My very first Sanderson and I loved it!!!! Gotta hand it to @welcometomynirvana, she really knows the right type of books to rec to me. This is SciFi at its most fun and adventurous. Typically my fav SciFi novels are speculative but this one really appealed to my inner kid that was reared on a heavy diet of Star Trek. (TNG being my fav Star Trek series because hello Picard, Data, Worf...) but yes. Skyward. Awesome read. Rec it to anyone in the mood for a fun SciFi. As ever there's a full review up on my blog. #bookstagram #brandonsanderson #skyward #reading #igbooks #bookish #bookishlovegroup

I absolutely worship at the altar that is Jessie Burton!!! Earlier this year I was lucky enough to read an eCopy of her latest novel The Confession from NetGalley and Picador / Pan MacMillan but as you can see from this pic I had to get a hardback copy for my bookcase once the book was released. The Confession is brilliant. It's in my list of top 3 reads this year (along with Please Read This Leaflet Carefully and my eARC of My Dark Vanessa) The Confession is such a powerful novel. Not only does it have an incredible plot and interesting story... But the women. Wow! These three main characters of Elise, Connie and Rose... These women are so incredibly authentic. They are each so unique and so vital. Their stories are incredibly relatable to any reader. They speak to the spiritual autonomy of women. These women each in their own ways are on the same path, that of learning to trust yourself first and foremost. Learning to not deny yourself the agency over your own life's path. The prose and pacing are simply perfection. But above all else, the reason I love this book is its honesty to women. And the message that women's voices and women's lives belong to no one other than to each woman herself. Highly recommended. (There's a full review available on my blog if anyone is interested) #bookstagram #jessieburton #theconfession #readersofinstagram #bookaholic #bookishlovegroup

First love is always such a pivotal moment in anyone's life. It bewitches you. It nourishes you. It transforms you in such a way that you can never be what you were before. It's the loss of innocence but the gaining of so much more... It is the most timeless of love stories and this book perfectly encapsulates all the emotions that a young lover experiences. When the adult Philippe sees a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love we are transported back to 1984 and the relationship that defined his life. This short book is searingly beautiful. It's filled with the most beautifully lyrical prose that just reaches into your soul and holds you tightly in its grasp... The story explores issues of homophobia, social class divide, shame and the crippling fear that someone can live with when they are innocent victims of such. The pain that emanates from this book is almost exquisite in how I keenly felt it as a reader. A powerfully intense literary novel that demands to be felt in your soul's core and one that I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *An e-copy of this book was kindly provided to me by the publisher, Penguin UK, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My physical copy was subsequently #gifted by Penguin UK* #penguinrandomhouseuk #penguininstagram #bookstagram #bookaholic #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #igbooks #bookishlovegroup #bookreview #liewithme

'Rewrite the Stars' is a beautifully touching and sometimes quite thought provoking story about an Irish woman named Charlie who dares to ask if the choices she's made in life have truly led her to the right path. I really do enjoy a cosy romantic read every now and then and this one really ticked all the boxes. I will have a full review of this up on my blog next week but just to say that I recommend this to people who want to snuggle up with a mug of hot chocolate and a really easygoing romantic read. It's absolutely perfect to read in the run up to Christmas as many of the major events of the plot occur around that time of year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *A physical copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Ciara and the team at Harper Collins Ireland in exchange for an honest review* #bookstagram #harpercollins #bookishlovegroup #rewritethestars #emmaheatherington #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #booksandflowers

Reading an ARC right now and the temptation to just ditch it and read this is strong!!! I don't DNF ARCs though... I sometimes wish I did but I like to make myself read the whole book so that I can give as complete a review of it as I can... I don't think it's necessarily the smartest thing I do but it is what it is. I'm just not that big of a DNF type person really. #bookstagram #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookishlovegroup

It's pouring with rain here but I'm nice and cosy inside and am just settling down to start this month's ABN readalong. Have heard good things about Sadie so I'm optimistic about enjoying it. Happy Sunday everyone :))) #bookishlovegroup #bookstagram #sadie #booksbooksbooks #yabookstagram
