Hello booklovers! Introducing: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Time travel romance anyone?? Then this is for you. In the near future, a disaffected civil servant is offered a lucrative job in a mysterious new government ministry. Her role is to work as a 'bridge'; living with, assisting and monitoring the expat known as '1847' - Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition to the Artic, so he's a little disoriented to find himself alive and surrounded by outlandish concepts such a 'washing machine', 'Spotify' and 'the collapse of the British Empire'. During a long, sultry summer he and his bridge move from awkwardness to genuine friendship, to something more. Can love triumph over the structures and histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy history when history is living in your house? "Slow-burning love story, clever, witty and thought-provoking." - Natalie Paper Plus Havelock North and Hastings #newbook #bookrecommendations #greatreads #greatbooks #local #nzbookshop #shoplocal #paperplusnz #bookreview #paperplushastings #paperplushavelocknorth #bestbookshopintown #welovetoread #reading #inkdrinkers #booklover #lovehavelocknorth #lovehastings #themysteryoftime #timetravel #slowburn

GREAT BOOKS EXPLAINED: THE LORD OF THE RINGS. I’m thrilled to have collaborated with James Payne ( @greatartexplained ) on a video taking a deep dive into the background and history of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Payne is the creator of two wonderful YouTube channels: first “Great Art Explained” and now “Great Books Explained”. He’s a master storyteller and videographer - I’ve learned so much from his informative and highly entertaining videos. Please check him out!

The Richest Man in Babylon. By George Samuel Clason A must read! The book is an eye opener. This book is about an ancient city called Babylon and the wealthiest man's principles. This is definitely one of the most pivotal books I've ever read. You'll definitely think differently on the way you prioritize the way you spend your money. It's written in an old English verbiage. However things haven't changed in action. Get this book! It's definitely a classic! . . . . . . #bookreview #selfhelp #therichestmaninbabylon #success #successjourney #goodreads #booksinspire #books #greatbooks #getrich #ReadingList #Bookstagram #booksofinstagram #georgesamuelclason #greatread #bookrecommendations

Happy pub day to my author pal @authornataliejenner whose captivating third novel Every Time We Say Goodbye is out today! I’ve loved all of her books, and this one won’t disappoint, especially because it’s set in Italy at midcentury. I was lucky to read an early copy and fell in love with the setting, the time period and the characters. Chosen as one of BookBub’s Best Historical Fiction novels for spring, the book has been called “fresh and intriguing” (Booklist) and “incredibly moving” by the Historical Novels Society. Don’t miss this one!! ☝️ see full synopsis below! In 1955, Vivien Lowry is facing the greatest challenge of her life. Her latest play, the only female-authored play on the London stage that season, has opened in the West End to rapturous applause from the audience. The reviewers, however, are not as impressed as the playgoers and their savage notices not only shut down the play but ruin Lowry’s last chance for a dramatic career. With her future in London not looking bright, at the suggestion of her friend, Peggy Guggenheim, Vivien takes a job in as a script doctor on a major film shooting in Rome’s Cinecitta Studios. There she finds a vibrant movie making scene filled with rising stars, acclaimed directors, and famous actors in a country that is torn between its past and its potentially bright future, between the liberation of the post-war cinema and the restrictions of the Catholic Church that permeates the very soul of Italy. As Vivien tries to forge a new future for herself, she also must face the long-buried truth of the recent World War and the mystery of what really happened to her deceased fiancé. Every Time We Say Goodbye is a brilliant exploration of trauma and tragedy, hope and renewal, filled with dazzling characters both real and imaginary, from the incomparable author who charmed the world with her novels The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls. #historicalfiction #beachread #newfiction #newbook #greatbooks #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #bookish #newrelease #bookclub

Simply a must read, Janelle is a fabulous writer. An immersive' emotive and poignant 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 gem. A definite Summer reread for me.

