Currently reading The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter. My plan for today is to drink tea and get through a good chunk of that. I just finished Still Life by Louise Penny and the Whisper Network by Chandler Baker. I love to read but it doesn’t happen when I’m drinking. So glad to have fallen back into books as this journey continues! It gives me another reason to stay sober.

Oh it’s good! You will like it!
Finally starting to read again. Just finished the lovely bones by Alice Sebold. Tough subject matter, well written and it needed some redemption at the end. But this was all a bit too much of a neat happyish end. Anyway, some Terry Pratchett next. Still haven’t read about 10 of his discworld novels yet. Those are always good to me.

Lovely Bones came up in a conversation I had with a friend recently. I havent read it, and had never heard of it actually. I think maybe its a sign and I should get a copy.

How did you find it? I thought it was great, and I loved the chapter that involved a birthday (trying to avoid spoilers incase you haven’t got there yet 
). I had a grin on my face for that whole bit. Lovely stuff. And although it shares a very central theme with 1984 it’s not as bleak to me, a bit weirder tho.
I have a week off work so looking forward to catching up with some of the many, many books I have bought during lockdown
