This book absolutely devastated me! | 18.02.2024
There's one book with a TV series that everyone's been talking about that absolutely devastated me this week!
👋 Hello
Happy Sunday all! I’ve got a busy week or so as it’s Bron’s 30th so I’ve got plans for her all of this weekend and then on Thursday, I’m off to Iceland!
So this latter bit means there won’t be a newsletter next week as I’ll be unthawing myself on a plane back to Stansted! Soz to all of those who await these with bated breath every Sunday!
The rest of this week has been filled with reading and posting to social media. I finished One Day and that has ruined every other book ever for me. But I’ll talk more about that in a bit.
👨🏻💻 Latest on the website
This week there’s only one post on the blog and it’s a review of The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey, one of my favourite books of the year so far!
The link to read this is just below along with an update on the books I’ve been reading and some links to some book deals!
✍️ What I’ve posted this week
The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey book review
I’m always nervous about a book being overhyped when it’s recommended as much as The List of Suspicious Things was, but this book deserves the hype. If you’re looking at a tick list of what makes a great novel, this book would tick them all. You’ve got loveable characters, hateable characters; you’ve got shocking moments, you’ve got a wholesome story that also covers some serious mature topics and you’ve got an ending that so quickly breaks and mends your heart, you come out traumatised. I already know The List of Suspicious Things will feature on my “Top Books of the Year list” already and it’s only February and you should consider it a must-read for 2024!
📖 What I’ve been reading this week
One Day by David Nicholls
I’m not sure where to even start with this book. Alongside the perfectly casted, toned and acted TV Series, this has taken over my week this week. It’s both beautiful and devastating in equal parts and is a book that is the true definition of love and romance to me.
It tells the story of Dexter and Emma and their 20-year journey from young adults to older adults and their unquestionable love for each other that both are far too scared to actually explore. It’s such a wonderful story about life and love. Still not quite over it 48 hours later.
