POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Thursday…day four of my half term diaries and a fun one today!

Early start meant reading with the sunrise…the perfect time to get lost in Mermaid of the Black Conch.

A surprise trip to Legoland for our boys, thanks to @skytv We all had a great day, and some of my books even enjoyed the trip; Adult Assembly Required and the Fixer Upper matched too perfectly!

Home to relax with a book and glass of wine…it’s my turn today on the booktour for In Safe Hands by @authorivyngeow It’s my second book of Ivy’s and I’ve loved both of them. In Safe Hands is the perfect title for this one as there are so many elements of people not knowing who they can and can’t turn too. We start with Genevieve as she returns to London after running a successful sommelier business in Singapore with her son, Jasper they reunite with her Father in somewhat mysterious circumstances. I cannot give too much away about the storyline as the interlinking is so well done that I don’t want to give anything at all away! It’s a story about how we all just want to feel loved and wanted and how some will go further (much further) than others to get it. I loved all the characters, even the ones you aren’t supposed to as they were all so different and yet also not. The wine choice played on my mind here, as a sommelier Genevieve knew what she was talking about- it needed to be something impressive and I found it in this Riesling from @redheadswine I love everything these wines stand for and could see Genevieve recommending them in the Peony had the story gone in another direction. This one is the Riesling, a Barossa from Australia, a tick for our expert. I chose it as the label says from time to time a wine is made from a small batch of special grapes and they may never make the same wine again….it gave me the vibe that we need to appreciate each moment and each connection for exactly what it is; something which each of the characters learn something about. It also says it’s a stellar match to spicy foods…read it to make that connection make sense.

What would you like to see in Lego form?

A Book that…

you would like to live inside.

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert is one of my all time favourites. If I could jump into any book I have read it would be this one. It’s such a vibe!

Tagging some bookish babes as usual and wishing you all a restful weekend, filled with great reads.

Hello everyone,

Another day, another wonderful dish from @ellysplate as part of the @tandemcollectiveuk cook along. I must admit I was a bit sceptical about vegan mince but this absolutely hit the spot! A little bit spicy and way more filling than anticipated. I can’t wait to try and incorporate this with different dishes.

Happy reading (or cooking in this case!),

Hello everyone,

I am super excited to get involved in a cookalong with @tandemcollectiveuk for @ellysplate debut cookbook. Or more precisely watch my family cook the recipes and try to photograph things left handed as I recover from a wee bit of surgery. So not my usual unboxing but everything’s proving a bit tricky with one arm in a sling 😂. Absolutely looking forward to filling my days with picking recipes to get excited about. We are kicking off later this week and I am so excited about recipes that’s I’m not going to have to substitute egg out of! I’ll tag the others involved in the cookalong so you can check them out as well.

Happy reading,
-A 💕

AD/PR product| channeling my own personal Orlando with a hint of Blackadder for the Orlando readalong/watchalong. We’re reading Virginia Woolf’s novel and watching a new documentary by Paul B Preciado called Orlando. My Political Biography. The trailer looks very intriguing. I’ve read the book before but a very long time ago when they made the film starring Tilda Swinton. I’m looking forward to rereading along with my fellow readers. #orlandoreadalong #orlandowatchalong #orlandomypoliticalbiography #paulbpreciado #tandemreadalong

People On The Spine

Love the type of challenges that have you taking a closer look at the books on your shelves, so thank you @c_likes_ for the tag! I’m passing the torch.

Unusually in this picture there are more books I’ve read than haven’t, go me! Will I reuse a version of this pic for a thriller Thursday soon? Maybe, mind your business.

Please let me know what you’re all reading, I’m still struggling to pick anything up 🥲

Happy Mother’s Day to my UK followers, hope you have a lovely day whatever you’re doing.

Saturday Spotlight 🔦

Taking today to show some appreciation to an author I love ❤️

R.F. Kuang

I haven’t read The Poppy War series yet, but I’m hoping to get to them in the new year. Babel in particular is a masterpiece. ❤️

Tagging a few bookstagrammers to prompt you to share the work of an author you love.

My sister is throwing a party today celebrating the birthday of our youngest (my 2 year old niece) and the oldest (my 89 year old yiayia) women in our family. ❤️🎉

What are your Saturday plans?
