✨The Familar✨ SYNOPSIS: When her scheming mistress discovers her talent for miracles, Luzia Cotado is plunged into the perilous world of holy men & fraudsters. As her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will be uncovered by the Inquisition. To survive, Luzia enlists the help of the embittered familiar, Guillén Santangel. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ VERDICT: The author spun an evocative tale of determination in the face of danger. The exquisite writing immersed me into the story & the dynamics between the characters kept me hooked. WOULD I RECOMMEND?… Yes, if you love atmospheric novels that also manage to be part political thriller, part supernatural mystery & part fated romance. Thank you to @vikingbooksuk for kindly sending me the ARC. #wishfulreader #thefamiliar #leighbardugo #historicalfiction #historicalfantasy #spanishgoldenage #newreleases #penguinbooks #gothicliterature #bookreview #supernaturalmystery #politicalthriller #historicalromance #penguinviking

Just when inequality is being debated in India, this book has landed. Bela Bhatia knows what she is talking about, having worked among the poor and marginalised, in Gujarat, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Nagaland and Kashmir. "All of us know, of course, that many people in India don't have much money. Still, it is easy to forget that so many people live on so little -- the simplest food, tattered clothes, a bare house and very little to spare for children's education or healthcare. Further, lack of money is only one aspect of their pervasive hardships and restricted freedoms -- daily worries diverse insecurities, indebtedness, illness, powerlessness, humiliation and violence also follow them around like shadows." A must read. #belabhatia #indiasforgottencountry #penguinviking

Through "Night of the Restless Spirits," a moving anthology of stories that pierces through time to reveal the human spirit amid catastrophe, you may enter the turbulent environment of 1984 India. These tales provide a mosaic of everyday lives entwined in historical turmoil, from a young Indian immigrant in the United States who is motivated by a cause he finds difficult to understand to a student who is struggling with the effects of violence on his friend's family. 🌾🌾 Exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience, the collection goes beyond the personal to tackle the political against the background of a burning train and the eerie tale of a lone Sikh survivor. Sarbpreet Singh's work transports you to those tumultuous times with its exquisite simplicity. Because we hear from both inside and outside the community, the accounts provide a complete picture of the happenings. 🌾🌾 These stories affirm that optimism persists even in the most dire circumstances, even in the face of despair. By revealing the depths to which politics and people may sink, arbpreet's work serves mankind. In any case, an excellent book that is a must-read to learn about the history of contemporary India! We are grateful to Sarbpreet Singh Sir for composing this piece and presenting the unvarnished facts of 1984. 🌾🌾 Rating of the book- 4.5⭐/5⭐ 🌾🌾 For the full review, click the link in the bio! 🌾🌾 #qotd🌸 - Have you ever read a book that you felt was ahead of its time? #anthology  #contemporaryfiction  #contemporaryindia  #historical  #historicalbook  #historicalfiction  #nightoftherestlessspirits  #penguinindia  #penguinviking  #sarbpreetsingh  #short  #shortstories  #storiesfrom1984

🇮🇹A Madrid, Luzia Cotado usa frammenti di magia per affrontare le sue giornate da sguattera. Ma quando la sua padrona scopre che in realtà nasconde un talento per piccoli miracoli, chiede a Luzia di usare questo dono per migliorare la posizione sociale della famiglia. Man mano che la sua notorietà cresce, Luzia dovrà usare tutto il suo ingegno e la sua volontà per sopravvivere, anche se ciò significa arruolare l'aiuto di Guillén Santangel, un famiglio immortale i cui segreti potrebbero rivelarsi mortali per entrambi. ✒️Come al solito, la capacità di Leigh Bardugo di ritrarre i suoi personaggi è sorprendente. Luzia lotta per prosperare e fa tutto ciò che è in suo potere per ottenere ciò che desidera. Ma è interessante quanto sia sottile il confine tra miracolo ed eresia. È costantemente consapevole e attenta a ciò che può essere considerato sacro e demoniaco. ✨️Il rapporto tra Luzia e Santángel è semplicemente stupendo. Iniziano come insegnante e allieva e il modo in cui si sviluppa il loro amore è bellissimo. 📖È stato così interessante leggere come Luzia crei la magia attraverso i ritornelli. Queste parole hanno un potere nel loro significato, e mi è piaciuto il modo in cui queste frasi siano un miscuglio di lingue diverse, ognuna con la sua importanza, non limitate a una sola. 📚Consiglio vivamente questo libro, soprattutto se amate la magia, gli schemi e le trame nella Spagna del XVII secolo! 🧣ophélie [🇬🇧 IN THE COMMENTS] 🏷 #thefamiliar #leighbardugo #penguinviking #historicalfiction #historicalfictionbooks #historicalfantasy #fantasy #fantasybooks #teabooksisters #spanishgoldenage #bookrecs #bookreview #librifantasy #libristorici #libriconsigliati #recensionelibri #libridaleggere #bookrecommendations

