Friday favourites – Books that were recommended to you!

On May 10, 2019May 10, 2019 By mindforbooksIn Friday Favourites!2 Comments

I have gotten so behind with everything lately and most of it is down to pure laziness. Hit a bit of a speed bump that wasn't due to my laziness last week but overall my lack of blog posting is down to my preferring to browse for more books, read or just stare off into …

Beautiful prose? . I’m a sucker for the beautiful prose and I’ve read some humdingers this year but one of the best has to be Where the Crawdads Sing by @authordeliaowens. To be honest with you I’m dying to read it again but I try not to read the same book more than once a year because if I don’t do that I’ll end up with an even bigger tbr pile than the one I have and the one I have is very scary. I have broken my rule once already this year though so it’s possible I’ll cave with this book. 🙈 . What book would you read over and over? . #WitchyReadsOctober day 14- #BeautifulProse

Happy #SockSunday everyone! . I think my least favourite pictures to take for bookstagram are sock Sunday ones. I find them really difficult to do and it’s hard to think of original ways to take them. . So what are your least favourite booksta photos to take? . #WitchyReadsOctober day 13- Sock Sunday

How’s everyone this Saturday? . I thought I’d have a lazy day but I somehow ended up doing lots of washing and cleaning. I did nap for ages though! 😴 . So today’s prompt for #WitchyReadsOctober is favourite setting. What’s your favourite book setting? . I love the #Grishaverse. I love the whole world and the fact that I put up with Alina and Mal (who I absolutely hate) speaks volumes about how great the world building is. Then we have the #TheSixOfCrows duology! I just adored everyone in that and the world building was even stronger. I haven’t read #KingOfScars yet though. I’ve been saving it. 😂 . #WitchyReadsOctober day 12- #FavouriteSetting

Home. 🥳 . Wrecked. 😴 . Going to try finish The Alienist. I need to be awake for this so this will be an accomplishment. Finished my Seven Deaths reread on the plane. Great book. . Can’t wait to be in my own bed tonight. Lovely villa but the hardest beds I’ve ever encountered! . #WitchyReadsOctober day 11- #Villains {need to reread Vicious soon and read Vengeful.}

Today was our last full day in Portugal and well I’m wrecked after it. Because it was the last day I insisted we get up early and do a few hours at the beach with a beach swim of course. Lunch, in what’s become a favourite spot. Then onto the big salt water pool, which I adore, for a swim. Back to the villa for a swim in our private pool and some Spritz, shower and change and walk 25 minutes over the dunes to a beautiful little restaurant we found and will be coming back for. I tell you this, relaxing is stressful. 😂 Portugal is just so lovely. Many moons ago I came here and had the actual worst holiday of my life (friend drama and lots of drunken idiots) and I swore I’d never be back. That holiday was only about 15 minutes from where we are now but might as well be a million miles away. I’m so glad we came back. This is my third time back to this resort and next time we will do way more but after the year we’ve had lounging around, swimming and eating the best seafood has been just what we needed. . Tonight we also chatted about going back to Lisbon. Another great spot. I’m also mad to do Porto and there is a library somewhere that I’m pretty sure I read about and need to go to. Portugal 🇵🇹 is the business. If you’ve not been add it to the list. 💞 . #WitchyReadsOctober day 10- #OtherRealms {rereading this bad boy in November. Just adore everything about this book.}

“Now cracks a noble heart.—Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest! ” . Tonight I raise a glass to a beautiful soul who was one of the greatest dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. My friend fostered dogs many moons ago and one of her fosters was a very badly abused Staffordshire Bull Terrier who’d had a tough start in life. Anyone who has known a Staffie will know they are the gentlest of breeds and are basically big teddy bears. They don’t look it though so often get overlooked in shelters or dismissed as dangerous or assumed that they’d be good dogs for fighting. Something that we suspected happened in this case. . So the handsome and noble Mr. Beasley met a young Californian who fell so in love she couldn’t give him up. So he took her heart and she took on making sure he had the best possible life any doggo could have. . {continued in comments}
