So here's a stack of books that I haven't yet read but spell the word Christmas in front of my Christmas tree ☝️🥴 @amysreading_nook #spellchristmasinbooks #bookskatlikes #bookstack #bookworm #christmastree #christmasbooks #readingnooks #bookblogger #ukbookblogger #ukbookstagram #lovereading #booknerd #reading #bookclub #bibliophile #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookclubofinstagram

Hey, I listened to a book and it was good 😁

I'm in love with the Christmas tree backdrop. Wonder if I can convince the boyfriend that we should keep it up all year 😜

Really enjoyed Seven Days by Alex Lake. A chilly story about a teenager who was kidnapped and held against her will in a small box room for years. You can imagine what went on 😕

It kept my interest, I loved the different point of views and was happy with how it ended (although perhaps a little cheesy and predictable). 4 out of 5 🌟 for sure!

What was the last audio book you listened to?

Currently reading.. Or should I say currently trying to read but keep getting distracted by the stupid TikTok videos 😂

I have 2 days to get to our first check point for @bartowskibookclub readalong and I have 220 pages to go. Someone please send help 🥴

Happy Thursday!

Here's my attempt to try and create a #booktree of the books I've read this year.

Psst! This isn't all of them, to date I've read 64 books this year and I'm bloody proud 🤭

My absolute favourites are:
The Opposite of Always 💕
The Librarian of Auschwitz 💔
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine 🏋️‍♀️
The Woman in the Window 🔭
And of course one of the rereads - The Fault in Our Stars 🌟

I'm hoping to read 70 by end of December so I reach double of what I set out in January 😎

How many books have you managed to read this year? (Even if it's 1, that's an achievement 😊) #bookskatlikes #bookstack #favouritebooks #bookworm #bookcommunity #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookclubofinstagram #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookblogger #bookcollector #paranormal #basedontruestory #bookreviews #thursdaystack #christmas #christmasbooks #holidaysarecoming

📚 December TBR 📚

It's hard to believe we're already in the last month of 2019! Is it just me or did this year fly by far quicker than any previous ones? I feel like it was January yesterday 😳

I am excited to see if I can reach double the goal I set myself at the beginning of the year! Only 6 more books to go 🤭

I also hope to get through all my outstanding NetGalley reads so that I can be smarter next year and request the ARCs one by one 😅

What's on your list to read in December?

📚 November Wrap Up 📚

Ending November on a high!

I cannot say that November has been my best month rating wise, but I did really enjoy A Nearly Normal Family which I have literally just finished!

Everyone is lying, everyone has secrets and there isn't anything a parent wouldn't do to do save their child. This includes 18 year old Stella's parents. What is a pastor and an attorney to do if their child has been arrested for murder 🤫

A captivating domestic drama/legal thriller, narrated by three characters from their viewpoints definitely made it an interesting read!

I was also pleasantly surprised that the translation didn't take away from the enjoyment of the book. Had I not known any different I would have thought it was originally written in English.

Side note, I managed to get my NetGalley feedback ratio to 76% this month! I only read 1 physical book this month and really miss the smell of books haha!! Here's what I read this month:

What Dementia Teaches Us About Love - Nicci Gerrard (November 2019) 5/5🌟
The Banker's Wife - Cristina Alger (November 2019) 3/5🌟
Bone China - Laura Purcell (November 2019) 3/5🌟
Rosemary's Baby - Ira Levin (November 2019) 2/5🌟
A Nearly Normal Family - M. T. Edvardsson (November 2019) 4/5🌟

How did you do in November?

Hey guys! Is it possible to like the author's style yet be absolutely furious with the actual story itself?

Spoiler alert!!... I may ruin a bit of this book below, so consider yourself warned 👀

We picked up Rosemary's Baby as a follow on to our rather successful readalong last month and wanted to continue with the spooky theme. I'm looking at you @abookloversdiary @itsallaboutthebooksuk @evavstheworld and @bibliobirgit 💋

Again - SPOILERRRRRRRRRS!! I loved Levin's writing from the start. It draws you in, is easy to follow and keeps you on your toes. Sounds great, right? Yes so it was.. Until I stayed on my toes all the way to the end. And I mean to the last sentence.

I'm still seething the book ended so abruptly and NOTHING happened!

The build up was great, the atmosphere was eerie and deliciously dark, but that's kind of where it ended. I wasn't spooked, I had zero body chills and was literally left dumbfounded by the last sentence (not in a good way!) I hoped for a good old "she went crazy" or "it all happened in her head" type of ending!

I hear there's a sequel but I'm not even going to bother with it. If the reviews are anything to go by it would leave me even more upset than this one.

2 out of 5 🌟

However I will give Levin another chance with another book because I really did like his style.

A massive thank you to @avon_books for this exciting book bundle I bagged as the #HallowReads competition winner (totally milking this until I'm sick of it!) All the books sound AMAZING and straight up my street too!

I already own and have read (and also loved may I add) both Sleep and Through the Wall, so look out for a potential giveaway - as soon as I've stopped sniffing the fresh smelling books 🥴 (anyone else do that? Thought so 🤭) Cannot wait to dive into the rest of them. Today's bookmail was just amazing 🥳