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Friends by Hisham Matar (Swipe for the blurb 📚) ⭐️My Review⭐️ My Friends is a beautifully slow, reflective, and immersive work of historical fiction that will capture your heart and mind. I knew very little about Libya before reading My Friends, but from the very first day of our buddy read, I was itching to google and research the history of this country. The author did a wonderful job in crafting the narrative of this story around the various political and historical events that took place. The descriptive passages are so immersive, and the flashbacks and forwards really help flesh out the story. I will say that I started this story on audiobook, and I found my mind wandering during some of the longer streams of consciousness. I switched to a physical copy of the book, and it suited me far better. I know others in the buddy group enjoyed the book on audio, so don't right it off without trying it, but my concentration levels just weren't strong enough during that particular week. The overarching feeling I felt throughout this book was one of loneliness, and my heart felt heavy when I finally closed the book on the last page. With that being said, I can still say that I enjoyed reading it. It opened my eyes to a time in history that I was not very familiar with, and there were some of the most beautiful friendships and relationships developed throughout the book. The writing is brilliant and envelops you in the world of Khaled, Mustafa, and Hosam. I was so immersed in the story that I found myself reading on almost every day of the buddy read without even noticing. It's a really great read, and even if historical fiction is normally not your thing, I think you would still enjoy this. With huge thanks to @latenightliteraryclub for inviting me to cohost this buddy read and to the wonderful group who joined us for the chats! I think I may have struggled with the feeling of loneliness in this book had it not been for ye <3 ⁉️ Have you ever read a book that just didn't work as an audiobook? Or have you read a book that you enjoyed much more on audio? ⁉️

I have read dozens of escapist rom books in the nearly two years since Dad died, and I have particularly enjoyed those by @emilyhenrywrites and @alihazelwood. So it was too much of a temptation to resist Emily’s new book, which was released today. Hoping it’ll be another equally enjoyable bit of book salve for when I can’t stop my mind gnawing at itself ✌🏻 And Ali has a new book coming out soon too 🙌🏻 . . . . . . . . #newbookstagram #emilyhenry #publicationday #funnystory #funnystoryemilyhenry #penguinviking @vikingbooksuk #alihazelwood

Richard Flanagan and I are going to be talking with brilliant historian @clarewrighthistorian about so many things. . . writing in the margins between fiction and non-fiction, history and memoir, and the parts of ourselves left excavated on the page. Delighted to hear that Peter Carey thinks Question 7 ‘may just be the most significant work of Australian art in the last hundred years.’ Possibly even more delighted to learn that Richard now has a rapid on the Franklin River named after him. #sydneywritersfestival #penguinbooksaus #penguinviking #mrsorwellsinvisiblelife #knopfbooks #wifedom

I was very lucky to receive an advanced copy of Emily Henry’s upcoming release “Funny Story” 🥹🫶 There’s not a ton I can say without spoiling the plot, but I’ll say this: Emily Henry’s writing is actually jaw-dropping. I was scared to dip into her works because of the tears I’ve seen dripping down so many reviewers’ faces as they read or finished reading one of her books, but after this... oh my god, I -GET- it. Emily Henry has this knack for ripping open someone’s chest and looking at its inner workings, all while weaving real, beating emotion into her books. We got to watch two characters grow together through heartbreak, not just in getting over their exes but also working together through family (mommy and daddy) issues. We got to watch Daphne find herself outside of a “we,” and it was so refreshing (especially as someone who is guilty of finding post coupledom characters so boring) to see her new friends check her on lapsing on it. If you like fake dating - to friends - to best friends - to lovers, this book needs a spot on your immediate tbr. Thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review.! • • • • • #emilyhenry #emilyhenrybooks #bookstagram #penguinviking #penguinbooks #booksta #bookish #bookishmemes #bookmemes #booktropes #bookstagrammer #bookishhumor #bookishthings #bookishthoughts #bookreviews

What upcoming releases are you excited for? ❤️ I was very lucky to receive an advanced copy of Leigh Bardugo’s book ‘The Familiar’. This is a historical fantasy set in Spain at the time of the inquisition. I will be completely honest that this book wasn’t really for me. I absolutely loved the premise but I just wanted more out of it. There were elements I really enjoyed and think Bardugo fans will absolutely love it! I think for anyone looking to get into fantasy or historical romance for the first time then it would be perfect.

