Bookish thoughts… 💭
Oh Miriam - Audiobook by Miriam Margoyles
You all know by now that I just adore Miriam and her incredible sense of humour. From telling stories of her childhood, to her thoughts on politics, time on the stage and on TV, and the times she’s come into a spot of bother.. I could literally listen to her for hours! What a woman.
❓Who do you love to listen reading their own book? Miriam is definitely my favourite but I also enjoyed listening to Adam Kay’s book, and Ant & Dec’s was hilarious too!

Really good story, ive not read any of the previous books but that didnt seem to be an issue!
It is about an “impossible to solve murder”; a woman is killed in a locked walled garden. My only downside to the story was that there was an awful lot of horticultural references which i found a wee bit off putting.
As opposed to the last few books i have listened to the narration (Colin R Campbell) was exceptional; he sounded a little like Sean Bean; loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ published 20th October (had to choose my favourite bruce song!)

📚 BorrowBox TBR | Which one should I read first?

You know how it goes… you borrow a book, realise there are several others you absolutely want to read, and suddenly your library TBR has a life of its own. 😂📚

This time around, I’ve got four very different books waiting for me:

💛 Five by Ilona Bannister, a thriller that promises to keep me guessing.

🖤 See What You Made Me Do by Jess Hill, an investigation into domestic abuse, coercive control and the systems that fail victims.

⚾ Pitcher Perfect by Tessa Bailey, because sometimes you need a little sports romance in your reading life.

🇺🇸 Regime Change by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, an inside look at Trump’s second presidency.

A thriller, a powerful work of investigative nonfiction, a romance and some political reporting. My reading life is rarely predictable, is it?

So, tell me: which one would you pick up first — 01, 02, 03 or 04? 👀

Historical fiction done right. Intimate yet epic, heartbreaking yet hopeful, The Women gives a voice to the women whose contributions to the Vietnam War have so often been overlooked or forgotten.

It’s 1965, and when her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, Frances “Frankie” McGrath makes the life-changing decision to join the Army Nurse Corps. What follows is an extraordinary journey through the atrocities of war, the fragility of humanity, and the relentless complexities of misogyny in a world that refuses to acknowledge the sacrifices of women.

Hannah does not shy away from the horrors of war. Death, hope, friendship, betrayal, and the sheer brutality of human suffering are woven together in a story that is as emotionally devastating as it is compelling. But what struck me most was that the battle doesn’t end when the Americans return home from Vietnam. For Frankie, and so many women like her, a different kind of war is only just beginning. The struggle to return to some semblance of normality, the psychological scars of service, and the indignity of having their experiences dismissed or erased are just as confronting as the war itself.

This is what I love about historical fiction when it’s done well. It takes enormous historical events and makes them deeply personal, reminding us that behind the dates, statistics, and political decisions are real people whose lives were irrevocably changed. And importantly, it challenges whose stories we have traditionally chosen to remember.

A tough but necessary read. Beautifully written, emotionally exhausting, and a powerful reminder that women were there too.

Read and rated book 58 of 2026, 4.5 stars - ‘Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things’ by Pierre Novellie.

Fantastic book outlining Pierre’s experience of later diagnosis and his process of learning about and understanding autism, prompted by a heckle. Highly recommend the audiobook, it’s well read by the author and very witty. It would also be handy to have the physical book to refer back to or dip in and out of so I may have to buy it!

Next listen - ‘An Immense World’ by Ed Yong. This is also on @borrowbox in my area so if you’re in the UK and you haven’t got this app yet get it done! All you need is a library card.
