| @headlinebooks book brunch | • Hello all! Yesterday I participated in @headlinebooks book brunch to celebrate some of their upcoming releases. I was trying to make curry rice for lunch and it was proven to be a wrong choice to make yesterday 😂 It took me so long and it was just too ambitious to try to make curry then. Instead I was having brioche and some crips while waiting for that to cook up. • It takes an extra few days for the post to arrive lately so I haven’t got all the books showcased in the book launch yesterday. But I do have these two beautiful proofs sent to me earlier in the year which I am so excited about! • - Hamnet by the one and only Maggie O’Farrell, coming out on 31 March - The Book of Longings by @suemonkkidd, coming out on 21 April • Once I receive my package I will post all the details for all the books included in the pile. • Thank you so much again @headlinebooks for this fun morning! • I hope you all have a great day! • •
| What is the best book to read under quarantine? | • Personally, A Gentleman in Moscow by @amortowles is the best to read right now. This book is so charming and will put everything into perspective. Count Alexander is under house arrest and has been ordered to stay in Hotel Metropol for the rest of his life. I am not surprised this book is being adopted into movie and I cannot wait to watch it! • I hope you are all doing well. Let me know what you are reading or doing to keep your spirit up lately ❤️ • Lots of love xxx • •
| #HachetteParentChildReadalong | • Hello all! I hope you are all doing well! We have received this incredible package from @hachettekids @tandemcollectiveuk for the week long readalong! The package got to us a bit later than everyone else but you bet we will he catching up and reading all of them in the next few days! • In this package we have got: -The Worrysaurus - Starwhal - Rabbit Bright ​- Avocado Asks ​- My Monster and Me • We are so excited for all of them. I already know Avocado Asks is going to make us laugh out loud 😂 can’t wait!🙌🏼🙌🏼 • If you want to see other moms review on these books, you can check out the following accounts: @bookbeforeuleap @theemilychapters @lauraloves_x_ @alicespake @jodiekym @mrscookesbooks @judes.book_life @whitbread_reads @the_bookcosy @melissajaynewarburton @riesbookshelf @sissireads @read_in_the_clouds @diaryofabookmum @busymamabookclub @read_with_care @reading_for_my_mind @booksbytheboats • We are going to read The Worrysaurus tomorrow.

| Thank you SO much Bec and @scholastic_uk | • The lovely lovely Bec at @scholastic_uk has kindly sent Maxi these amazing selections of books. We have had the books for a few days now and Maxi loves them all! He is particularly taken by The Day The Banana Went Bad 😂 He loves Banana so he can’t stop tapping the pages in this book. So cute! • We have loved and thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this bundle! Full review to come. Thank you so much again Bec for these incredible gift! • Stay tuned for our reviews❤️ • •
| Have you been reading lately? | • Good morning all! How are you?? I didn’t go live nor post yesterday as I had taken a break from social media and it was much needed! I have missed you all though! I hope you are all keeping well! • I haven’t been able to concentrate and read for the past week. Too much distraction and let’s say TV 😂 But the amazing @podsticles has introduced me to this app Forest. It is an app that helps you concentrate. So you put the time you are going to do a certain task and during that time frame you are not allow to leave this app otherwise your tree will die 😂 So you have to concentrate in doing your task and not look at your phone. It has proven to be so helpful! We have a group of people in a group chat competing and encouraging each other to be more productive! I love it! • I am determined to read today and post all the bookposts I have received during the past week. Stay tuned! • What are you reading? Let me know in the comment below❤️ • Love you all and stay safe xx • •
| 2020 Book 12 - The Slaughterman’s Daughter by Yaniv Iczkovits | • The Slaughterman’s Daughter is SOOOO GOOD! Oh my goodness. I love everything about this book. It is an uniqued, bold, fresh, mesmerising, unforgettable and epic historical adventurous story set in 19th Russia. The moment I saw the synopsis I just knew it was my type of book. • I am in love with it and I want everyone of you to read it. Sometimes brutal, sometimes humorous. It is so rich and I am utterly transfixed in this story. Definitely one of my very favourite reads in 2020. • I have something special planned with the lovely @quercusbooks, stay tuned!!! • •