The rediscovered novel from Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a stunning piece of work.

“ Only when she put her ring and watch back on did she notice how late she was: it was six minutes to four, but she allowed herself a moment of nostalgia to contemplate the herons that glided in stillness over the steamy torpor of the lagoon.” Re-experiencing Marquez’s magic style in story-telling. #gabrielgarciamarquez #untilaugust #penguinbooks #penguinviking #reading #read #books #book #bookclub #bookstagram #booklover #novel #novels #novella #award #readingtime #readingcommunity #booksbrat @books.and.needles #lesfugitives #bookerprize @curlcoffee #bookreviewer #bookreview @kingauthor.lb @bookoholics.bookclub #translatedfiction #translatedliterature

Das war einfach wirklich schön zu lesen; auf eine sehr amerikanische Art sehr perfekt konstruiert, aber ich fand die Handlung und die Figuren psychologisch trotzdem glaubwürdig - und die vier Schwestern, aber auch viele andere Charaktere, habe ich sofort ins Herz geschlossen. Eine dramatische Liebesgeschichte und ein warmherziges Buch über Familie, Schicksalsschläge und unterschiedliche Lebensentwürfe. Ein super Schmöker für ein langes Wochenende! #hellobeautiful #annnapolitano #vierschwestern #littlewomen #familienroman #leben #sterben #lieben #penguinviking #einbuchfürsherz

📖 Title: In memoriam ✍🏼 Author: Alice Winn #️⃣ Pages: 379 🌟 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Synopsis; In 1914, war feels far away to Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood. They’re too young to enlist, and anyway, Gaunt is fighting his own private battle - an all-consuming infatuation with the dreamy, poetic Ellwood - not having a clue that his best friend is in love with him, always has been.

When Gaunt’s mother asks him to enlist in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks, he signs up immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings. But Ellwood and their classmates soon follow him into the horrors of trenches. Though Ellwood and Gaunt find fleeting moments of solace in one another, their friends are dying in front of them, and at any moment they could be next.
 💭 Thoughts; I don’t know how to give this book the review it deserves, simply put if you enjoy reading historical fiction, specifically based on wars, then this book is an absolute must!! A breathtaking, heart wrenching but beautiful read. As always when reading about times of war, it is beyond comprehension of what people endured. This is the story of love in a time when it was forbidden. This story also touches on themes of class and how this affects placement within war. Utterly compelling, my favourite book of the year so far, highly recommend to any historical fiction lover! #bookstagram #ukbooklover #ukbookstagrammer #ukbookreviewer #alicewinn #inmemoriam #penguinviking #penguinrandomhouse #waterstonesdebutfictionprize #historicalfiction #5starread #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer

In the annals of history, Asoca, or Ashoka the Great, stands as an indelible figure—a ruler whose influence spanned the vast expanse of the Indian Subcontinent and whose transformative journey mirrored the tumultuous currents of the third century BC. Though hailed for spreading Buddhism and championing non-violence, Asoca’s imperial reign bore witness to the orchestration of one of history’s greatest and deadliest wars. This enigmatic emperor, draped in the complex tapestry of ambition and remorse, comes to life in a historical novel that delves beyond the pages of textbooks. 🌳🌳 This book unfolds as an epic journey through time, offering readers an immersive experience into the atmosphere of a bygone era and the enigmatic brilliance of Asoca, the ruler who left an indelible mark on the Indians. The biggest factor that turns this book into an extraordinary one is the language. I felt like I was looking at a fine piece of jewelry, where all the jewels of language fit the sentences beautifully, making the piece a masterpiece. 🌳🌳 However, the portrayal of Ashoka was amazing, the other characters who play an important role in his life are explained beautifully too. This shows how much research the author went through to connect all of these mesmerizing characters to the readers. I will look into the other works by the author, as I am highly impressed by his work. Go for this book if you love history and want to learn more about Ashoka the Great! 🌳🌳 Rating of the book- 3.5⭐/5⭐ 🌳🌳 For the full review, click the link in the bio! 🌳🌳 #qotd🌸 - How do you balance work and personal life? #ashokathegreat #asoca #asutra #historical #historicalbook #historicalfiction #irwinallansealy #penguinindia #penguinviking #reviewcollaboration #reviewcopy

#currentlyreading Love in the Time of Cholera and getting excited for the release of Gabriel García Márquez’s lost novel Until August, which is due for release next month! I loved One Hundred Years of Solitude, which I read during lockdown, and as I was on my own I definitely resonated with the theme of solitude! It’s such a gorgeous special book and I definitely recommend it. 📚 What are you reading this weekend? Are you a Gabriel García Márquez fan?

