Milkman was 100% the worst thing I have ever read and put me off ever reading another Booker prize winner (or whatever prize it was).

I’m halfway through Love Story by Lindsay Kelk. If anyone else has read it I just need to express that Charlotte is just a total spoiled cat - why does everyone indulge her so much? Why did Sophie let her take the bloody Chanel bag?
She is a cat, but I loved that book.

I read How to Age Disgracefully after seeing people recommend it on here. It's not the sort of thing I normally go for but I really enjoyed it!

I was supposed to be going to An Evening With Jacqueline Wilson tonight but I've had to cancel as my anxiety is so bad right now so they're sending me a signed copy of Think Again instead, I'm looking forward to reading it!

Feel better soon. That was kind of them.

I re-read Girls books in preparation for Think Again. Almost picked it up in Tesco but I’ve seen so many mixed reviews I ordered it from the library instead. Has anyone read it?

Oh thank you, this is a good shout! I’ve just done the same. God knows how long we’ll be waiting 😂 I can see from mine that they have 27 copies and more on order 👀

I’ve just promoted my Kindle to lunchtime reading in addition to bedtime to try and get through some of my books on there. I’ll save my paperback for morning and after work as I like to sit under my blanket with a cup of tea and a paperback.

I’ve just received a KU offer 3 months for free and subsequently added a tit ton of books to my kindle library. Will I read them? Who knows 😂

Sounds like a successful day. As we all know, acquiring books and actually reading books are two very different and not always connected hobbies!

Trying to save money where I can so when I see the 2 for £9.50 or offers on books in Tesco I try to think before I mindlessly purchase. I have so many books on my shelves and my kindle already.

Sorry to hear that. It's always disappointing when anxiety spoils plans. At least you've got the signed copy to look foward to. I hope the anxiety eases off asap! 🦁🌻

I do the same. I can take a risk in reading something different from the library and then splurge on the books I truly love.
There's nothing more disappointing than buying a book to find out you've wasted your money. 😥
Even authors I would just automatically buy started to just dial in their latest books, so I'm wary now about just buying the next one.

I finished Fourth Wing this morning and started straight into Iron Flame.

I loved Fourth Wing. The twist at the very end was good. I'm Irish and the Irish language was used for some names etc. Even in the first chapter of Iron Flame I've noticed three Irish words. It's nice to see.

I did a mix of reading and listening on Spotify but I ran out of free hours. I renewed Audible for 2.99 a month just so I can listen to Iron Flame only seems to be available as a dramatised verion in two parts so I would need to buy the second part which is really annoying. I just want the regular audiobook.

I loved Fourth Wing, not started Iron Flame yet. Could you get the audiobook from your library?
