Still Me - Jojo Moyes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A fan of the amazing Me Before You, and film adaptation, I love Lou Clark and her world. Such a beautiful character, her story really pulled me through the wringer. I loved, loved, loved her third outing.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
- Lewis Carroll ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m slowly dipping my toes into the classics, and when I saw that this was narrated by Comer, I was sold.

The Old Crones Club - Jennifer Taylor-Gray
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Billed as a different take on the well known fairytales, but with the “wicked witches” the actual victims of their separate stories. I was sold.

🎧Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This being YA is a travesty, and anyone with an interest in historical fiction, partially the British resistance to the Nazi occupation of France during WW2, you need to read this.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️
🎧The God of the Woods - Liz Moore ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a really good read with multi-layered characters, lots to unpick and uncover, particularly with multiple viewpoints (and timelines).

Those stories hit really hard. I also read a similar story (review inbound); Code Name Verity.
Can’t wait!!! Enjoy
The Nightingale - Kristin Hannah
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This got under my skin as you follow sisters Viann and Isabelle in France as Germany invades during the Second World War.

Apparently, we've had 34,001 streams of The Bert's Books podcast.
No idea if that's good or not.
Let's add a few more - the latest episode featuring spoiler-free reviews of The Barbecue at No 9 and Mistborn is winging its way to wherever you listen to your podcasts right now.
The One Day You Were My Husband - Rosie Walsh ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Part romance, part mystery, with lots going on in this one.
Thanks to the publishers for this review copy, which is out 4 June.

🎧Her Last Christmas - Claire McGowen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I flew through this one, and found our main character refreshing as she wasn’t a damsel in distress that needed rescuing

🎧We All Live Here - Jojo Moyes
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Took me a while to get into it. Moyes does her usual character driven story with some memorable characters and moments. Not my favourite of her books.

Blimey, this is another corker from TJR! I’d seen some earlier reviews about this one that raved about it, and of course it’s all deserved.

I will admit, this one crept up on me. After reading that blurb, I didn’t expect it to go where it took me or how much it pulled me in.

I’m so glad I stumbled across this little gem after seeing someone recommend it on the socials. Whilst it’s a short read, it doesn’t half pack a punch. Check out the CW!
