I love getting books for my friends' kids. Get them interested early is what I say.

A book over an iPad all day, every day. Maybe I'm an Awful Auntie, maybe I'm the best. You decide 😏

I did time with Serial Killers... ... and a number of friendly book lovers on Monday night, courtesy of the lovely Naomi from @tandemcollectiveuk and her crew!

My first ever book event, and quite frankly choosing Alcotraz to celebrate the audio release of #talkingwithserialkillers by Christopher Berry-Dee was a stroke of genius!

As we sat in the cells, wearing our orange overalls, it was the more chilling to hear the serial killers through the speakers for a chance to take a sneaky peek into their twisted minds.

The guest of honor, a former London Metropolitan police detective DCI Colin Sutton, told us about his experience catching Levi Bellfield and I was mesmerised. (True crime junkie over here, hi! 👋😏) I regret that I didn't make more of an effort to go up to many of you guys who attended. (I'm much less shy online, guys!!) However, I loved seeing everyone having a great time.

It was also absolutely amazing to finally meet @abookloversdiary and @velvetreadsbooks 😘

Sunday's are the best days to take time off and chill on the sofa all day. (Granted, this is something I like to do any day, and often actually do 🥴) I am determined to finish Misery today that I'm reading for @abookloversdiary #2020thrillerbookclub. I recently watched the film again and I am so pleasantly surprised by how similar it is to the book so far!

Annie is as crazy as I expected her to be, and Paul.. Poor Paul 👀😂 What are your plans today?

It looks glorious out there, but I bet its FREEZING?! 🥶

Here's a review of a book I avoided like a plague!

One of the most hyped about books of 2017/2018 and as always I was afraid I'd be the only person who didn't like it.

How wrong was I? Very, very wrong.

Starr Carter's world is shattered when she is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed.

As it turns out, I'm a sucker for YA. The Hate U Give is honest, brutal, inspiring, eye-opening and straight up infuriating! I was seething throughout the story. It felt real, raw and honest. There was no sugar-coating; no trying to make it "sound politically correct". And that's what I loved most about this book. "Not a true story" type of book that in reality is based on all of the kids stories who have been unlawfully killed by the very people who are meant to keep them safe and protect them; and who's murders are covered up and brushed under the carpet.

An absolute must read.

5 out of 5.

Being my own photographer is kinda tough, you know! But I finished Perfect Match yesterday and.. I'm glad I read it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Justification is a remarkable thing - takes all those solid lines and blurs them, so that honor becomes as supple as a willow, and ethics burst like soap bubbles." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Perfect Match is the second novel I've read by Picoult, and it will definitely not be my last. Again, I can see why she's so highly praised (and considered immensely controversial!). Her books make you debate, not only with others but with yourself.

Perfect Match follows Nina, an assistant district attorney, who considers a court room her office; a space that's intimidating for many people but not for her, and she knows the rules.

Nina and her family's world is turned upside down when they discover her five year old has been sexually abused. Will she trust the justice system to punish the perpetrator? Would you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "... Nathaniel wishes just once someone would come up to him and think of him as some kid, instead of The One This Happened To." Incredible piece of work.

5 out of 5.

Book review? Sure.

The Turn of the Key was my first Ruth Ware book, and boy did I enjoy the ink out of it! 🖋️ Full review on my blog, link in bio, but in summary:

1) Fast paced
2) Spooky atmosphere
3) Believable characters (some less charming than others!)
4) At least one jaw dropping moment
5) Written as a letter and thoroughly enjoyable

I cannot wait to pull the other Ruth Ware books out of my TBR jar.

4 out of 5 🌟

Now this is a story all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside down.
I would like to take a minute, hey it's not fair,
I was sent a book you should be able to smell from over there! 😷

Guys all jokes aside, Misery was my last book order before New Year's #bookbuyingban. It's @abookloversdiary #2020thrillerbookclub January's pick and I was so excited to take part.

The book looks like it's in an amazing condition - yes. But OH HONEY it reeks 😩

I've left it in a bag with baking soda, it's also been sat outside for days and the smell is still there. I'm so upset by World Of Books that they're dead to me! Bye, Felicia 🥴

But more importantly, how am I going to be reading this smelly book on the train? Ew.

Hey, I'd wish you happy Saturday but

1) I put all Christmas decorations back in the cupboard today - this sucks!

2) I read the Feeling is the Secret and.. Didn't like it - which also sucks!

3) No more Christmas theme background - this sucks the most!

WHAT A WACKY SATURDAY 😭

How are you guys?
