Books #5 the book lovers thread!

[Custard cream]

Tempted to ask admin to automatically remove any posts that say “***** is only 99p on kindle” in order to save me from myself

Just like an alcoholic would ask their friends to lock away the Bacardi Breezer before they go home.

(yes I did say Bacardi Breezer.
the OG one obviously)

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

 

[mindlessness]

If you're all drinking Bacardi does that mean I get the Smirnoff Ice's to myself?

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

Someone remind me why they stopped selling them again? Though I preferred a Caribbean Twist...

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

God yes, you can have all the Smirnoff ice’s to yourself - vile things

God, a 99p kindle book and a Bacardi breezer - what a bloody amazing combo that would be.

Someone needs to set up a subscription box for that!

What have I started

the book thread Christmas party.
Bacardi Breezers, Smirnoff ice in a pint glass (remember they tried to make this a thing in pubs ?)
A tunnocks tea cake, or a snowball

Just downloaded The First Day Of Spring by Nancy Tucker from the library,

looking at reviews it could be a very difficult read, has anyone read it?

It’s my birthday today and I got a kindle voucher worth £40 off a friend looks like i can’t be on a book buying ban anymore!!!

 

[slugella]

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.