The bi-monthly bookclub is back ! Join us to read Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson (@caleb_anelson) with us and our guest host @ebonykenae in February & March. We cannot wait to read and discuss the book with you. Here’s the BOTM description : “Set over the course of three summers, Small Worlds follows Stephen, a first-generation Londoner born to Ghanian immigrant parents, brother to Ray, and best friend to Adeline. On the cusp of big life changes, Stephen feels pressured to follow a certain path—a university degree, a move out of home—but when he decides instead to follow his first love, music, his world and family fractures in ways he didn’t foresee. Now Stephen must find a path and peace for himself: a space he can feel beautiful, a space he can feel free. Moving from London, England to Accra, Ghana and back again, Small Worlds is an exquisite and intimate new novel about the people and places we hold close, from one of the most “elegant, poetic” (CNN) and important voices of a generation” — #smallworlds #calebazumahnelson #openwater #bookclub #bookclubofinstagram #bookclubsofinstagram #wellreadsociety #thewellreadsociety @penguinbooks @vikingbooksuk #penguinviking #bhm #blackhistorymonth #blackauthors #blackwriters #diversifybookstagram #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #womenwhoread #coolgirlsreadingbooks #blackwomenread

AD PR PRODUCT . “This, I now know, is what is meant by grief, a word that sounds like something stolen, picked out of your pocket when you least expect it.” . I was very kindly sent a proof of this book by @vikingbooksuk last year. I haven’t read anything by Hisham Matar before, but was intrigued by the premise. . Khaled is from Benghazi, living under the Qaddafi regime. He goes to university in Edinburgh and meets Mustafa, another Libyan boy. Their friendship is formed and hardened on a reckless visit to London, where they protest outside the Libyan embassy. This act will change their lives forever. . This is a beautiful book, told through memories taken on one walk from King’s Cross to Shepherds Bush. Khaled reflects on his life, his friends, the choices made and not made, the choices taken from him. Alongside Mustafa and another Libyan friend, Hosam, the reader gets an insight into the experiences of those exiled from their own country. . A ponderous, sometimes heartbreaking read. Matar forces you to slow down alongside Khaled, to feel his indecision about whether to return to Libya, to really understand the isolation of making a home but never truly feeling you belong there. It is a gorgeous, slow unravelling of a book and it taught me so much about Libyan politics and history, and how interlinked the UK was. . My Friends is published today, and I am going to make my first @thebookerprizes prediction of the year. This is only my second read of 2024, but it will definitely stay in my mind for a long time. . . . . . . . . . . . . #books #reading #igbooks #igreader #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #booksofinstagram #instabook #instaread #bookworm #bookish #bookreview #bookreviewersofinstagram #bookrecommendation #MyFriends #HishamMatar #fiction #vikingbooks #penguinviking #adprproduct #proof

Is this the best installment of The Thursday Murder Club series? • Possibly yes, Richard Osman has done it again. The gang are back with all of their associates ready to solve another murder. Yet again they're up to their necks in criminals and this time everyone wants to find the missing heroin. And what better way to enjoy it that while having your tired legs squeezed into submission. Regular sessions at the @doncasterosteo #RecoveryLounge (including a good book) is part of my 2024 plan that I'm getting a head start with over the Christmas break. The Last Devil to Die is written with humour and heart. The storyline is an engaging page turner without trying to be too clever clogs. Now that I am used to the writing style I thoroughly enjoy the different perspectives the reader gets from the point of view of different narrators. I remember struggling with the first instalment but now the gang are like old friends. If you haven't already started this series you're really missing out but you've got time to catch up. Although this isn't the last in the series it is the 'last for a while' but I know I'll be very excited for the next one whenever that might be. • • • • • #thelastdeviltodie #thethursdaymurderclub #richardosman #penguinviking #vikingbooks #crimefiction #cosycrime #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookcover #relaxbyreading #ameliareads #readmorebooks #bookrecommendations

