A story that hints at the supernatural, but where the events have a haunting and poignant explanation. #booksky #historicalfiction+ Full review on my Booksta

A fledgling author at the start of an adventure… please join me! #booksky #authors #readingcommunity

A fabulous non-fiction read about a true-crime and miscarriage of justice. The author reconstructs events...but does he solve this century old mystery? Full review on my booksta. #historybookchat #booksky #bookreview

Hahaha! I am a rank amateur compared to you when it comes to page markers . They are a recent discovery for me and no going back now. I feel the colours say a lot about you as a person. 😂

Ohh, yes, I'm with your there. I used to divert to the library on the way home from school, to get that fix. 😍

Beautiful 😍

Obsessed with my new page markers.
What simple things make you absurdly happy? 😃
Let’s share and smile together .

Love reading about the Titanic but ready for a fresh take on it? Ship of Dreams is just that - character driven with the Titanic as a backdrop. (Full review on Booksta) #booksky #historicalfiction+ #bookreviwe

Is today my lucky 🍀 day?
Saw this beauty on the morning dog walk.
How should I take best advantage of this good luck? 🥰 #goodluck #dogwalk #happythoughts

5-stars for the true story of a woman tried for the same murder 3 times (told as a novel). An engrossing insight into what people will do to survive. #booksky #HistoricalFiction+ What book based on a true story last had you hooked?

Read some great things about this book. Be interested to read your review.

I had a go at bread making. Used a recipe for the air fryer - the result looked like the love child of a brain crossed with a cauliflour. Inedible!

The depth of information and knowledge in this book is staggering. A catalogue of some very un-British behaviour. (See my Booksta for full review.) #booksky #historybookchat #bookreview

I swear Pog can tell the time. The clock chimed midday and she came asking for her lunch 🐕💕 #dogsky

Hugely long shot but if there are any experts here in the geography of late 18th-century Vienna, please get in touch!

I am trying to roughly locate an address but I only have a few details and maps are proving a bit gnarly for a total outsider 🙃 #18c #vienna

Love an honest review.
I haven't read this one yet...perhaps I won't bother.

Have you read The Painter's Daughters?
What did you think?
There are so many layers to this book...and some intriguing ideas in there and how lovely that this ficitonalised account features the Gainsborough's real-life daughters on the cover!

This is too good!

#booksky #bookjoke

That is so perfect!

Sound great and such a wonderful cover!

Pretty awesome! Multi-talented...

Nothing quite like the wind in your ears #dogsky #happyplace

Just finished The Painter's Daughters - one of those books that leaves you spoilt for the next read.
Does that happen to you? What was the last book you read that made it difficult to move on? #booksky #historicalfiction+

Absolutely, there is a beauty in simple language. However, every now and again, a word's rhythm makes a longer word the perfect fit...but only if used sparingly. Gosh that sounds pretentious!
