QOTD: Do you ever reread books? One of the goals

QOTD: Do you ever reread books?

One of the goals I set myself for this year was to reread books that I loved when I was younger. I must have read Witch Child and Sorceress by @celiarees1 about 500 times when I was a teenager. I lovvvvveeee anything witchy and was totally captured by these stories.

I can't wait to reread them and get that hit of nostalgia!

Thank you @bloomsburypublishing for kindly gifting me these gorgeous editions.

Two recent book purchases that I am looking forward to:

✨ Writers & Lovers by Lily King
✨ Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann

The first was a swap for a book I had double of and the second I picked up for £1! So a thrifty haul

Chatting about these and some other things I'm enjoying over on the blog, if you'd like to check it out.

Doing a little bookish #throwbackthursday to this beauty of a book that I love!

It's about love, loss, families and 20th century British aristocrasty, plus how gorge is that cover!

Have you read The Pursuit of Love? What did you think?

Bonus question: did you read it based on Dolly Alderton's recommendation on the High Low? (Me too)

Review ✨ The Most Beautiful Walk in the World :

Review ✨

The Most Beautiful Walk in the World : A Pedestrian in Paris by John Baxter.

In a time where we can only but dream of traveling, this book is a god send! Once you're reading this you're walking through the streets of Paris, on your way to a café where you can sit and watch the world go by.

Full of stories and snippets into the lives of people who have lived in Paris - both famous and not - you get a real sense of what has drawn so many people to this beautiful city. Plus plenty of literary references along the way. Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald etc. The whole gang!

Definitely one to read if you're missing the traveling bug.

(Thank you for the inspiration to buy this last year @aimee_h_r!)

Very excited to have managed to get my grubby little mitts on a proof copy of How to Kill Your Family by @mackie_bella.

Blurb:
Grace Bernard is in prison for a murder she didn't commit. And, frankly, it's insulting. It's not that Grace hasn't killed anyone. It's just that when she kills, it's with far more flair.

🔪🔪🔪

HOW. GOOD. DOES. THIS. SOUND?!

Can't wait to read this debut, think it's going to be right up my street! Will share my thoughts when I do.

Ps happy Monday!

A sweet little yellow stack for Saturday.

I seem to own a crazy amount of yellow books. I keep thinking about re-ordering my bookshelves into colours and I will definitely have so many sunshine shelves!

Also, it's such an upheaval and what do I do with series? Do they stay together or get broken up into colours?

So. Many. Decisions.

All suggestions welcome on how to best organise the eve growing book collection 🌈

New grid theme who dis?

Help me pick which book to read ☺️

Here are two books on my TBR pile that I can't wait to read.

I can't believe I haven't got around to Girl, Woman, Other yet and I received Blonde Roots as a gift.

What one shall I go for first??

Review ✨ Noughts & Crosses is a YA novel set in

Review ✨

Noughts & Crosses is a YA novel set in an alternate reality where society is split between the Crosses, who have all the privileges and power, and the Noughts, who are there to serve the Crosses.

Sephy is a Cross, the lonely daughter of the deputy prime minister who is inscensed by the inequality she sees. Callum is a Nought who dreams for more from life. They've been friends forever, but as they grow older the friendship grows into something more.

. . .

This is a really interesting read that looks at racial inequality through the eyes of these two teenagers. The characters are really interesting and their narrative arcs aren't obvious or predicable. I did wish I could have got more invested in them BUT I loved the fast pace so I know you can't get everything all the time. The ending is great - didn't see it coming at all!

There are more in the series so I'm going to pick them up at some point I think.

Q: Have you read this book? I'd love to know your thoughts!
