I'm thrilled to have been included in the #Booksta I'm thrilled to have been included in the #BookstagramTour for @janecorry's brand new release - We All Have Our Secrets 🤫 I was dying to jump straight into this one after reading the back blurb: "Emily made one bad decision, and now her career could be over. Her family home on the Cornish coast is the only place where she feels safe. But when she arrives, there's a stranger living with her father. Emily doesn't trust the beautiful young woman, convinced that she's telling one lie after another. Soon, Emily becomes obsessed with finding out the truth. But should some secrets stay buried forever?" What begins as a bit of a medical mystery turns into a twisty thriller with two very unreliable narrators, and even takes you back in time with diary entries from the second world war - this book sends your mind down so many different paths, and I enjoyed having no idea which woman to like and trust from one chapter to the next (which is probably why I finished it in about 3 days). In many books, particularly thrillers, there are 'good guys' and 'bad guys', but in We All Have Our Secrets every character lived in the grey area. Each person with a part in the story had their moral and ugly sides, which kept me guessing until the end. I've been lucky enough to read this one on a hammock by the sea this week, so I got a little added ambience for reading a thriller set in Cornwall! We All Have Our Secrets is out in eBook and paperback, and if you love: 🏃‍♀️ Fast-paced stories 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Family drama 🌊 A seaside setting 💬 Multiple, unreliable narrators  🪖 Historical elements 😯 Surprise reveals ... you're probably going to want to add this to your bookshelf. Let me know if you read it! HUGE thank you to @vikingbooksuk for sending me this advanced copy and including me on the tour schedule 🙏 #WeAllHaveOurSecrets #bookstagram #booktour #booklover #bookworm #thrillerbooks #thrillerreader #amreading #readers #booklovers #bookreview #bookreviews

Photo dump • London Writers' Gym ✍ About a ye Photo dump • London Writers' Gym ✍ About a year ago I joined a book club (@caitlincurry - the queen of making me read more 🙌) and off the back of that I set up a small writing group where writers could come do 'writing sprints' together (it's called the London Writers' Gym, but unlike an actual gym, you don't dread going). It's turned an otherwise lonely activity into something fun and social 💃 Looking forward to more sessions with this lot ❤ P.S. I've struggled to find venues for a larger bunch of us in central London that you don't need to pay a deposit for, so any recommendations are very welcome! 🙏 #writers #londonwriters #londonvenues #writinglife #writinggroup #writing

Heyyyy, it's my first ever proof copy of a book! H Heyyyy, it's my first ever proof copy of a book! Huge thank you to @vikingbooksuk who very kindly sent this #gifted copy of Book Lovers by @emilyhenrywrites for me to read (along with a chocolate bar - score!). I've been away travelling and only just got back to this exciting delivery, so haven't made it all the way through yet but I think it's a testament to how good it is that I've had the book for like 2 days and I'm almost finished. This slow reader is a changed woman 💃 I haven't read a proper rom-com like this is years, for no reason other than I've been distracted by other genres. This one is very funny, cleverly pokes fun at those Hallmark channel-esque small-town love stories we all hate to love, and humanises the glamorous high-heeled ex-girlfriend character that's been so commonly discarded. (City slickers can be nice too, people!) The MC, Nora, is very likeable for a workaholic, and after accidentally reading a string of books with characters I really couldn't relate to, it's been nice to live in her world for a while, and in Sunshine Falls 🌄 If you want a fun summer read, this is a great one to add to your basket for your next Waterstones haul. Anyone already read it? (Or the author's other books - You And Me On Vacation or Beach Read, perhaps?) Let me know what you think. I haven't read the others but I'd like to!   Book Lovers is out now 📚 #WeAreBookLovers
