A pocket of my life

  Book number 9 complete! The closesst thing to flying is based for a younger audience but I had been recomended it a few times at work so thought that I would give it a go and wow! It is such a beautiful story. The story starts with a girl names Semira, she lives with her Mum, who can't speak English and a man named Robel who is controlling and not nice. She develops an unusual freidnship which makes her strong and helps her become brave. The story also brings about how the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) came about and slightly introduces the idea of the suffragettes. The feelings that this book made me feel when reading were all over the place, I felt the happiness and the sadness of the story, it is beautifully written and I am intrigued what others book Gill Lewis has written, For a quick filler book or for something a little different I would recommend this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Victoria x

Book 5 of 2026 is well under way! I really have got into my grove. Baby be mine is a sequel to Johnny be good written by Paige Toon. It is set a year after there last story and starts off with a very **** question, 'He's not kine, is he?'. This set the story off with wonder and questioning what is going to happen which really draws you in. Meg Stiles was one a PA to one of the most famous rock stars going, Johnny Jefferson when she fell for his bad boy charm, times changed and she left the job, and Johnny due to his lack of respect. She later moves in with his friend, Christian, and life seems brighter until a silly mistakes causes a whole lot of turmoil for her and many around her. I am half way through the story already and I honestly find it hard to put down, I want to know more at the end of each chapter. The one thing that I am not liking quite so much is that there is a bit of repetition of the turmoil through the book, being the reader we already know th...

I am on a mission in 2025 to read more, I absolutely love reading but go through spurts of it then stopping. I love falling into a story and feeling like I am in the scene, one that really grips you. My first book of the year is   The Magpie Society  written by Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch. I am around half way through (which is good for me) and so fas I a hooked, I just want to know what happens next and often find myself struggling to put the book down.  The story is set in a boarding school in the south of the UK and starts the term after tragedy has struck when a student, Lola, was found dead. Following the stories of two students, Ivy, a prefect who wants to know what happened to her friend and Audrey, a new student from America who needs to find her way in this new school. The school is rattled when a podcast comes on stating that Lola was murdered! I am really intrigued on how this story will continue and whether the truth about how Lola died will co...

Booked number 2 of 2024! I am a terribly slow reader but do love a good book to emerse myself with and this one is definitely one that I am enjoying. Promise me by Jill Mansell has had me hooked from page 1, it's a story of romance, loss and a cantankerous old man who you can't help but have a soft spot for. Lou is trying to cope with the loss of her husband and job finds a fresh start in the Cotswolds. Jill Mansell manages to captivate me with every book that I have read of her and I am intrigued to see how this story falls together. I love the fact that 'Promise me' is unpredictable and I have no real insight on how this story is going to end.  If you like a good romance that holds the heart then I would certainly check out anything by Jill Mansell.
