Book 3 of 2025 is a short one - and I loved β€˜Small Things Like These’ so I hope I love this just as much. Sometimes I think there’s a benefit to going into books blind, and that’s what I’m doing today #currentlyreading #booksky

Book 2 of 2025 is one I’ve been anticipating to read since I first saw it in the summer. It feels like it’s on the same wavelength as β€˜She’s Always Hungry’…

First book of 2025 was devoured last night…and I have another Eliza Clark induced hangover! There is something about the writing style which captivates me in each of Clark’s works 🍬

So many books in 2024…

Possibly the worst year in reality but the best in all the worlds I have the pleasure to visit ❀️

How many times do we need to explain that whilst it may LOOK like the inventory of a small library, it is in fact our Christmas wish list ✨

I’ve read four contemporary romances in the last three weeks. A new genre I haven’t really enjoyed before…but I think I’ve been making the wrong choices because these four, while being so very different, all sparked different senses of joy within me βœ¨πŸ’«

Currently one (one!) chapter in and I have ordered tissues and chocolate. I think that it’s a tear jerker.