📖 LA MATRIARCA ✍ Pablo Rivero 📚 Salamandra @salamandraed Resumen: Un thriller entretenido y fácil de leer. 📖 A sus casi ochenta años, Felicidad es una mujer independiente y resolutiva que lleva las riendas de su familia y que gestiona los alquileres del bloque de pisos del que es propietaria. Su rutina se interrumpe cuando Candela Rodríguez, teniente de la Guardia Civil, le informa de que una de sus inquilinas, de avanzada edad, se ha precipitado al patio interior del edificio. 🌟 Una historia ágil y adictiva que es muy fácil de leer y que os recomendaría para cualquier momento de vacaciones o relax. Me ha parecido que estaba correctamente escrita y que había algunos giros de guión muy interesantes. El autor logra que tengas la sensación de querer salir de “ese” edificio/barrio, consigue que el agobio del suspense te llegue a calar durante la lectura. 🌟La trama está muy bien pensada y los escenarios se convierten en reales. En unas pocas calles de un barrio, el autor crea una tensión y una micro atmósfera que parece muy real, y que nos acerca a problemas sobre los cuidados de las personas mayores, el abandono, su vulnerabilidad frente a las redes sociales y la inmigración. Reconozco que no es un tema que me sea cómodo porque soy muy sensible a todo lo que afecta a los mayores, así que puedo no ser objetiva en mi opinión, pero la atmósfera está muy lograda. ✖️No me ha gustado cómo está enfocada la investigación policial a la que se hubiera podido sacar más jugo. Y el final no me ha convencido porque aunque es sorprendente, tiene algunos detalles que no me han convencido. Un thriller adictivo que se disfruta, y cuyo mérito para mí es transmitir un problema tan complejo en una ambientación limitada, y hacernos llegar esas reflexiones tan difíciles que deberíamos hacernos sobre los mayores. ¿Me recomendáis algún otro libro del autor? #leereslomás #lamatriarca #pablorivero #thriller #novelapoliciaca #megustaleerycomparto #megustaleer #instabook #librosrecomendados #leoyrecomiendo #leoycomparto #leoyreseño #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instagramaespaña #leeresvivir #leeresunplacer #libros #greatbooks #lasensacióndeleer

THE LEGACIES by Jessica Goodman ⭐️ rating: 8/10 read if you like: 🎩 socialites 🗽New York city society scenes 👯‍♀️ teen dramas 🔪 murder mysteries If you like the high school drama Jessica Goodman is great at….this is another great book for you. Taking place in NYC, this book follows a group of private school students as they are selected to join the Legacies, an elite society in the Manhattan social scene. The story is told by Bernie, the daughter of the chair of the group, Isobel, a budding artist with powerful parents and Tori, a scholarship student from Queens whose selection into the Legacies is a mystery to everyone. It cuts between their three perspectives and a voiceover from the crime scene the night of the Legacy Ball, leading us to ask the entire story — who is the victim, and who committed the crime? This story follows the lives of the super rich and privileged, but the mystery and suspense keep you pulled in through this quick read. If you love NYC, hot spots and the social scene, you’ll also love all the references throughout. I loved Bernie, and the honest depiction of someone who had it all together on the outside, hiding all the flaws beneath the surface. We get to know each of the students deeply, and I found myself attached to all three girls in a way I didn’t expect! The book also deals with race and LGBTQ+ topics in a way that feels accurate for the time and setting. I love the lightness of Jessica Goodman’s topics compared to the drama of their stories; and this one doesn’t disappoint.

📚 What’s This Week 📚 I’m baaacccckkk my lovely bookworms and I have missed you and all your bookish content 🥺🫶🏼! Things are slowing down for me a little bit; now, I can have a healthy balance of reading, working, and family/friends. Here’s what currently I’m up to this week: Reading 📚 - I just finished Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron, and I absolutely loved it! I’m currently wanting to read a spicy book; so, I’m choosing either between continuing The Sinners Duet or the Salacious Players Club ❤️‍🔥 Watching 📺 - Honestly, nothing really! Although, Baby Reindeer is calling my name and seems something I would enjoy. Listening 🎶 - I finally got around to starting the audiobook of “Just Haven’t Met You Yet” by Sophie Cousens. It’s fine for the most part, but I’m really not 100% feeling it 😣 Cooking/Eating 🧑‍🍳 - Turkey or Salmon burgers and Asian food are my current fixation. Not together in the same meal, of course 😅 Looking Forward To 🩵 - The family and boyfriends are celebrating my Mom’s birthday tomorrow and the weekend is pretty tame; so, lots of time for relaxation or a possible spontaneous plan ☺️ . QOTD: What’s your current read? What are some bookish updates I’ve missed in the past 2 weeks? ☺️ . . . #book #books #bookstagram #spicybookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishthoughts #currentlyreading #bookaddict #booksta #bookcollector #spicybookrecs #fictionbooks #bookcommunity #spicybook #bookflatlay #bookishphotography #mybookfeatures #readabook #booksta #bookish #bookwormlife #bookishproblems #bookphotography #bookobsessed #bookaesthetic #bookstack #bookworms #spicybookrec #greatbooks #bookalicious

