Book cover of The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb. Peach coloured, cloudy sky above a darkened river shore with a heron wading in the shallows.

Next up: The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb. 🎉 Very excited for this, I love everything I've ever read by Wally Lamb. 📚💙

A book cover of blue sea and an overhead view of a small red boat.

A Wreck of Seabirds by Karleah Olson ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I borrowed this book not knowing anything about it other than it is set in coastal Western Australia. A very interesting book, I liked how woven the stories of the 2 protagonists are, but there are no easy resolutions 📚💙 Gothic, suspense, family, the sea!

Ah! 😍

Also I can't work out what flag that is, I thought it might have been the otter?

Where's the second pic from Angie? I can't find it anywhere...but I love it! 😍

Me too! It was clever and funny. I love NS humour.

It was a book that fundamentally disregarded the nature of women. You're telling me there's groups of women on a spaceship basically having as many babies as they can and they wouldn't work together in community?

It's the best! Definitely needs a couple of re-reads.

I effin hope not!

Do you peel and eat them or eat the whole thing, shell and all?

I need a Rosetta stone that includes English!

So frustrating! Hate it when that happens 😭. Colloidal is such a good word too!

Holiday read: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚🏖️
Stone & Sky by Ben Aaronovitch, the latest in the Rivers of London series. Ask me how much I love Abigail?! ❤️ She is one of the best characters written, so unbelievably clever, and the 🦊🦊🦊 spy network 😚👌. Can't wait for the next one! Will Lesley May make a reappearance?

Go you good thing! You are amazing and can do hard things!! ❤️❤️❤️

Gorgeous woman in black bikini top underneath a jet plane on a turquoise sea beach...the gorgeous woman is happy and feeling very zen on holidays ♥️ also the said gorgeous woman is writing the alt text and thinks she looks hot 🔥.

Thailand holidays 🏖️🌊

Just finished: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. 5 ⭐ read, best book I've read this year. 📚💙 Poignant, funny, sad, moving story about friendship, love, gaming and family. I adored this book and will be thinking about it for years to come.

Hero! I'm watching from the other side of the world, just ... Flabbergasted? Shocked? Aghast? ... at what is happening in the USA. I have been to the States a couple of times, actually got married in Vegas, but you couldn't pay me enough to visit now.

That's pretty great 🎉

4/5⭐ pure comfort and nostalgia at this point.. Russell and Holmes solve the mystery of the missing Irish crown jewels with a little help from the wayward and charming Uncle Jake, a cheeky rogue presumed dead for the last 14 years....

Waterproof, lightweight, sturdy, what's not to love!

I hate songs and poems in books too, I don't know why, they just irk me when they're in a book 🤷‍♀️

Laurie R King....I should probably get the author's name right! 😳

I didn't get it. I can't understand how people were so loyal to Jude despite us knowing nothing of his personality, his sense of humour, what he talked to his friends about. They were weirdly invested in someone they knew nothing about. Can someone explain it to me like I'm dumb? 💙📚

Now reading: Knave of Diamonds by Leslie R King. It's book 19 in the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series. It's such comfort reading, I love these characters, Mary Russell is a bad ass who is both brains and brawn. 10/10 would recommend the whole series. 📚💙

Ok, skim reading parts now. It's very heavy and explicit on terrible things that happen repeatedly to the protagonist. It's too much.

I really need to read Gibson.

It took me a minute to discern that the capsicum wasn't prawns... Before that I had questions.

Taste and discernment? 😉

Watching everything that is happening in LA. Stay safe, stay strong, you're on the right side of history.

Has anyone else read this? It's a little bit trauma-porny isn't it? Can't say I'm loving it, but it's like a car crash I can't look away from. 💙📚
