Review of 2020 and My Top Reads of the Year

It's that time of year again - where I am for once, pretty on time with this whole reflective post malarkey! 2019 was a pretty shocking year for me, and apparently 2020 had 2019 hold its beer as it spent twelve whole months concocting misery on a global scale. Therefore, this year there will be … Continue reading Review of 2020 and My Top Reads of the Year →

Settling down to an evening with #Flamingo by Rachel Elliott ahead of our monthly online discussion in @themotherloadcommunity #bookclub over on Facebook on Monday night! I was really pleased to be asked to join the #neglectedfaithfuls challenge started by @hook.me.a.book I’ve been keen to read Matt Cain for a while having read rave reviews for Albert Entwhistle from some fellow #bookstagrammers I’ve enjoyed my first #buddyread of the year with The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. I was a HUGE fan of Friends, I’d watch it but tape it at the same time so I could watch it all over again, I owned all the videos and when videos died a death, I replaced them all on DVD, which still have pride of place on my shelves today. Even now, it’s a rare day when an episode doesn’t get put on the tv. I was invited to take part this year in a group where we all read our #neglectedfaithfuls - books by authors we love but have neglected, or books we’d love to read but have been languishing far too long in the TBR. Tonight at @therabbithole.brigg Reading Group, the first for 2023, we’ll be talking #wearethebrennans by @tracey_lange Happy publication day to @janice.hallett and the fantastic #themysteriouscaseofthealpertonangels This rather lovely journal from @lswmindcards turned up for me - a complete surprise and there was no note but I love it so thank you very much!
