A pocket of my life

My third book of 2026 has got me hooked, theatre and ghosts all in one story. As you know I am a huge theatre fan so this one really sits well with me. The book in question is ' When the curtain falls ' by Carrie Hope Fletcher, this is a story which tells two tales in one that intertwine. The first is of a stage hand, Walter, and an actress, Fawn, who fall in love but must not show it, their story ends in heartache and sorrow, the second is off two actors 70 years later falling in love whilst performing the same show as Fawn, the first time it has been shown since she played the part. Oscar and Olive grow close whilst performing but strange things start to happen around them. The book pulls you in, makes you feel there emotions and the atmosphere of the setting and makes you want to know more and feel so intwined in the story. This really has had me hooked from chapter one and I have been loving the build up to it all. The chapters will bounce from present day to 19...

Reading more in 2025 has not happened as much as I had hoped but I am loving this book so far. The magpie society two for joy is the second book of a two part story and I have flown through this one! The story is based in a boarding school on the south East coast of the UK where things aren't fully what they seem, Ivy and Audrey (room mates) are trying to find out how a friend had died, what the magpie society are and what is happening to the school behind the scenes.The chapters are written in the perspective of the two main characters, meaning you get two sides of the story from each friends thoughts and feelings. There are so many twists and turns which I have not seen coming and that have had me hooked from page one. I can honestly say that I am enjoying this story more than I did the first one, I feel more involved with the characters knowing there story.  with only 100 pages to go I can't wait to see where this story goes and ends too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ Victoria

Book 3 of 2024 |  Wilde like me  by Louise Pentland Now I have read this before but I now have the sequel which means that I need to refresh my memory of what happens. This is a beautiful story which starts with a Mum, Robin and her daughter, Lyla and how single parenting life isn't always easy but she makes it work whilst being an aspiring make up artist. The book is written in a diary style staring from January to December and follows her through a year of her life. The story is so well written with you being able to feel the emotions of the characters and always wanting to know more. With it being diary style it feels a little like you are part of the story and is so relatable to every day life. Wilde like me really is a great pick up story and is an easy light hearted read with a few heart string moments, it one that you find hard to stop reading. I am excited to finish this one and get on to the next story. Victoria x Book 1 of 2024 Book 2 of 2024
