I need a #funnybook to #read Suggestions? This is my funny #toread pile! #bookstagram #booksworthreading #bookhaul
This #sundayreading is about home and what it means. Set in modern day London around a disparate collection of characters, at the heart of which is a dead woman whom no one has identified. I do love Linda Grant’s books and so far this one is going well. #sundayreads #bookstagram #booksworthreading #books #amreading

This #sundayreads has a superb concept- protagonist meets old friend after 10 years and her children have not aged at all. So the title is literal. Enjoying so far- no idea where it’s going to go #bookstagram #booksworthreading #amreading #sundayreading

This #sundayreading was a debut a few years ago. I’m enjoying it; quite interesting characters, several povs and all based in a soulless shopping centre in Birmingham. Quite quirky.

This #sundayreads is another autobiography- really fascinating account of growing up in 50s. Despite wealthy family she was totally restricted.
Beautifully written too #amreading #sundayreading #bookstagram #books

Top Ten Books About Time Travel
I adore anything to do with time travel. Far more interesting than life after death, easier to grasp than parallel universes, it allows for the exploration of so many ideas, concepts, truths about human nature, history, and possibilities. Here are my top ten reads. 1....
