It’s been such a busy week at work so this morning I spent a lazy morning in bed with a cup of coffee, Queen Caeca and The Wilde Diaries by Marc W Shako. It’s a book I downloaded from Kindle Unlimited and was drawn into immediately. It follows Joel Brewer’s quest to understand what drove his friend to suicide immediately after Joel agreed to help him finish a book about Lucas Wilde, a rock star who also killed himself just as his band made it 40 years earlier. With only a box of Lucas’ diaries, his friend’s notes and some reel to reel tapes as clues, Joel follows a trail of greed, death and a sinister figure haunting people’s dreams… I enjoyed the dual timeline in this novel between Lucas’ experiences and Joel’s investigation, and there were plenty of times where I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I gave this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 which I don’t often do in the horror/supernatural thriller genre. If you like the thrill of urban legends like the hat man or slender man, I think you’ll enjoy this! #bookstagrammer #ukbookstagram #spookyread #horrorgenre #queencaeca #bookwormlife #catmumlife #lazysaturdaymorning #kindleunlimitedbooks

Who knew that upside down drawing could be so fun? Line drawing over key features of a portrait followed by freehand drawing and a bit of watercolour - working with the pictures upside down really gave a fresh perspective and took away the fear of attempting a portrait @outlineartsuk @jamesconnollycomedy #artclub #onlineartclass #portraitdrawings #upsidedownart #watercolourpencils #mindfulart #amateurartists

Had a very hygge afternoon with Daniel making stage one of our festive gnome bunting - lots of little hats dotted around the house waiting to be stuffed and for pompom beards to be made and glued to them. I need to hide them from Greebo though, as he likes to “hunt” woolly things and runs off at speed with them! Greebo’s namesake doesn’t appear in this Discworld book but a few of my favourite characters do such as The Bursar and Foul Ole Ron. It feels like the perfect time of year to revisit some Discworld books. This one, Mort and Reaper Man are great ones to try if you fancy a taste of Terry Pratchett’s world without starting from the beginning. Oh and the homemade cookies were delicious #bookstagrammer #ukbookstagram #discworld #terrypratchett #hogfather #homemadecookies #timefortea #hyggetime #christmascrafts #gnomes #bookwormlife #hyggelife

📚📚Book review: The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor 📚📚 It’s been ages since I’ve posted a review as I seemed to lose my reading mojo after catching Covid again over summer and had been doing some deep thinking about life changes. So it’s been good to get back to enjoying reading again and this was a great book to devour over Halloween. It follows Rev Jack Brooks and her teenage daughter Flo as they try to settle into their new community but find things aren’t quite as they seem. A bloody history of burning martyrs and a decades old disappearance both begin to encroach on modern day life as they try to decide who to trust, who to fear, and who may be chasing them in the shadows. 📚The characters were well written in my view, with Jack being my favourite, and although I guessed one of the twists, I had no hope of seeing the rest of them coming! 📚 The novel raised some interesting points in my mind of how we often see the collar rather than the person wearing it when we enter a church, forgetting perhaps that they too have human flaws, emotions and indeed skeletons in the closet. If you enjoyed Chalk Man or have previously enjoyed Phil Rickman’s books, I think you’ll love this. If you’re looking for someone gentle like the Vicar Of Dibley though, keep walking - you won’t find her here… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #ukbookstagram #theburninggirls #cjtudor #thrillerbooks #spookybooks
