I much prefer that cover to the hardback!

Will do that now. Thank you both very much!

Ooh! I have Everything Will Swallow You on my TBR list…could I please have this one if the offer still stands?

Just getting to the end of Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead. My choice for book group so taking my time and will need notes!

If you read a chapter per day, it takes a year (which is what I’m doing and almost done!).

An illustration of this year's game. Text says: "Hidden Books Game is BACK! Play at nationalbooktokens.com" and "Win £500 to spend on books".

Booklovers, your favourite game is back! 📚🔎

Guess all 20 books in the #HiddenBooksGame and you could win a £500/€500 National Book Token to spend in your local bookshop (the best gift ever, in our opinion).

Can we talk about the blurb on books and the fact that it, well, it lies! Disappointed by another novel that didn’t live up to the blurb. 📚💙
