Today is my turn on the #bookstagram tour for Haven't They Grown by Sophie Hannah. Being nosy one day, Beth ends up outside the house of her former best friend, Flora. While parked outside the gated property, she sees Flora get out her car, followed by her two children, Thomas and Emily. But it has been 12 years since Beth has seen the family. And Thomas and Emily are the same age they were when she last saw them. How can that be possible? Why haven't they grown? What an intriguing premise for a story! This turned out to be a detective novel of sorts...Beth is determined to find out the truth, aided by her family but especially her sassy teenage daughter Zannah. I had no idea where this book was going. There are a whole cast of characters who try and put Beth off the scent but she doesn't give in and I really enjoyed this book. This is my first Sophie Hannah and I admire the imagination used to write this story, which is very much set in the real world. Thank you to @paper.charm for inviting me on the #bookstagramtour and for my #gifted proof copy. Swipe through to see who else is taking part over the next few days! #haventtheygrown #sophiehannah #psychologicalthrillers #booktours #papercharm #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookreview #mysterybooks
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!
