If you ever need any more easy reads I personally would recommend the following books:I wanted a nice easy read (no spice or murder)So just read the first of 6 books by Hannah Lynn. The Sweet Shop of Second Chances. Really enjoyed it. Going to carry on with them as not read a series in a while
Four Weddings and a Festival by Annie Robertson
A Wedding at Christmas by Chrissie Manby
The Wagging Tails Dogs Home series by Sarah Hope
Making Wishes at Bay View by Jessica Redland
Villa of Sun and Secrets by Jennifer Bohnet
I have the new Nicholls on pre-order too, and to be totally honest half the reason I did a pre order is because the Special Edition at Waterstones looked really pretty with a fun cover. Very much judging a book by its cover.
I think You are Here will beat Funny Story in the post though, based on the updates from Royal Mail.

Finished 'James' by Percival Everett today and would highly recommend, particularly on audio - the narration was superb.
It's a reimagining of Huckleberry Finn told from the perspective of the slave Jim.

I've just finished An Infamous Army by Georgette Heyer. Normally I'd be bored to tears with battles, but I was really gripped. Googling things as I read and not being able to put it down. Even found myself crying!
I read her life story last year and it said she researches her subject really well.

Also jealous! I hope you enjoy, you usually get to find out fun info about their process with the book. I'm looking forward to reading this book too!
Ah hope you love it!
I’m going to her event tomorrow night.

I was tempted to go out and get it tonight but after the Happy Place disappointment all it took was a bit of rain to keep me indoors. I doubt last the weekend without buying it though 🫢omg have an amazing time!! tell her i think she is AMAZING
also picked up funny story in tescos today and don’t let me down emhen! we’re on shaky ground after happy place but you can still pull it back
well now i’m jealous of YOU too
again, tell her that your friend on the internet thinks she’s awesome!treat yourself 🫢 it’s a beautiful cover ngl, but i really hope it isn’t another happy place (it sounds more promising thankfully!)
i resisted in sainsburys today, but it’ll be a different story after pay day!also picked up funny story in tescos today and don’t let me down emhen! we’re on shaky ground after happy place but you can still pull it back
after seeing Pierce in the pics for Prince Naseems biopic it makes a bit more sense nowI'm really surprised at the Pierce Brosnan casting. Very bizarre. Other than that pleased with Mirren and Kingsley. Ray Winston was the obvious choice for Ron but he is too young. I'd have gone for someone like Malcolm McDowell.
With the age of this cast I hope they make about 3 films back to back
My copy of Funny Story arrived. Im still miffed I didnt cancel and go for the Afterlight one. However we move and this one is signed.

It was an absolutely glorious evening, she is amazing! It was a brief talk and then about 45 mins Q&A, she was so warm and funny. I started reading her new one and it has hooked me already (thankfully as I found the one before -Ninth House, such a slog I haven't got onto the second of that series yet). Anyway I hope you have a brilliant time tonight!
I also have spent a small fortune on books at Mr B's Emporium and Toppings book shops. Bath is like catnip for book lovers!
I'm reading Demon Copperhead and I have to say it is AMAZING.
Ah thanks! I’m extra excited for tonight now! I plan to start her new book on the way home from the event tonight.
Ooh what did you buy?
i’m glad you enjoyed!!! i loved ninth house (though haven’t read hell bent yet) but i do get that it would be a slog. glad to hear that the familar is good, i’m really looking forward to reading it.
what books did you buy?!?
Oooh I’ve found my tribe !
