It was book group this morning so picked up my March read, #TheWomaninThePicture by Katharine McMahon

I loved all the twists in #ItsNotWhatYouThink from @claremackwrites.bsky.social and @harpercollins.bsky.social. Next up, #NoSafePlace by Hannah Brennan, the first book in the Detective Liz Field series

My #FiveStarFlashback this week is #DarkObjects from @simontoyne.bsky.social. The first book in the Rees & Khan series is dark and chilling. There's a great dynamic between the lead characters too.

The sun is shining, it's officially spring and it's #WonkyWednesday so I thought I'd post a stack of spring colours.

I've read half of these. Are any of them favourites of yours?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

#ItsNotWhatYouThink from @claremackwrites.bsky.social and @harpercollins.bsky.social certainly lives up to it's title. Not just twists galore, the story carries an emotional punch too.

At times it felt as if I was reading classic crime noir with #TheLateGreats by @nickquantrill.bsky.social.
Next up is #ItsNotWhatYouThink from @claremackwrites.bsky.social and @harpercollins.bsky.social, but I’m not sure I’ll get much read this weekend as I’m heading to #BayTales26

#BookSky

#FiveStarFlashback this week is #Cuckoo by @callieuntitled.bsky.social (also published as Claire, Darling).

I loved the unsettled feeling throughout as we discovered why Claire's fiance was suddenly ghosting her.

I loved everything about #HowToGetAwayWithMurder from Rebecca Philipson & @transworldbooks.bsky.social. A refreshing take on the serial-killer-thriller; great characters, lots of suspense and a karmic ending.
