What’s a girl to do when her husband decides to play with his digital telescope?! 🔭

Whip out her Kindle of course! 🤪

I forgot to pre downloaded some books I was planning to start whilst in Whitby 🦀 so The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros it is! 📖 Hope I don’t start crying in public!

Blind date with a contemporary romance book from @thespicylibrarianuk & I have NO IDEA what’s inside 👀🤪

The tropes:
❤️ Second chance romance
🤏 Forced proximity
⏳ Then & Now timeline
🎬 Hollywood setting

I’ll be staycationing in Whitby & Inverness next week which to me equals unwrapping time! 📦

What do you reckon it could be?!

Also this is my first reel using my voice, so be kind 🤪

Special Edition of Flatlay Friday courtesy of @thespicylibrarianuk ❤️‍🔥

I took a little road trip with my buddy @kitchbeauty yesterday where we went to Warwick Castle 🏰 & of course The Spicy Librarian!

The last time I took this trip it was with the hubby so it was great having a gal with me this time! There was no giggling & pointing at the book covers & titles 🤪

Safe to say I did not come back empty handed:
🌶️ Eat Your Heart Out by J.N. Bamforth
🌙 One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
👑 Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig
🧁 Take a Number by Amy Daws
💕 Fall Me Maybe by Laney Hatcher
🗡️ Because I Killed Him by Edith Birde

So, did I do well?

@asda book section finds 📚💚 Cheap books AND sprayed edges?!

I’m so used to heading straight for Waterstones and The Works that I sometimes forget ASDA actually has a pretty decent book section 👀

I only spotted a couple of sprayed edge editions this time, but there were loads of popular books at some VERY tempting prices! 💸

Here’s what caught my eye:

🌸 The One Day You Were My Husband by Rosie Walsh
🔪 Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray
⏳ Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
🥀 The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson
🗡️ Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
🧪 Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
🐍 The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
🍋 More, collected by Gillian Anderson
🩸 The Book of Blood & Roses by Annie Summerlee
🐉 Duskbound by Bree Grenwich & Parker Lennox
🩸 Blood Bound by Ellis Hunter
💌 The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros

Honestly, if you’re looking for cheap books in the UK, the supermarket book section is definitely worth a nosy! Some of these were under £6 🤯

Do you ever check the books in ASDA or your local supermarket? 👀📚

🥀 Thorncloak by L. K. Steven
🌙 Earthbound by Saara El-Arifi

My first Flat Lay Friday! 📚✨

I’ve finally joined in with Flat Lay Friday and I’m actually really happy with how my first book flat lay turned out! 🙌

I don’t currently have access to my entire book collection, so this became a paperback only edition.

I genuinely thought arranging the books would be the easy part…NOPE! It was much harder than I expected 🤪 I kept moving things around trying to get everything to sit nicely without it looking too neat or too chaotic!

And stick around until the final slides for some sprayed edge goodness 👀✨

Which book cover or sprayed edge catches your eye first?

Also TGIF everyone 🎉

📚 COME BOOK SHOPPING AT @waterstones WITH ME!

There is no such thing as “just having a look” in Waterstones. 😂

Here are some of the books that caught my eye on this trip:

🌙 The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig
🚀 Not Till We Are Lost by Dennis E. Taylor
🌌 Bightfall by Brandon Sanderson & Janci Patterson
🔥 The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
💜 Skipshock by Caroline O’Donoghue
🤠 Fall Too Well by Erin Branscom
🍂 Fall Shook Up by Piper Sheldon
🎨 Paint Me Like Your Dead Girls by Cynthia Murphy

I’m definitely being drawn towards more sci-fi lately 👀 and I REALLY need to finally read The Poppy War after hearing so many good things about it.

And yes…Fall Shook Up came home with me because I liked the sprayed edge. 😂📚

Where is your local Waterstones and which of these would you have picked up? 👀

Today’s book haul:

🧠 Brain Damage by Freida McFadden
🐺 Big Bad Wolf by Laurie Gilmore
💀 Grim Tidings by B.K. Borison

Looks like I was in the mood for a VERY mixed bag today 😂 Thriller, romance, paranormal…why choose!

Also the sprayed edges may have swayed me somewhat!

Which one would you be picking up first? 👀
