If any of you are struggling at the moment I’m always here if you need a chat - just send me a message! 💛 In reading news I’m about 35% into We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker which I’m loving so far!

Hello lovely people! I hope everyone is keeping well? I felt like a warm toned photo because it’s particularly grey and misty here in Edinburgh today! I’m reading Wild Dog by Serge Joncour at the moment and think I’ll probably finish it tonight! I’m really trying to get more reading done whilst being at home 24/7 but I’ve been so exhausted for so much of the time. That’s a daily problem for me anyway because of medication I take but it seems even worse at the moment - it’s probably all the daily depressing news, has anyone else been feeling like that? Anyway - I thought a bright pic would cheer me up and I’m featuring What Red Was by Rosie Price because it’s a book I’m really looking forward to reading as soon as I can fit it in! ♥️🧡💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What book is a comfort read for you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ AOTD: Any of the Harry Potter books for me ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the wonderful @thebookpug to #spellthedayinbooks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡T - Treasure Island ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡H - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡U - Us Against You ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡R - Rebecca ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡S - Sadie ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡D - David Copperfield ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡A - Atonement ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧡Y - You ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely bookstagrammers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #whatredwas #booksaremylife #bookstagrammer #bookstagramit #bookstack #bookster #bookish #bookishlove #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #booklife #booksarelife #bookobsessed #bookobsession #bookhoarder #readersofinstagram #readersofinsta #instabooks #igreads #bookaesthetic #bookworm #bookphoto #booklover #bibliophiles #beautifulbooks #readingislife #beautifulbooks #bookspines #yellowbooks

Hello! I hope everyone is doing ok at the moment - it’s such an unpredictable and scary world right now so if you’re looking for a bit of escapism like me then I think Thorn by Intisar Khanani is a great choice!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing ok and staying safe in these very troubling times. I’m using books to distract me from anxiety just now and I’ve been reading a lot of hard hitting, intense books so I’ve decided to go for a bit of fantasy for escapism. I’ve just started Thorn by Intisar Khanani which is inspired by The Goose Girl fairytale and it’s great so far! I’ve also been dipping into this stunningly beautiful book of Chinese fairytales! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: Do you have a favourite fairytale? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ AOTD: I love Rapunzel and Rumplestiltskin. I also love Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the gorgeous @rainbowsandbookshelves to do the #lastnownextreads ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥Last - Keeper by Jessica Moor ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥Now - Thorn by Intisar Khanani ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥Next - We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely bookstagrammers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #chinesefairytales #fairytale #fairytales #fantasybooks #fantasyfiction #escapism #bookstagrammer #bookstagramit #bookstack #bookster #bookish #bookishlove #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #booklife #booksarelife #bookobsessed #bookobsession #bookhoarder #readersofinstagram #readersofinsta #instabooks #igreads #bookaesthetic #bookworm #bookphoto #booklover #bibliophiles #beautifulbooks

Hello! So today my blog is one of the stops on the blog tour for the incredibly affecting Silver Sparrow by @tayari. It tells the story of two girls who are both daughters of James Witherspoon, a bigamist. The narrative is split between the half sisters who tell their own (and their parents) stories, whilst all the characters careen towards what you know will be a tense confrontation. I loved this direct novel full of nuance and complexity. A definite five stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can read my full review over on my blog - link in bio! 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @oneworldpublications ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I very kindly received a copy of the book from the publisher. My review is my own honest opinion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blogtour #silversparrow #tayarijones #2020reading #2020books #bookstagrammer #bookstagramit #bookstack #bookster #bookish #bookishlove #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #booklife #booksarelife #bookobsessed #bookobsession #bookhoarder #readersofinstagram #readersofinsta #instabooks #igreads #bookaesthetic #bookworm #bookphoto #booklover #bibliophiles #beautifulbooks #readingislife #greatbooks
