This has proper tickled me
This has proper tickled meJust started The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, enjoying it very much. I would have continued to read it last night but my cat hates having the light on (i know, she’s spoilt) so I grabbed the kindle and started reading Daisy Darker. Stayed up far too late reading it but it’s fantastic so far!
Yup. Defo delete. Social media destroys our attention span and makes us crave the instant dopamine hit rather than the slower releasing and stabilising enjoyment from healthier pursuits! Fresh air and sunshine are transformativeOh yea I definitely struggle with my mental health - been a lifelong battle. I don’t think I’ve dipped far enough for me to think anything major is going on but just in a proper funk. Probably a good place to try and change things up a bit, like get outside and eat a bit better to see if that all perks me up and gets me back on track. I also think I need to delete TikTok - it’s the only social media I’m on and I’ve fallen too far into its grip this last few weeks.
Aww I'm sorry I can really relateOh yea I definitely struggle with my mental health - been a lifelong battle.

I think I’ve been subconsciously reaching for comfort and doing some rereads recently. I need to figure out what my next one may be - have done Harry Potter, The Hunger Games recently annd Eleanor Oliphant recently. Need to work out what my next one will be.Aww I'm sorry I can really relatesending good vibes your way. Getting outside is a good idea, it always helps me but is tough to even motivate to do that sometimes! When I'm in a funk I choose easy going books or ones I've read before and loved, makes it a bit more manageable than something intense/that you're unsure if you'll enjoy.
I get paws and tail to the face until I turn the light off, then she’ll settle down on her cushion/throne all smug like she knows she owns meThis has proper tickled meI thought my cat was a diva but this might beat her! Love to see a cat spoilt as they deserve
I finished Just Got Real in April. I liked it, a quick feel good book.I started Just Got Real by Jane Fallon. Saw someone mention it here and noticed I had it in my kindle library. It is proving to be a good choice, engaging and easy a read.
Much needed. Especially after reading Unsettled Ground over the weekend. A really beautifully written book but just a little darker than my current mood should meet!
Oh maybe you’re the one that inspired me then!I finished Just Got Real in April. I liked it, a quick feel good book.
I don't know how to do spoilers and knowing my luck, I'll try and give it away so all I'll say is it's not the story you line you expect is it? I think that's why I enjoyed it.Oh maybe you’re the one that inspired me then!Just got halfway through and maybe I’m a dope but didn’t see that coming! Shit just got interesting
Oh it’s very easy once you know how! Just select from the “…” drop-down here, hit the spoiler button, and then put the spoiler bit in betweenI don't know how to do spoilers and knowing my luck, I'll try and give it away so all I'll say is it's not the story you line you expect is it?

One of my favourites of recent years too.Finished Ask Again Yes earlier. Definitely one of my favourites so far this year. I was really invested in the characters and have a bit of a book hangover now!
Agree with this! So so excited for her next out later this year.One of my favourites of recent years too.the walking people is another lovely one of hers, not quite as good I didn’t think but that only means 4* rather than 5!
Oh no! I reserved it on borrow box but then when it was available I wasn’t in the mood. I need someone else to read it for me and tell me what to do!Agree with this! So so excited for her next out later this year.
Has anyone read Fever by her? It sounds interesting but very different to Ask Again Yes and The Walking People. Just seen that it is going to be a TV series starring Elisabeth Moss.

The amount of times I walk into a bookshop just to look at how pretty they all are on the shelvesTonight I went to Foyles and Waterstones. Caressed all the books I want and left empty handed

I did pick up Haunted House and Weird f**Ks as I love the covers but remember my bookshelves are in my spare room so I wasn't paying £21 for books (no stamps either as not Waterstones) that I can't even see so put them back.The amount of times I walk into a bookshop just to look at how pretty they all are on the shelves
This book really crept up on me. I didn't think I was really into the family drama type of reads before, started it and was a bit nonplussed and was so in to it by the end, I'd have happily just kept reading on and on.Finished Ask Again Yes earlier.
