilliant Friend. My new rule for reading, don’t persevere if by page 50 it is not working out. But it’s so popular. Did anybody else not enjoy it?
I tried with it and sort of got a bit …… bored and just drifted off from it. I am yet to go back to it. But as you say, it’s so popular you feel like it should be worth a go.
Highly recommend In The Blink of an Eye, I really enjoyed it.
