Featuring today a stack of pink books as part of the #pinkbooks4boobs campaign. The lovely ladies of the #bookishladiesclub will donate $1 for every pink stack featured in October for #breastcancerawarenessmonth. So important that we check our boobs for anything unusual...I have several friends who are luckily in remission from breast cancer and early detection helps. These are also #tenonmytbr (except for The Hippopotamus which I finished yesterday!) #breastcancerawareness #tbrproblem #pinkbooks #theroadtolichfield #breakfastattiffanys #thehippopotamus #keeper #liftingtheveil #notthatkindofgirl #bigbones #thebelles #marilynandme #thedevouringgray #bookspines #bookstack #pinkbooksforboobs
I really need to read more Stephen King. I love horror films and I'm missing out on all these cinema adaptations because I want to read the books first! I did enjoy Carrie though although I'm not happy my husband owns the film tie-in version! #carrie #stephenking #stephenkingbooks #autumnalcolours #autumnthemes #horrorbookstagram #horrorbooks #horrorstories #booktomovie
Inspired by @thebristolreader and @barbaras.book.obsession I bring you a stack of books with #colourinthetitle / #titleswithcolours. Did quite well with this one...almost but not quite a rainbow! I found: * A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle * Greenmantle by John Buchan * The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman * Half a Yellow Sun by Chimanda Ngozi Adichie * The Red Ribbon by Lucy Adlington * A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler * Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller * Purple Hibiscus by Adichie How about you? #colorinthetitle #astudyinscarlet #greenmantle #thedevouringgray #halfayellowsun #theredribbon #aspoolofbluethread #bitterorange #purplehibiscus #bookstack #bookchallenge #booktags

I finished The Winter of the Witch this week, bringing to an end the wonderful Winternight trilogy from @arden_katherine. Based in part on actual happenings in 14th century Russia, the story opens with Moscow burning after events at the end of the last book. Vasya, a girl with extraordinary powers is blamed and must flee for her life, hounded down by those who blame their own misfortunes on her magic. In order to save her, a vengeful demon returns and with a mad, evil priest as his sidekick, is stronger than ever.  His aim is to engulf the world in chaos, bringing the dead back to life.  Vasya, must recover and return to Moscow in order to save her family there and stop him. You definitely need to have read the first two parts before you read this, but I urge you to do so.  This series is so intelligently written, the research that Arden has done around this time period of Russian history is astounding and it really feels like a fairy-tale.  I love Vasya, the different demons and allies (especially the magical mushroom sidekick Ded Grib) and also the relationship she has with her brother Sasha and her sister Olya. Each scene is richly atmospheric, the book will truly transport you to another world. I highly recommend this series, perfect for cosying up with in the upcoming winter months Full review is on the blog today. Thanks to @tom_shxrpe for the frosty effect on the photo! #thewinternighttrilogy #winternighttrilogy #thewinterofthewitch #thegirlinthetower #thebearandthenightingale #magicalbooks #fairytales #historicalfiction #youngadultbooks #yafiction #katherinearden #bookblogger #bookreview
So the Booker Prize has been announced and it was a draw! Not sure how I feel about it to be honest! Anyway, I own (but haven't read) The Testaments but I'm reasonably sure I'll love it. And out of the others on the short list, Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo is the one that appeals the most. So sometime soon I'll read them soon and make up my mind! #manbookerinternationalprize #bookerprize #margaretatwood #thetestaments #thehandmaidstale #bernadineevaristo #girlwomanother #prizewinningbooks
