📝Is anyone as excited as I was today because the post office is back after the long weekend?! — Here are the stack of books I received today. They all sound amazing! I will post all the details tomorrow on my IG stories. Stay tuned! — Have you read any of these? Is there one in particular you would like me to review first? — Thank you so much for all the publishers sending them my way. More details to come tomorrow! #thetrainwasontime #penguineuropeanwriters #anoceanofminutes #themannequinmakers #reddog #afloat
#TheWaterCure Paperback version is out on 25 April! — “It’s an old story and I’m so tired of telling it - the oldest story in the world and yet I can’t put it down, I can’t stop it from dragging on my body, so don’t make me tell it again. The story doesn’t end or even begin with me. You can imagine. You can tell it to yourself.” — Wow. That’s the first word popped up in my mind when I finished reading The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh today. I was surprised this was such a fast read. I have never read a book like this - a book about three sisters living on an island with their parents and being cut off from the world. One day three men arrived on the island and everything changed. It is very raw, dark and some parts quite twisted... it will make you feel quite uncomfortable and question the characters in the story. I kept asking myself while I was reading it “this doesn’t look right” “are they sane?!” — I am very impressed by Sophie’s writing and story telling. It is beautifully haunting which fits the story perfectly. The twist and turn of the storylines are very well structured and thought out. This is a book with an open ending. I normally do not like books which leave the readers to figure it out but in this case and this book, it is just the right and perfect ending to the story. — If you love Handmaid’s Tale then you should definitely pick this up! — Thank you so much @penguinukbooks for sending me this gorgeous paperback to review! Make sure you check out other posts / reviewed by these lovely accounts on this bookstagram tour! (Swipe ◀️) — #readersofig #bookcollector #booksofig
📝Do you read thriller or suspense? — It wasn’t a genre that I used to read BUT ever since I read The Girl Before by JP Delaney, it has become one of the genres I love to read! — I have become a huge fan of JP Delaney. His books are so clever and the plot twists are so well thought out. You never see it coming! I have loved all his books! The Girl Before and Believe Me are both amazing! I am soooo excited for his upcoming release in August The Perfect Wife! I just know I t is going to be mind-blowing! — Thanks so much @quercusbooks @hannah_is_reading for gifting me this copy!!!😱😱😱 — Abbie wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. The man by her side explains that he's her husband. He's a titan of the tech world, the founder of one of Silicon Valley's most innovative startups. He tells Abbie she's a gifted artist, a doting mother to their young son, and the perfect wife. Five years ago, she suffered a terrible accident. Her return from the abyss is a miracle of science, a breakthrough in artificial intelligence that has taken him half a decade to achieve. But as Abbie pieces together memories of her marriage, she begins questioning her husband's motives - and his version of events. Can she trust him when he says he wants them to be together for ever? And what really happened to her, half a decade ago?

#theflatshare Happy happy publication day for The Flatshare by @betholearyauthor ❤️👏🏼 — “Tiffy and Leon share a flat Tiffy and Leon share a bed Tiffy and Leon have never met...” — When I saw these headlines, I knew I needed to read this book! It is such a feel good story that is full of quirkiness, humour, love and heart! I really really love Tiffy and Leon. Really really love this book! Can’t recommend it enough! — @hannah_is_reading @ellakroftpatel from @quercusbooks were so kind to invite me to the breakfast launch this morning (such a lovely goodies bag!
