Thanks to @otterly_bookish and @bookish_book_bish for tagging me in the springtime book challenge. Scanned the shelves and found more green covers than I thought I would 😃 . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookworm #lovereading #igreaders #igreads #instaread #instabook #unitedbookstagram #bookcommunity #springreads #bookstack #bookspines #bookaesthetic #greenbooks #bookchallenge #greenbookstack
📚 B O O K R E V I E W 📚 Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau There are bits of this book that I really liked. The recreation of the Coney Island amusements and the Edwardian hotels is wonderful. There is a real feeling of stepping back in time. The decadent lifestyle of the millionaires and their lavish 4th July picnic, the hotdogs and delight at the fairground is all vividly recreated. The main character, Peggy, is trying to rebel and reject the values of her super-rich family, but she isn't quite brave enough and finds herself caught between two worlds. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review. . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #bibliophile #bookworm #bookcommunity #Dreamland #netgalley #instabook #booksofinstagram #advancedreadercopy
Today's Sunday stack is my #springreadathon2020 tbr pile. I've picked 6 of the 10 categories for the next couple of weeks and will see how I get on. A few of these can double up for my Popsugar Reading Challenge too 😀 Looking forward to chatting books and seeing what everyone else is reading over the next couple of weeks . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookworm #lovereading #igreaders #igreads #instaread #instabook #unitedbookstagram #popsugarreadingchallenge #popsugarreadingchallenge2020 #bookblogger #mumsthatread #sundaystack #bookstack #tbrpile
📚 B O O K R E V I E W 📚 Trying to clear some of my @netgalley backlog and this is a good one. Alice is dipping her toes into internet dating and finds herself being stalked. Gareth receives a postcard from someone who couldn't have sent it which leaves him with a mystery to unravel. Ursula's whole life unravels after the death of her boyfriend. 3 strangers with their own stories that become entwined in very unexpected ways. No spoilers from me but this is very creepy. All of my guesses were completely wrong and ending is very twisty ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you @netgalley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review - which is up on the blog. See bio 😀 . . #emmasthingstoread #strangers #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #instabook #mumsthatread #bibliophile #bookworm #arc #advancedreadercopy #ebook #bookcommunity #unitedbookstagram #netgalley #goodreads
Popsugar Reading Challenge Book 8 Prompt - a book by a trans or nonbinary author This book is great! Horrifying but empowering. Jana is tall, gangly and androgynous. Bullied for her looks at school, she is scouted by a modelling agency and thrown into the spotlight as the new It Girl. This book shows the reality behind the glamorous photos - exhaustion, starvation, anxiety and abuse. I read Clean last year and loved that too. Am off to add all the rest of Juno Dawson's books to my TBR pile - she's bloody brilliant 😍 . . #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #instabook #bookcommunity #unitedbookstagram #meatmarket #junodawson #yafiction #yalit #popsugarreadingchallenge #popsugarreadingchallenge2020
📚 B O O K R E V I E W 📚 Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore This is such a fun read. Bluestocking Annabelle Archer has a scholarship to Oxford on the condition that she supports the rising suffrage movement. Aiming to gain support among influential men, her first target is the Duke of Montgomery, adviser to Queen Victoria. After a scandalous divorce, Montgomery is working hard to rebuild his reputation and the family legacy all but destroyed by drunken his father. With society expecting him to remarry soon, he needs to find a suitable Duchess. Montgomery find himself fighting his feelings for Annabelle who would make a very unsuitable wife. Historical romance, suffragettes, beautiful witty heroines, dashing heroes, a Victorian girl squad with fashion makeovers- this book has a bit of everything and was thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to the next in the series 😃 I've finished ahead of the @BABbookclub schedule and can't wait to talk about the ending! #emmasthingstoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklife #booklover #bookreview #bookworm #igreads #igreaders #bookblog #bookblogger #mumsthatread #bibliophile #bookworm #newblogpost #BABbookclub #bookcommunity #instabook #bringdowntheduke #eviedunmore
