I may have bought myself another edition of Little Women. Isn't this the most beautiful book? When I saw it I couldn't resist! Published by Thomas Nelson, this edition is part of their Seasons Edition - Winter collection and the cover is laser cut and is just stunning! Limited to a 10,000 print run, I'm looking forward adding this to my Little Women collection! #littlewomen #louisamayalcott #collectorsedition #collectablebooks #bookcollector #bookcollections #beautifulbooks #lasercutting #limitededition #childrensliterature #seasonseditions
It's been a while since I've read a Dorothy Koomson book - isn't it great to return to an author you enjoy? In Tell Me Your Secret, the police are investigating a kidnapper, targeting black women. Known as The Blindfolder, he was active 10 years ago - he held his victims for 48 hours and if they kept their eyes shut, while being abused and tortured for the entire time he let them go. Now he is back and killing the women he let go years ago. A great crime thriller set in Brighton, what was really interesting was how the perception of victims is different depending on their race. A young black woman, especially one who drinks or takes drugs is less likely to believed when reporting a crime than a white woman. Less gritty than some crime thrillers (a lot is left to the imagination), I really enjoyed this! Out in paperback now! Full review is on the blog (link in bio). Thank you to @ed.pr and @headlinebooks for my #gifted copy. #tellmeyoursecrets #dorothykoomson #crimethriller #womenofcolorauthors #brightonbooks #booksoutside #booksbythesea #bookblogger #bookreview
Last week was my first full week back at work after the Christmas break and it was full on. I had a new starter to train and our new improved library database was unleashed to the world! I've been feeling a little frazzled and very tired but I've had a good weekend, caught up on some stuff at home and am going into the week feeling positive! I've seen a bookstagrammers share their #januarybluesstack so here is mine! Have a great week! #sundaystack #bookstacks #bluebooks #bookblogger #hardbackbooks #theweightofathousandfeathers #thewatercure #genuinefraud #thelido #thingsinjars #postscript
Happy Friday! Today I'm showing my #lastnownextreads! My last read was Adults by @emjaneunsworth and I've just got a ticket to hear her talking about the book at @brightonwaterstones later this month which is exciting! I'm currently reading Tell Me A Secret by @dorothykoomson_author which I'm really enjoying, just at a really tense bit so hoping to finish tonight! Next is The 24-Hour Cafr by @libbypagewrites! I loved The Lido, so looking forward to this! See any here that you want to read? After the busiest week at work ever, I'm so ready for the weekend, starting with Friday night movie night with my son! Tonight it's the Captain Underpants Movie! What are your plans? #adults #emmajaneunsworth #bookstack #tellmeasecret #dorothykoomson #the24hourcafe #libbypage #bookblogger
Set over two timelines, Followers is a brilliant dystopian novel, focusing on social media. In 2015 we have Orla, living in New York, working for an online celebrity gossip magazine. Floss wants to be famous and the two women working together use the power of social media to make Floss famous, essentially for just being seen in the right places! In 2051 we meet Marlow, a young woman who lives in the closed community of Constellation, a continuous virtual reality show. Marlow has grown up on the show, living her life in the view of millions of followers but when she finds out a devastating secret about her paternity, she decides to leave, which is easier said than done. I loved this look at how shallow social media can make us and how we are all chasing those likes! This was a thrilling read and if you love TV shows like Black Mirror, I think you'll love this! Thank you to @hqstories for my #gifted copy.

Do you have any reading habits? I try and read at regular times throughout the day: - during my 30 minute lunch break at work. I give evil glares to anyone who tries to talk to me during that time! - 7-8pm I like to try and read (or write a blog post) - bedtime. I never go to bed early enough to read as long as I'd like. My husband likes to turn the light off at a sensible time...if I start a new chapter, i have to turn the book away so he can't see! 😂 Do you have a regular reading pattern or do you go with the flow? #ampersandjan20 - reading habits #bookchallenge #tellmeyoursecrets #dorothykoomson #thrillerbooks #crimethriller #femaleauthors #writersofcolor #readinghabits