La primera adaptación gráfica este gran clásico. En el verano de 1942, huyendo de los horrores de la ocupación nazi, Ana Frank y su familia se vieron obligados a esconderse en la parte trasera de un almacén de Ámsterdam. Cuando Ana Frank tenía trece años entró en la casa de atrás, llevaba un diario en el que confiaba sus pensamientos y sentimientos más íntimos, revelando conmovedoramente cómo las ocho personas que vivían en estas extraordinarias condiciones se enfrentaban a la amenaza diaria de ser descubiertas y muertas. Adaptada por Ari Folman, ilustrada por David Polonsky y autorizada por la Fundación Ana Frank en Basilea, esta es la primera edición gráfica del querido diario de Ana Frank. #librosquemuerdenydejanmarca #annefranksdiarythegraphicadaptation #arifolman #davidpolonsky #penguinviking

The Padavano Sisters are bound together by love, the unbridled bond of sisters who are so intertwined they are four versions of one. Growing up together with a strict mother and a kind doting father, the girls grow up to be brave. Brave towards life, towards the choices in life that distinguish your path from merely existing to thriving. They choose love and each other at every instance and even when the branches of their trees break and die and are replanted else where through the tumultuous turns of life, they choose to pull each other together in, and just like that they are whole again. @annnapolitano brings forth a moving and unforgettable novel, with a pace that merges parallel timelines with such lyrical prose, and strong character development that makes you feel you are witnessing the scenes, feeling with the people as you move. Julia, Sylvie, Cecelia and Emeline will live in me for sometime to come. To end with, the reference of the title Hello Beautiful and what it means in the book evoked emotions in me I refuse to let go of. #hellobeautiful #annnapolitano #penguinviking #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #book #2023reads

🏡🅷🅰🅿🅿🆈 🅿🅻🅰🅲🅴 ✍🏼 @emilyhenrywrites ⭐️ 4,5/5 THIIIIS was my most anticipated read of the year 🤩. I love Emily Henry with all my heart and I missed her writing so much. The moment I started this book, it felt like happiness and relief 🥹, like hugging an old friend you haven’t seen for so long. And I told myself : Emily Henry books are one of my Happy Places 💘. I don’t have any negative criticism ✅. I can’t exactly tell why the book was good but not very very good lmao. It just didn’t feel like a 5⭐️ read 🤷🏻‍♀️. The ending didn’t make me as emotional as her other books. I won’t talk about the romance because it’s far more than just a romance book. It’s more about : 📌 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 Found family trope did well 🫂. You get to know every person in their friend group. You can feel how much they love each other and want nothing but the best for each other. I will always be amazed of the way Emily Henry’s characters feel so real 😭. Character development is really her thing 💘. It makes complete sense that this book is categorized into "ADULT" romance because it takes an adult’s way of view to understand the characters 🤔. Like it depends on your own friendship experience… For me, it made me remember and reconsider all the friendships I’ve had in my entire life 🤣. 📌 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 It shows the impact of your family dynamic in your future self : your professional orientation 👩🏻‍💻, the way you act in a relationship 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻, how you value yourself 💎. It’s all subjective though 😅. I liked the book because I had empathy for the characters. I can’t guarantee you’ll have too🤣. Everything depends on how you interpret the events. The quotes 😍 >>> all beautiful and/or relatable. It was hard to choose which ones to include in the slides.

The Sea Elephants is the story of Shagun. Shagun is a queer man trying to navigate life in 1900s India. It starts with the death of his twin sisters, Mud and Milk; deaths which he thought were his fault. The image of their panic-stricken faces as their little dinghy is swept in the current makes a permanent impression in his mind. His father comes home six months later. Shagun hates him from the very start. He knows he will never be the man his father wants him to be. So he flees: first to a boarding school, then to a street theatre group. The Sea Elephant myths come to life. An actor dies, a character is born. He meets Marc and secretly nurtures the dream of a future with him. He temporarily forgets the deeper pain he is running away from. But happiness eludes him. How can he bask in physical love, he asks himself, when he couldn't save his sisters? He keeps clippings of the Hanuman Male Fixing Centre in his cupboard, to remember what he is running away from. I read somewhere that if you take away the nostalgia, the 90s were a terrible time, especially if you were queer. The author doesn't shy away from graphic descriptions of brutality, homophobia and abuse. It makes you uncomfortable, but it doesn't make it untrue. It also showed how commonplace abuse is, and how easily people hush it up. Often it's someone you know. But hush, you must not let anyone know what happened. You mustn't let anyone know you are suffering. And how do you carry that suffering with you every day, when the burden keeps getting heavier? You must open your heart to the people you love, and you must be brave. Only then do you truly become Shagun, the harbinger of peace and happiness. . #theseaelephants #shastriakella #goodreads #books #bookstagram #queerbooks #penguinviking #readingchallenge #literature

Happy publication day (and on a Thursday!) to the one and only @misterosman 🦊 I may have been 3 years late to the party (I only read the first book in March) but I caught up pretty quickly and have been waiting for a while for the fourth addition to what might be one of my favourite series.

