Who's read The Testaments? I got my copy at the weekend but I think I'm going to hang on a little bit. The anticipation is really high and I've heard so many great things that I think I'm going to wait! I did think it would be good to reread The Handmaid's Tale first. And then I saw that a graphic novel adaptation has been released so I'm going to read this first instead. Thanks to my husband @making_up_junk for picking me up a copy from the amazing @daves_comics in Brighton! Swipe through to see some of the gorgeous illustrations! #thehandmaidstale #thetestaments #graphicnovels #illustratedbooks #margaretatwood #renéenault #anticipatedbooks #librariansofinstagram #bookblogger #hypedbooks
While looking through my shelves for the #animaltitlebookstack I noticed I had quite a few books that were bird related. So I checked and luckily there was a tag called #birdtitlebookstack created by @jatterbywarren24. Did quite well with these! We have: 🐦 To Kill a Mockingbird 🐦 The Lark 🐦 A Pocketful of Crows 🐦 Dear Mrs Bird (a bit of a stretch) 🐦 The Birds 🐦 The Nightingale 🐦 A Little Bird Told Me 🐦 Birds of America How about you? #flatlay #birdtitles #bookchallenge #tokillamockingbird #dearmrsbird #thebirds #thenightingale #alittlebirdtoldme #birdsofamerica #apocketfulofcrows #thelark #booksoutside
What a marvellous little book!  A collection of 25 short essays, this is a book every woman should read and have on their shelves!  Some of the "Life Lessons" that immediately piqued my interest were You're Not the Worst Mum in the World by Robyn Wilder, The Power of Saying "No" by Reni Eddo-Lodge (need to work harder at this one!) and Eleven Stories About Grief by Anna Fielding.  All these essays are great pieces of inspirational advice and at 3-4 pages long, they are easily digestible. This is the sort of book I think every woman should own - not all of the essays will be relevant to every woman but as we go through our lives, I think most will be useful at some point or other.  It is a book I would give to my daughters if I had them! Many thanks to @penguinlifebooks for gifting me a copy as part of an Instagram promotion last year. #lifelessonsfromremarkablewomen #shortessays #strongwomen #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #advicebooks #inspirationalbooks #gifted #motivationalbooks #womenareamazing #lifelessons
I saw a great tag by @mybrisbaneskynest recently called #animaltitlebookstack and while I initially thought I didn't have many, I came up with quite a few. My stack includes: 🐄 The Cows by Dawn O'Porter 🐍 The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry 🐝 The Bees by Laline Paul 🦟 Lord of the Flies by William Golding 🐻 The Bear and The Nightingale by Katherine Arden 🐯 Tiger by Polly Clark 🐧 The Penguin Lessons by Tom Mitchell 🦊 The Lady and the Little Fox Fur by Violette Leduc I'm most impressed I found an emoji for each! Have you got many titles with animals in them? I'd love to see! #bookstack #thecows #theessexserpent #thebees #lordoftheflies #thebearandthenightingale #tiger #thepenguinlessons #theladyandthelittlefoxfur #animaltitles #booktags #bookchallenge #bookspines
I finished The Next Person You Meet in Heaven at the weekend and what an emotionally charged read it is! In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, war veteran Eddie dies saving a young girl from a falling fairground ride. The five people he meets tell him why his life mattered. The young girl he saved was Annie and this is her story. After a tragic accident on her wedding night, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey. She has always focused on the mistakes she has made and the story flitts between her heavenly people and her life growing up. This is just a wonderful sequel. Short and engaging, it's a heartwarming read and I highly recommend it. Thanks to Millie at Little Brown for my #gifted copy. Full review is on my blog today. #thefivepeopleyoumeetinheaven #thenextpersonyoumeetinheaven #mitchalbom #sequels #bookreview #bookblogger #librariansofinstagram #booksandsky
Inspired by @barbaras.book.obsession to show you my books with #loveinthetitle. Turns out I don't have many. Maybe all the books I read are themed with doom, despair and misery! Here we have: - Love Will Tear Us Apart by Holly Seddon - Music Love Drugs War by Geraldine Quigley - Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Anderson - The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford - Love by Valerie Martin - My True Love Gave to Me short story collection and the only one I've actually read! I'd love to see yours! #lovewilltearusapart #musiclovedrugswar #everythingiknowaboutlove #mytruelovegavetome #thepursuitoflove #love #romanticbooks #bookchallenge #bookspines #librariansofinstagram #bookblogger
