I turned 44 yesterday and cannot believe it. Last time I looked 44 was grown up, and I feel like I’m just getting started, but that’s probably a blog for another day… I had a wonderful relax and completely read the day away! Dave made me a bed end bookshelf out of pine and built …
Oh my goodness, I loved it!! So sweet and So quirky x all the camper in jokes, the sweetest and the anxieties..I loved it x
Such a thriller for me! Although I’m generally not a thriller reader, but this was definitely thrilling for me! I loved the rural Australian setting; I so remember the heat of ‘the uninsulated metal roof of the demountable…’ I loved Detective Kate Miles; watching her deal with the casual sexism and racism was so moving, …
Absolutely loved it! I read this novel in the height of summer but was actually cold while reading about the snowshoeing to the Buchanan hut x the death of Art was such a mystery I just had to turn another page regardless of my bed…a great novel ‘to study how not to communicate’…such a wonderful …
What a novel x I think everyone should read this powerful book at least once. Men’s mental health, gambling, youth culture is here, but so is a powerful tale of group dynamics and a coming of age story. It is raw and there are so many triggers to warn regarding but goodness I just think …

I loved seeing the inn renovated and loved. I …
What an absolutely beautiful novel x I was so in love with both timelines and absolutely spellbound by the stories. I am a huge Natasha Lester fan but with every new book I seem to love her more. It was wonderful to learn more about the art thief in ww2 and oh my gosh it …
Perfect contemporary fiction. I feel like I’ve really had a fictional chance to explore the #metoo movement. This was so sensitive, so empathetic, so carefully considered. I also got to spend time at Cape Cod and cooked up delicacies that made my mouth water..such a wonderful start to 2022
The sweetest book for a young booklover; with really lovely messages of acceptance and friendship as well as a good healthy dose of book magic, word appreciation and the dream that is a bookshop x such sweet illustrations and I can’t wait to try stroopwafels!!!
