Have you put your Christmas tree / decorations up yet? @piccadillywaterstones have! Doesn't the fiction floor look v.festive? ⁣ ⁣ A Christmas tree surrounded by books is exactly what I want to wake up to on Christmas morning 🎄⁣ ⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ ⁣ #Christmastree #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #waterstones #bookshop #bookstore #bookcommunity #christmasdecorations #bookblogger #igreads #booksofinstagram #bookblog #reading #thegiftofreading #london

You can't beat a retro cover, can you?⁣ ⁣ Interesting fact: These two Agatha covers are not sister editions... I initially thought they were but 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 was published in 1976 by Fontana, while 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 is from 1981 and published by Bantam Books.⁣ ⁣ Anyway, that's enough facts for a Tuesday eve. Linked or not, they're both striking editions and I love them!⁣ What do you think? ⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ ⁣ #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #bookblogger #igreads #booksofinstagram #agathachristie #classicauthor #reading #novel #coverart #retrocovers #booklover #bookcover #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity

When the sun hits those Drop Caps 😍 Disclaimer: This pic was taken a few days ago, not during the grey bleakness of today's weather... #bookstagrammers #bookstagram #dropcaps #penguindropcaps #rainbowstack #sundayshelfie #rainbowbooks #bookshelf #reading #fiction #bookblogger #booklover #booklove #bookworm #reader

If you're in the mood to spend these dark evenings getting lost in a great murder mystery, may I recommend 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘔𝘢𝘯.⁣ ⁣ I'll give you no spoilers but will say that this book gives you an ending you won’t guess and leaves you going back over all the clever story threads in your mind. ⁣ ⁣ It’s definitely one you’ll be recommending, just so you have someone to discuss it with! ⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ ⁣ #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #bookreview #bookblogger #igreads #booksofinstagram #novel #fiction #amreading #book #bookphotography #TheChalkMan #CJTudor #murdermystery #chalk #chalkman #reading #booklover #murdermysterybook #bookrecommendation #bookrec

I read 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘩 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘦 years ago after a friend recommend it (pretty sure it was you @chfarnham 🤔) and this gothic story has stuck in my mind ever since. It's reached the point where the details are just hazy enough that I know I'll enjoy a re-read.⁣ ⁣ BUT this time round I'm going to listen to it on audiobook, see if it adds anything to the story.⁣ ⁣ Have you ever read the book 𝘢𝘯𝘥 listened to the audiobook? Did you find big differences in the storytelling?⁣ ⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ ⁣ #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #bookblogger #igreads #reading #novel #fiction #readers #thethirteethtale #dianesetterfield #gothicnovel #audiobook #bookrecommendation #bookrec #bookworm #booklover #bookphotography

// Let's talk unexpected reads.⁣ ⁣ I really didn't know what this was about, I just picked it up in the library on a whim and bloody loved it!⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘓𝘪𝘦𝘴 sees our narrator leave London with her toddler son (and start a long-distance marriage situation) for a new job as a Creative Writing lecturer at a uni but this leaves her essentially isolated, juggling motherhood and a full time job, alone. We learn about her students through the creative writing pieces they are working on in her class. It's one particular student, Nicholas, who pushes all boundaries with his tutor and tries to blend reality and fiction with his writing, with dramatic consequences...⁣ ⁣ Clever, perfectly pitched and just a great page turner, I highly recommend this!⁣ ⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ ⁣ #bookrec #bookrecommendation #bookphotography #coffee #latte #bookandcoffee #coffeeandbook #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #bookreview #bookblogger #igreads #booksofinstagram #thebodylies #jobaker #amdeading #bookworm #booklover #book #bookish #weekendread