In today’s post I wanted to highlight these two absolutely beautiful books by @anniegarthwaite 💘 As a HUGE historical fiction fan (particularly of this era) I adored Cecily, & know I will adore my next read too, which will be The King’s Mother 👑 Synopsis: Through blood and battle Edward has gained England’s throne – king by right and conquest – eighteen years old and unstoppable. Cecily has piloted his rise to power and stands at his shoulder now, first to claim the title King’s Mother. But to win a throne is not to keep it and war is come again. As brother betrays brother, and trusted cousins turn treacherous, other mothers rise up to fight for other sons. Cecily must focus her will to defeat every challenge. Wherever they come from. Whatever the cost. For there can be only one King, and only one King’s Mother. ✨ A huge thank you to @anniegarthwaite and @vikingbooksuk 💘 I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you all very soon! (Shamelessly using one of my crochet checkered booksleeves in this post, it just went too beautifully with the books! Hopefully I can start selling these soon 🤞🏼👀) P.s.: I think medieval women would’ve loved this song, don’t you?🤭 • • • #bookstagram #ukbookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #bookrecommendations #greatbooks #historicalfiction #bookblogger #bookinfluencer #bookfluencer #bookflatlay #bookobsessed #twofortuesday #bookaesthetic #bookish #bookishpost #historylover #waroftheroses #womeninliterature #englishqueens #womenempowerment #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer

In last night’s Catherine Project discussion about Oedipus the King, we tried to answer the question of why this play has lasted 2,500 years. I think it’s because of a deep fear we all have that as everything crumbles around us, our actions may have played a large role in the downfall. That’s terrifying and this tragedy play provides an uncomfortable distance we hope never enters our own lives. #sophocles #oedipus #oedipusrex #oedipustheking #thegreatbooks #greatbooks

Anthony Horowitz has done it again with his fifth Detective Hawthorne book in the series. I loved 'Close to Death', I read it over a weekend, and although we do find out a teeny bit more about Daniel Hawthorne, it just wasn't enough!!! So really hoping that the next book, which I reckon will be published in 2025, will give us a little more insight into this elusive and intriguing character. Gonna give it 5* because I love an author who writes for readers and drops clues along the way, so you're almost playing a game while being entertained! #anthonyhorowitz #anthonyhorowitzbooks #danielhawthorne #crimemystery #greatbooks #cozycrime

So many of our favourite authors raved about Emma Flint’s ‘Other Women’ so we simply had to read it and so glad we did! In her new novel Emma shows she is one of the best character writers out there. This is a brilliant, haunting book. So if you’re looking for something to read while soaking up the sun pop along to your local bookshop and pick this up - you won’t regret it! . . . . #emmaflint #otherwomen #crimefiction #crimefictionaddict #crimebookjunkie #crime #murdermystery #murdermystery2 #greatbooks #greatbook #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #goodreads #goodread

Dear The Husbands, I have never read a book quite like you. You were lighthearted and quirky, but deep and profound as well. I love your magical realism, and how impractical the magic attic ended up being for Lauren. I loved how flawed Lauren was and how real she was. Because you were such a different concept, I had no idea what twists and turns you were going to take, and I simply could not stop reading you!

