What are people reading this weekend? I am reading this gem of a book about a young Japanese girl who is employed to speak to Venus in Latin, when the museum is closed and falls in love with her. Beautifully written #Booksky #japanesefiction

Now look.

We're off on holiday on Tuesday.

15 days in France!

Ferry over & then a big road trip going anticlockwise around the country.

But this means I'm gonna miss 3 #buyastrangerabook days!

Soz.

So, from midday tomorrow, there's going to be a BIG SPECIAL ONE.

Hope you can help make it epic

What are you reading this week? I am reading this book, which is more a coming of age book, even though it starts with someone strangling themselves while the main character watches #Booksky
