I used to love Bacardi Breezers - the lime one was the best!

As long as it’s not MD 2020 we’re ok. Banana and cherry was particularly potent if I remember correctly

Pineapple were the dream. The best.

I used to make fat frogs with pineapple rather than orange. Absolutely delicious.

Ive got heartburn just thinking about it now. I dont think I could manage even a sip without Gaviscon
Another blast from the past - fat frogs! I’d totally forgotten about those! I remember me and my now husband drinking quiet a lot of those on the last night of our first holiday together and being sick as dogs on the plane on the way home the next day - classy

If you're all drinking Bacardi does that mean I get the Smirnoff Ice's to myself?
God yes, you can have all the Smirnoff ice’s to yourself - vile things

I bought A Man Called Ove and Anxious People by Fredrik Backman (both 99p atm if anyone wants to be enabled #notsponsored), has anyone read them? I loved Beartown and Us Against You by him so much (as I think I've posted several times .. haha) so am hoping they live up to my high expectations of him. He does write characters very well in the two I've read by him, so I'm intrigued about his other books.

I have just started a man called Ove, really enjoying it so far. Agree with the characters, he is making someone who should be unlikeable be likeable in this so far.

Ove is one of my favourite books ever. I loved it. They actually did a really decent film version of it. It’s both funny and sad. X

I’ve just finished Baby It’s Cold Outside by Emily Bell (also 99p on kindle ). Loved it!

Here I am with another 99p book. But my gosh. This book tore my heart apart. It is a fictional story about human trafficking, so many times I held my breath and paused before I could turn the pages. I feel like I will be haunted by Thanh for the rest of my life.

It needs a trigger warning for abuse though, it is brutal at points and hard to read but it is well written. It feels a bit odd to say this is one of my favourite reads this year when the subject matter is so difficult, but it is.
