That is very strange! Hope you like it.

I have no idea when i’ll get round to reading that book, i have such a huge to read list.

Started reading a novella to try and get my focus back - When I Awake - Dani Atkins.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

Have you ever tried reading YA fiction Lindsay? I find them so easy to read and could be helpful for focus?

Also I got a goodreads email about this and thought it looked very interesting! Alas, I’m on the edge of a rabbit hole of another specific genre to read in a short space of time so other reading may have to wait!

whoops, sorry I forgot the title won't be there when I quote! It was What Lies Buried.

So I've only read two and they were both in my stint of reading books about body acceptance for my workshop and I loved them both. If I were to choose one, I'd go for Toxic by Natasha Devon. My next project is reading a bunch of YA novels for my Pride group so will have a bunch of queer recommendations soon!

Do you ever get to just choose a book without a reason for reading it?! The author of What Lies Buried has also written another similar book.

Sometimes! But I'm so incredibly hyped for the queer YA books, it won't be a chore at all.

I spotted that Jacqueline Wilson has written a sequel to Sleepovers and downloaded that to listen to - have you read the original? She's written this sequel 20+ years later, set just after the original, as if that's reasonable :P

Just finished this! Fives stars but I think I might be a bit more generous with my stars than Lindsay :P

Now listening to Jamie by L.D.Lapinski. Also have it on the pile to physically read but will get through them faster if I listen to some of them too, especially because I listen at x2.2 speed...

You are definitely more generous with your stars! I rarely give anything 5 stars. Plus I feel weird giving foster carer memoirs high stars because of the content.

Of course updates are required! Although I see your updates on Goodreads anyway.