Shocking news reaches the Thursday Murder Club. 🦊 An old friend in the antiques business has been killed and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing. 🦊 As the gang springs into action they encounter art forgers, online fraudsters and drug dealers, as well as heartache close to home. 🦊 With the body count rising, the package still missing and trouble firmly on their tail, has the gang’s luck finally run out? And who will be the last devil to die?

The Last Devil to Die (Richard Osman) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pardon, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Cozy-Crime-Saviour, Richard Osman? The official publication date of The Last Devil to Die is 14/09, but I bought it last week and burned right through it. Luckily, I had been misinformed and this is not the last-ever Thursday-Murder-Club novel. Osman is just taking a small break from the series to work on a new detective novel. (tremendous relief from my side) If you are already familiar with the Coopers-Chase gang of crime-solving pensioners, you will likely have an excellent time joining Joyce, Elizabeth, Ibrahim and Ron on their hunt for heroin dealers and the murderer of one of their friends. Expect 417 pages of guessing, laughing and ugly-crying. If you haven't read any of Osman's books yet, I command you to visit a bookshop/library/your preferred e-book store right now! Love, loss, dementia, shady antiques sellers, the meaning of human life on earth, Snowy, the fox; there is something for everyone 🦊 For now, please excuse me while I look up a recipe for Battenberg and struggle with the fact that we will have to wait at least a year for Richard Osman's next novel... . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #igreads #bookreview #instaread #whatimreading #bookreviewer #bookpost #justread #bookishphotography #whattoreadnext #bookpic #newreads #newrelease #richardosman #thethursdaymurderclub #cozycrime #crime #penguinbooks #penguinviking #thelastdeviltodie

261.  Booker Prize shortlist 2013.  Colm Toibin, The Testament of Mary, Viking, London.    Toibin has written a lot about mothers, with mother-son relationships a recurring focus in his fiction.  This short novel, told from the perspective of Mary, deals with the ultimate mother-son relationship.  This Mary is not the Mary of the bible or the Catholic Church, but a Mary more doubtful, bitter and uncertain as she gives her take on a number of the significant events in the life of Jesus.  Signed by the author with a typical neat signature.  #bookerprize #colmtoibin #thetestamentofmary #penguinviking #firstedition #bookcollector #bibliophile #bookstofurnisharoom #bookstasgram #thebookerprizes #signed #irishfiction #literaryfiction

Winner of the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize, Alice Winn’s In Memoriam is a beautiful and heart-shattering meditation on the tragedies of war and the precious sanctuary that can be found in deep human connection. Beginning in an idyllic countryside boarding school in 1914, In Memoriam traces the lives of two young men as they enlist in the British army and leave the safety of home and childhood for the horrors of the trenches. With comparisons to Sebastian Faulks’ Birdsong, Pat Barker, Michael Morpurgo, and Madeline Miller’s Song of Achilles, In Memoriam is a breathtakingly epic story of forbidden love, and of hope in the darkest of times. #InMemoriam #AliceWinn #Waterstones #waterstonesdebutfictionprize #HistoricalFiction #WW1Fiction #BeautifulBooks #2023Books #PenguinBooks #PenguinViking #LGBTbooks #LGBTQIABooks #ReadWithPride #BooksellerFavourite

READ 25 / 2023 . Small Worlds - Caleb Azumah Nelson . Not that I had any doubt about it, but man has done it again, producing such a gorgeous piece of literature that I cried multiple times. The way Azumah Nelson captures the pain of love and grief and loneliness and questioning is so visceral, his storytelling so intimate yet explorative, seamlessly blending the worlds we know and can understand to such private thought. Every single bit of praise is so well deserved and I cannot wait for more. . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . #smallworlds #calebazumahnelson #penguinviking #penguinvikingbooks #vikingbooks

In between snoozing, catching up on And Just Like That, and eating M&S Gigantic Buttons (they are AMAZING), I have found the time to read a few more pages of Hello Beautiful on my train journey.
