📖 💻 ☕️ What’s on your agenda for this bank holiday weekend? I’ve already been to the post office, picked up a few bits from the supermarket and now I’m back home with no plans to leave my house til Tuesday! I’ll just be here with my books and unlimited cups of coffee 😆. —— Oh, and with my exciting #bookmail from @atlanticbooks - the newest novel from Elizabeth Buchan, publishing 5th Sept. ‘The Museum of Broken Promises' - Enter its doors and the past will find you.... A beautiful, evocative story, split between modern-day Paris and 1980’s Prague, telling a tale of memory, love, passion and betrayal.
#bookwormproblems - knowing your shelves are full but still adding #hardbacks to your collection! Thank you to @pushkin_press for fulfilling my wish and sending me a copy of She Would Be King by Wayétu Moore 😍 Set in the West African Village of Lai, red-haired Gbessa is cursed at birth and exiled on suspicion of being a witch. What follows is a wild and vibrant alternate history of magical black resistance, told from the viewpoint of three unforgettable characters. Anyone else looking forward to reading this one? —— I picked up Just Mercy and Golden State in Oxfam - it’s my favourite charity shop for books! The Dangerous Kind was a £5 purchase from Tesco, I cant resist a cheap hardback, I make no apologies 🤣. —— QOTD: where do you shop for bargain books? . . . . #bookstagrammers #bookstagram #hardbackbooks #alwaysreading #shewouldbeking #wayetumoore #justmercy #goldenstate #thedangerouskind #newbooks #bookshelves #booklife #booklifestyle #ilovebooks #readstagram #toberead #tbr #readeveryday #blackauthors #bookcommunity #booklover #bookblogger #bookobsessed
Today’s my stop on the #InstagramTour for #TheForgottenGirl by @rio_youers - thank you to @titanbooks for the invite! —— 1. Do you enjoy supernatural horror thrillers? 2. Are you a fan of Stephen King, think Firestarter? . If you answered yes to the above questions, then you absolutely must read this novel! —— “She possesses a unique and powerful ability. Just like we can erase data from a computer hard drive, Sally can erase memories from a person’s mind.” - Emotion runs deeper than memory, and so Harvey Anderson goes looking for a woman he loves but can’t remember, and encounters a danger beyond anything he could ever imagine. —— This dark addictive thriller will have you hooked, with great protagonists, and unlikeable villains, shades of Stephen King, brutal with the right amount of emotion, this is one hell of a great read! . I really enjoyed Youers previous novel, Halcyon, but I thought this one was even better and has cemented Youers as a ‘must-read’ author! . . . . —— #horrorbooks #rioyouers #bookrecommendation #horrorthriller #bookreview #booksta #bookstagram #bookster #alwaysreading #mustread #booklife #bookstagramtour #blogtour #horror #supernaturalthriller #bookish #bookflatlay #readinglife #lifestyle #bookblogger
I reorganised my shelves! Can you tell I favour #hardbacks 🤣 —— I haven’t managed to get rid of the #bookstacks on the floor (and I doubt I ever will!) but I have moved some of them to clear this area and I’m really happy with how it looks! —— Now to finish reorganising my smaller shelves.... —— . . . . . —— #shelfie #bookshelves #booksta #bookshelvesofinstagram #bookcase #bookstoread #homelibrary #roomdecor #allthebooks #booklifestyle #ilovebooks #bookster #bookshelfie #bookshelfdecor #alwaysreading #bookphotogtaphy #bookdragon #bookish #booklove
#Carrie Carrie White is no ordinary girl.
Carrie White has the gift of telekinesis. Carrie has been invited to Prom. Prom night will change everyone’s life. —— #BookReview: As far as debuts go, this is a bloody impressive one! Carrie is a #horror novel that uses it slow pace to draw you in. This slower pace essentially slows down the horror, Carrie’s hell at home, & Carrie’s hell at school, I guess you could call her an anti-hero, because King’s storytelling really does have you offering her your sympathies, hoping for a revenge plot. I was worried about reading this one as I’ve watched the movies, and remember the most recent one quite well, but despite knowing the plot, I still greatly enjoyed it - and yes, the book is better than the film. —— Another month, another King down. If you want to join my King readalongs anytime, just let me know, I have a highlight in my bio where I announce what we’re reading - this month it’s Gerald’s Game. —— Swipe one time for a close up of my awesome bookmark I bought from @beardly.designs. —— And while we’re talking all things King, I watched The Green Mile the other day, and no matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me cry, John Coffey 😭😭😭 . . . . . —— #constantreader #stephenking #horrorbook #bookflatlay #bookreccomendation #bookster #booksta #alwaysreading #bookish #carriewhite #telekinesis #booknerds #bookworms #readeveryday #fictionbooks #beardlydesigns #bookmark #coffee
It’s not easy for a paperback to hold its own in a sea of hardbacks, but somehow Green Valley by Louis Greenberg manages it! Probably because the cover is awesome —> swipe to see a close up of the cover 😃. Thank you to @titanbooks for the #gifted copy! —— I feel like this year is THE YEAR for book covers, and we need to start giving cover designers more recognition! Green Valley cover design is by Natasha Mackenzie. —— Synopsis for #GreenValley: When Lucie Sterling’s niece is abducted, she knows it won’t be easy to find answers. Stanton is no ordinary city: invasive digital technology has been banned, by public vote. No surveillance state, no shadowy companies holding databases of information on private citizens, no phones tracking their every move. . Only one place stays firmly anchored in the bad old ways, in a huge bunker across town: Green Valley, where the inhabitants have retreated into the comfort of full-time virtual reality—personae non gratae to the outside world. And it’s inside Green Valley, beyond the ideal virtual world it presents, that Lucie will have to go to find her missing niece. . . . . —— #louisgreenberg #technoir #scifi #scifibooks #thriller #booksta #bookflatlay #fictionbooks #titanbooks #readeveryday #prettycover #bookobsessed #readinglife #coverdesign #toberead #alwaysreading #bookish #bookseverywhere #bookdragon #allthebooks #bookhoarder
