I had a fab time picking my recommendations for this 2022 #HolidayReads list!! 📚#bookreview Free author event for #indiebookshopweek held by @therabbithole.brigg this Wednesday 22nd June, 7pm Every month we @therabbithole.brigg select a #bookofthemonth in our specialist areas. This month I have selected What Time is Love? by Holly Williams. Smartly written, engrossing with plenty to discuss it's one I've completely fallen for. It’s #indiebookshopweek and after a week off, I’m looking forward to getting back to work @therabbithole.brigg There’s worse places to sit and snatch five minutes with my book! As I’m so late that it’s practically July, here are my #Mayreads! #spellthemonthinbooks Thank you so much to @chapter1.page1 for my winning copy of #DoNoHarm by @jackjordan_author, and for inviting me to take part in my first @tandemcollectiveuk readalong, which has been so much fun!
