I Am Thunder by Mohammad Khan 

Reading This Week

Hi guys! Hope you are having a lovely Monday . I was at the library last week where I picked up some more awesome cookery books and a few other bits and bobs . I tell you , there is nothing like autumn weather for making you want to pull out the cookery books  and make something hot and nourishing . I am still working my way through the cookery books from my blog post of last week and I can truly say I found more then just  a few gems to cook in those books. Ahhhh books and good food , the perfect  pair for the cold months . 

Also , in other news  have you seen "A Quiet Passion "  ,featuring Cynthia Nixon where she plays the poet Emily Dickinson ?  I am hoping to watch it this weekend and I can't wait! I love books about authors/ poets  and books or bookshops ..... sigh .... I only wish there was more of them. I might post a review on here when I finish it . 

Anyway my lovelies have a great day.  

Competition Goodies

Hello lovelies ! I recently entered a competition on Instagram that MissBohemia and Littlebookwormig were running . I was the very lucky winner and here are the gorgeous bookish goodies I picked as my prize . 

If you enjoy bookish goodies or like to buy them as gifts for your book loving friends MissBohemia has an Etsy shop where there is oodles of loveliness ! 

Reading This Weekend

When I looked out my window this morning and it's truly grim , it looks like any minute now there should be a Demogorgon or two lurking around or at the very least a few Dementors flying  , it's all misty and grey and has all the ingredients for a truly great Stephen King book. 

That being said , when it is a bit yack outside it's time to cosy up inside and catch up on some reading and watching some awesome tv in the form of the "Stranger Things" . Are you guys watching this show ? It's truly wonderful ! Set in the 80's with a knock out plot and bloody brilliant cast . It's everything you could want from a show ! The first season was incredible and season two is just as great . If you have not already , check it out! 

So , back to book business ;0) here is a peek at what I am reading this weekend .......add cocoa .....tea ,  and a blanket and I am sorted  for the weekend . 

Reading This Weekend

Hi guys! Did you all get through the storm of last week? Hopefully you did without too much fuss . 

I picked up some awesome library books today that I am hoping to read through this weekend and a bit of next week . I am always more interested in cooking in the autumn/ winter months more so then the summer time so I like to try out some new cookery books this time of year and see what recipes catch my interest . 

I also got a good mystery( who does not love Jessica fletcher) and a book about a bookstore ( that title peeked my interest straight away ) . Anyway guys this is what I will be reading , I hope you have lots of lovely reading planned too especially if we are getting another storm coming , it might be time to batten down the hatches with a teapot and stack of books if it heads your way   :0)

How To Hang A Witch by Adriana Mather. Review

This is a story based around a teen girl called Sam , we quickly learn that her father is in hospital with a serious problem and she has to move house with her stepmother to Salem , home to the Salem Witch trials back in the day . Being a new girl in town  has its problems too when a certain group of bitchy girls at school all related to those persecuted in the witch trials of the past decide to make her unwelcome . 

This was so much fun , it had just the right amount of historical details combined with modern day problems making it an all round great read with interesting characters and a fresh new look at a modern day witch hunt . Go read this!!

Hurricane Ophelia

Hi guys . As it seems we are starting the week with a great big hurricane ( let's hope it fizzles to a bit of a breeze by the time it reaches us ) please stay safe , charge phones and don't take unnecessary risks. Keep pets and loved ones safe until it passes. Nothing is worth the risk if it does prove to be a hurricane hitting us. If ever there was a night for some hygge it's tonight .
