I just picked up my holiday books and feel very excited! They include yesteryear and the new Rob Rinder book and some other nice light crime books. What’s everyone else picked up?

Read Lies, Lies, Lies - Adele Parks - oh my goodness, it was so, so bad.

Listened to Hope This Finds You Well - Natalie Sue. I ummed and aahed and wasn't sure about getting this one but I loved it.

Started Yesteryear. Its not grabbing me like I thought it would but early days and I'm sticking with it.

Read A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

And Tell me Everything by Elizabeth Strout.

Both v good especially the latter

I read recently:

Five by Ilona Bannister
Natural disaster by Lisa Owens
Like this but funnier by Hallie Cantor

All great releases from this year.

I read The Life Impossible by Matt Haig. It's set on Ibiza and I was holidaying on Ibiza, so it was the perfect read!

Perfect! Last year I read the wedding people on my holiday and loved it.

I’ve got nine to take away with me this time 😬 my justification is a) it’s a solo trip and b) there’s a lot of public transport involved!

I’m reading a book (not novel) when I go on holidays called The Great Plague. And Ordinary People by Diana Evans.

I've bought two books by Kate Morton.
I haven't read any of her books before so I hope I like them.
They are unfortunately the size of a brick so will take up bag space.
I might change my mind and switch to a small and thin book instead 😂

I’m reading The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriaty and enjoying it so far :) I’ll pick up another one before the end of the trip but not sure what yet :)
