It was a bit chilly on the cycle to work this morning - but everything is very pretty covered in frost so it just about makes up for it! ❄ A Winter Book is a collection of translated short stories by Tove Jansson which looks like just the thing to snuggle up with on a cold winter's day. Have you read this collection? ❄ #readgushjan19 - blue #awinterbook #tovejansson #shortstories #translatedbooks #winterbooks #frostyleaves #librariansofinstagram
Loved this crime thriller set in the world of gangsters. It's very violent but if you don't mind that it's an exciting read with some strong female characters! My review is up on the blog (link in bio) today! Hope your weekend was good although I'm not sure where it went. We had lunch out yesterday in our favourite cafe and I've been trying to catch up on all my reviews and blog posts today - I've read 3 amazing books this week! #fatal #jacquirose #avonbooks #blogtour #bookblogger #crimethriller #hotchocolate #bookanddrink #seaview #bookreview #librariansofinstagram
Have you seen the latest book by @annamazzolawriter? I loved The Unseeing and regular readers will know I love my historical fiction, so I was pretty excited to hear about The Story Keeper! Set on the Isle of Skye in 1857, Audrey Hart flees London in order to help one of islanders discover and record the local folklore and superstitions. She is viewed with suspicion as an outsider. It's not long before she discovers the body of a young girl...the locals believe she is the victim of restless spirits that take the form of birds. Audrey is sceptical to begin with but as events unfold she starts to question her beliefs. This is a spooky and unsettling read. Thank you to @ed.pr for inviting me on this bookstagram tour and for sending me a copy of the book. The paperback was published by @tinder_press on 10th January and and a full review is on my blog (link in bio). #thestorykeeper #annamazzola #gothicbooks #bookstagramtours #bookblogger #historicalfiction #folklore #librariansofinstagram #blackfeathers #gifted #blogtour
I've been hankering after this since it was everywhere in hardback last year. So many people were raving about it. Sounding a little like Hitchcock's movie Rear Window, the story is about Anna, who hasn't left her home in New York for 10 months. She sits at her window watching her neighbours and when a new family moves in, they seem perfect. But she hears a scream one evening and witnesses something horrifyingly. Now she must uncover the truth, but will anyone believe her? And can she even trust herself? Thank you @harpercollinsuk and @ellieeee101 for my copy and the popcorn. I can't wait! #thewomaninthewindow #ajfinn #thrillerbooks #booksandpopcorn #bookblogger #gifted #librariansofinstagram
Music Love Drugs War is the debut novel by Geraldine Quigley. A coming of age novel that follows the lives of a group of teenagers in 1980s Derry, as they drink, take drugs and dabble in resistance. The end of the school year is approaching, and siblings Paddy and Liz McLaughlin, Christy Meehan, Kevin Thompson and their friends will soon have to decide what they're going to do with the rest of their lives. But it's hard to focus when there's the allure of their favourite hangout place, the dingy 'Cave', where they go to drink and flirt and smoke. Most days, Christy, Paddy and Kevin lie around listening to Dexys and Joy Division. Through a fog of marijuana, beer and budding romance, the future is distant and unreal. But this is Derry in 1981, and they can't ignore the turmoil of the outside world. A friend is killed, and Christy and Paddy, stunned out of their stupor, take matters into their own hands. Some choices are irreversible, and choosing to fight will take hold of their lives in ways they never imagined. As a child of the 1980s (but not actually a teenager until the early 90s) this really appeals to me. I love coming of age stories and I can’t wait to read this. Thank you to @corinnasophia_ at @penguinrhuk for my copy as part of an Instagram tour! #musiclovedrugswar #comingofage #irishbooks #debutauthors #gifted #geraldinequigley #hardbackbooks #bookstagramtours #librariansofinstagram
How has your weekend been? I had a good day yesterday having lunch with my best friend and in the evening my family went bowling and out for dinner as a belated birthday treat for my son. Today has been about catching up on jobs! I finished BlackBerry and Wild Rose over the Christmas break and loved it. I really enjoy historical fiction and this is set in the time of the Huguenot weavers of Spitalfields in 1768. Told from the point of view of two women, Ester the wife of a master weaver, and Sara, a prostitute who ends up working as a housemaid for Ester. And just look at that cover! My full review is on my blog (link in bio). Do you enjoy historical fiction? Do you have a favourite you can recommend me? #blackberryandwildrose #soniavelton #historicalfiction #bookreview #bookblogger #quercusbooks #librariansofinstagram #huguenotweavers
