⭐⭐ C O V E R R E V E A L ⭐⭐ So excited to be able to share the gorgeous cover for @wendyholdenauthor's new novel, THE GOVERNESS! It's published this summer and tells the story of Marion 'Crawfie' Crawford Crawfie first became Governess to the young princesses, Margaret and Elizabeth. She consequently joined the inner circle of the world's most famous family and as a progressive young working-class woman in a conservative, ancient institution, she brought radical change to the family -- until a perceived betrayal forced her out... This one is going straight on my TBR! This is going to be must-read for fans of The Crown. And you can pre-order now bit.ly/TheGovernessHB @welbeckpublish are kindly sending me a proof so I will share my thoughts with you asap! Thanks to @tandemcollectiveuk for the opportunity😃 . . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #TheGovernessBook #coverreveal #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #bibliophile #bookworm #bookcommunity #unitedbookstagram #instabook #newbooks #igreads #books #lovereading #igreaders #marioncrawford #wendyholden
📚 B O O K R E V I E W 📚 And the Stars Were Burning Brightly by Danielle Jawado is fantastic and horrific at the same time. Its absolutely heart breaking from chapter 1. I don't want to give away spoilers so here's the blurb: When fifteen-year-old Nathan discovers that his older brother Al, has taken his own life, his whole world is torn apart. Al was special. Al was talented. Al had so many dreams ... so why did he do it? Convinced that his brother was in trouble, Nathan decides to retrace Al’s footsteps. As he does, he meets Megan, Al's former classmate, who is as determined as Nathan to keep Al's memory alive. Together they start seeking answers, but will either of them be able to handle the truth about Al’s death when they eventually discover what happened? The full review is up on the blog but it's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me 😍 Thank you @netgalley for the digital copy in return for an honest review. . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #yafiction #yalit #daniellejawando #burnbright #unitedbookstagram #bookcommunity #bookrecommendation
Popsugar Reading Challenge Book 12 Prompt: A book with more than 20 letters in the title Bookstagram made me buy this one! And I'm glad it did. And They Called it Camelot is a fictionalised account of the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Starting with her courtship with JFK through to the death of Aristotle Onassis, it charts love, betrayal, loss, infidelity and politics. Jackie is a complex woman whose love for her husband means accepting things about him that hurt her. This is a great read - there more on the blog 😀 . . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #bibliophile #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #instabook #newblogpost #bookcommunity #unitedbookstagram #instabook #jfk #kennedyfamily #jackiekennedy #andtheycalleditcamelot #stephaniemariemorton #popsugarreadingchallenge #popsugarreadingchallenge2020
📚 B O O K R E V I E W 📚 Anyone else using the extra time to catch up on some @netgalley reads 😀 British Murder is a collection of two Lucy Stone mysteries both set in England. Agatha Christie style, amateur detective/crime reporter, Lucy, helps the Brotish police solve some unexplained deaths on her holidays. Intriguing mysteries and great characters, these are fun reads if you're a fan of cosy mysteries The full review is up on the blog 😀 . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #bibliophile #bookcommunity #unitedbookstagram #instabook #murdermystery #netgalley #lucystonemysteries #lesliemeier #britishmurder
📚 B O O K R E V I E W 📚 The Socalite by J'Nell Ciesielski Loved the cover! Quite enjoyed the book. Romantic, historical fiction set in Occupied France during WW2. British socialite Kat, heads to Paris to convince her sister to come home. Ellie is having an affair with an influential Nazi soldier and has no intention of coming back. Barrett Anderson runs a bar and secretly trains resistance fighters. He's assigned to watch over the two young women and make sure they back to England safely. But France is a dangerous place and no one really knows who to trust. Lots of bits I really liked in this book but I didn't really warm to any of the characters ⭐⭐⭐ Thank you @Netgalley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review. The full review is up on the blog this afternoon. . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #instabook #mumsthatread #unitedbookstagram #discoverunder1k #Netgalley #thesocialite #newbooks #bookcommunity
I was challenged to have a go at a yellow stack - here's a few bright books and our gorgeous vintage teapot. And for a change I've actually read 5 out of 7 of these 😃 Apple Tree Yard and It Only Happens in the Movies are going on my lockdown list. Thanks @bookwormnurse for the challenge. If you haven't had a go yet see what you can find 😃 . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookworm #lovereading #igreaders #igreads #instaread #instabook #unitedbookstagram #bookcommunity #bookstack #yellowbookstack #bookstagramchallenge #vintageteapot #yellow