Sve počinje idejom 💡 Dijelim s vama nekoliko misli o knjizi “Inovatori” Waltera Isaacsona. Knjiga istražuje živote genijalnih inovatora poput Stevea Jobsa, Elona Muska, Ade Lovelace i mnogih drugih koji su oblikovali naš svijet. Isaacson nas vodi kroz njihove životne priče, otkrivajući njihove greške, izazove i revolucionarne ideje. Kroz ove priče potiće nas da razmišljamo izvan okvira i slijedimo svoje strasti. Knjiga nudi dragocjene uvide u procese razmišjanja i stvaranja ovih ikoničnih pojedinaca, što može potaknuti i naš vlastiti razvoj inovativnosti. #Inovatori #Knjige #novacije #SteveJobs #AdaLovelace #Walterlsaacson #books #knjige #greatbooks #gr8books #citajknjigu #bookaholic #volimknjige

The map of Hell. A pyramid but upside down. 🙃 Books you have to read: Number 2&3, Dante’s “Inferno”. Dante’s Divine Comedy, especially the Inferno is a wonderful book for high school students to explore. Beyond the story and poetry, we can use maps to explore his journey through the Earth, Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Dante includes then modern physics and astronomy in this work. #dantesinferno #dante #greatbooks #readtogrow #ascention #sacredwisdom #truthseeker #esoteric #novels #ancientlore #oldworld #readinglist #bookclub #divinecomedy #brainfood #greatreset #sacredgeometry #wakeup

Beyond the story and poetry, we can use maps to explore his journey through the Earth, Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Dante includes then modern physics and astronomy in this work. #dantesinferno #dante #greatbooks #readtogrow #ascention #sacredwisdom #truthseeker #esoteric #novels #ancientlore #oldworld #readinglist #bookclub #divinecomedy #brainfood #greatreset #sacredgeometry #wakeup

La Novela del Verano (Beach Read) Autora: Emily Henry Género: Novela romántica ¿Somos las únicas que de vez en cuando necesitamos una novela ligera para despejar la mente? Con esa intención comenzamos a leer “La novela del verano” y, con sus buenas dosis de humor y romance nos proporcionó exactamente eso. Pero más allá de la historia romántica que disfrutamos muchísimo, conforme fuimos leyendo, nos vimos adentradas en temas más profundos, como la dificultad del duelo y las inseguridades que todos llevamos dentro. Leímos por ahí que el libro tiene finales diferentes entre la versión en inglés y la versión en español, pero no lo hemos podido comprobar… así que si ya lo leíste y lo leíste en inglés, mándanos mensaje directo para comparar finales! . . . #SistersRead #GreatBooks #Bookstagram #BookReview #BookRecs #LibrosRecomendados #LaNovelaDelVerano

Hello booklovers! Introducing: The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians by @jamespattersonbooks To be a bookseller or librarian... you have to play detective. Be a treasure hunter. A matchmaker. A brilliant listener. A person who creates a kind of magic by pulling a book from a shelf, handing it to someone and saying, 'You've got to read this. You're going to love it.' In this love letter to the heroes of literacy, James Patterson uncovers true stories from booksellers and librarians. Prepare to enter a world where you feed your curiosities, discover new voices, and find whatever you need. I can say that as I read this book, I could hear the voices of my bosses and colleagues. A beautifully written book of the true stories of the magic of reading. - Natalie Paper Plus Havelock North and Hastings #newbook #bookrecommendations #greatreads #greatbooks #local #nzbookshop #shoplocal #paperplusnz #bookreview #paperplushastings #paperplushavelocknorth #bestbookshopintown #welovetoread #reading #inkdrinkers #booklover #lovehavelocknorth #lovehastings #thesecretlivesofbooksellersandlibrarians #jamespatterson

Tangled In Lies by @jasminmiller ✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨ Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Let me tell you about my first dive into Jasmin Miller’s world – it was like stepping into a whirlwind of emotions! From the get-go, I was hooked. The sparks flying between Evangeline and Phoenix? Pure magic. Now, I’m a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers trope, so I was hoping for a bit more of that juicy history between them to really amp up the tension. But hey, the banter alone was worth it! And can we talk about the crazy stalker subplot? Talk about adding some serious spice to the mix! And those plot twists? Whew, they hit me like a ton of bricks! Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Miller threw me for a loop. And don’t even get me started on the chemistry between Phoenix and Evangeline – it was off the charts! The tension practically crackled off the pages. But you know what really got me excited? Holden. That guy definitely deserves his own story. I mean, if his story is anything like Evangeline and Phoenix’s, count me in! TROPES: Revenge Romance / Arranged Marriage / Forbidden Romance / Enemies to Lovers / No Third-Act Breakup / Obsessed MMC
