In the space of 2 weeks, I’ve read 5 books by #FreidaMcFadden, ‘The Tenant, The Teacher, The Coworker, The Locked Door and Never Lie’, I think it’s fair to say that I’ve become a bit addictive to her grippy, fast paced writing.

A new author for me and I’m absolutely loving the first book I’m reading by #FreidaMcFadden

‘The One You Least Suspect’ by @littlebrown.bsky.social author @brianmcgilloway.bsky.social is a fantastic tense crime thriller about power, authority and a battle of conscience that is powerfully written. #TheOneYouLeastSuspect #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

‘The Women’ by @panmacmillan.bsky.social author #KristinHannah is a story of love, loss and recognition and made for gripping, sad and upsetting reading. #TheWomen #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

A very belated happy publication day to @vickinotaro.com on the release of her second novel, ‘Long Story’, addictive and fun packed with strong characters, entertaining scenarios and an insight into the world of Hollywood. #LongStory #BookReview #BookBlogger handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

I’ve literally spent my weekend ‘Swept Away’ with this book. The perfect book to get lost in this weekend. #BethOLeary

‘What If I Never Get Over You’ by @PenguinUKBooks author @paigetoonauthor.bsky.social is another fantastic Paige turner! Right from the first page, packed with romance and drama, it was the perfect love story to get lost in. #WhatIfINeverGetOverYou #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

How do you handle your TBR book piles? I find myself making smaller book piles around the house that are less overwhelming and more achievable to read. It’s very satisfying when I manage to complete them. #bookblogger #reader

Saturday reading @paigetoonauthor.bsky.social

Happy publication day to Catherine Ryan Howard, her latest book called ‘Burn After Reading’ is out. I loved ‘56 Days’ so looking forward to reading this one!

Happy publication day to @paigetoonauthor.bsky.social on the release of her book called ‘What If I Never Get Over You’, looking forward to reading this one!

‘Long Story’ by @vickinotaro.com, I absolutely adored this witty and emotional rollercoaster of a story. Escapism reading at its finest. #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

I’ve spent the last couple of evenings reading ‘Sweat’ by Emma Healey, a dark and somewhat funny insight into toxic relationships, revenge and food obsessions with a protagonist that you can’t decide whether to like or dislike!

So excited to be joining the Books and the City #coverreveal for #Slipstream - the debut steamy sports romance from Madge Maril, publishing in May. It’s sounds brilliant! www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Slipst...

When I was a child and I read a book that scared me like the ‘Goosebumps’ series by RL Stine, I could never sleep in the same room as it and this book by Daisy Johnson had the exact same effect. ‘The Hotel’ is Creepy, Chilling and very uncomfortable to read.

Good Sister’ by Sinead Moriarty is packed with family drama, secrets, moving on and is a tremendous story! #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

Treat your Kindle to the latest thriller by Adele Parks. For the month of April ‘First Wife’s Shadow’ is only 99p, so go on treat yourself! amzn.to/3YdL3y6

I’ve been reading ‘Conclave’ by Robert Harris for my book club and I’m thoroughly enjoying the mystery and drama of selecting a new pope. This is not normally the type of book that I’d read but I guess that’s the purpose of a book club, to widen your book horizon!

Exciting news as the shortlist for the Dylan Thomas Prize Award was announced featuring 6 extraordinary, emerging voices, including 3 debuts, whose writing experiments with form, structure and style to explore identity, gender, grief and sexuality. #SUDTP25 swansea.ac.uk/dylan-thomas-p…

Cosied up on the sofa with a cup of tea, a KitKat Chunky and the latest book by Sinead Moriarty whilst it’s lashing outside. Bliss.

‘The Forgetting’ by @hannahbeckerman.bsky.social is a fantastic return to Hannah Beckerman, a twisty story that pulls you in from the first page with a dark undertone weaved throughout. #TheForgetting #BookReview handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

Started to watch ‘Candy’ a new true crime drama series on the Channel 4 app and felt like I had watched it already. Turns out it’s the same story as ‘Love and Death that was on ITV, just under a different name.

It’s #WorldBookDay, what’s everyone reading?

Some fantastic books to look forward to reading over the next while @patriciascanlan.bsky.social, @heidiswain.bsky.social and @rachelhore.bsky.social #BookSky #BookBlogger

Happy publication day to @mariankeyes.bsky.social on the release of ‘My Favourite Mistake’, a charming, funny and honest story and it’s the latest Walsh sister book. Get your copy now! #MyFavouriteMistake handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

Sunday night reading is ‘The Stranger at the Wedding’ by #AEGauntlett. I only started it this morning and I’m already 20 chapters in! Addictive. @henryholtbooks.bsky.social

The last few days I’ve been reading ‘I Love You, I Love You, I Love You by Laura Dockrill and what an absolutely glorious stunning love story, I honestly could not put it down!

I’m walking around like everything is fine. But deep down, my ankle sock has come off in my shoe.

With Storm Éowyn on its way, the brand new book by @heidiswain.bsky.social sounds like the perfect companion to cosy up with this Autumn! #AllWrappedUp is the perfect seasonal romance! simonandschuster.co.uk/books/All-Wrap…#RespectRomFicic

I’m hoping to attend my first book club at the end of the month and I’ve been reading ‘The Goldfinch’ by Donna Tartt. At over 800 pages, I was initially intimidated by the length of the book but over the last couple of days, I’ve really got into it.

Any fans of historical fiction? ‘A New Chapter at the Little Penguin Bookshop’ by Joanna Toye is a wonderful, romantic story with its engaging characters, optimistic spirit and sense of community throughout. handwrittengirl.com/book-reviews...

Fantastic to see a representative from Waystar RoyCo at the Golden Globes.

Treat your Kindle to some thrillers with the January deals, all just 99p! #JohnMarrs, @jackjordanbooks.bsky.social, #AbigailDean, #LucyFoley, @harlancoben.bsky.social, @claremackwrites.bsky.social, #SharonBolten, @jocallaghankat.bsky.social, #PaulaHawkins, #AdeleParks #ShariLapenda, #RebeccaFKuang

Happy New Year everyone, have a great one and remember all you can do is your best, so go easy with the resolutions.
