Comfort Food

Cook books these days are more akin to coffee table books, with beautiful photography, some aspirational lifestyle stuff that really most of us skip over…

A brief pause in book content to show you my break A brief pause in book content to show you my breakfast. I’m a creature of routine when it comes to food & breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. This is what I eat most mornings, porridge, maple syrup, banana, nuts, berries & coconut. I mean it looks healthy but it’s a lot of sugar! Which is why I love it! It’s been a long week so just taking some time to enjoy my breakfast

I’m not usually one for audio books. I have a te I’m not usually one for audio books. I have a terrible audio memory & am easily distracted, however I must admit they help me get some chores done. Today it was pottering around the garden listening to this by @jospainauthor - great start to it. And it’s on 2 for 1 on audible.

Oh I ate this book up. Started it yesterday aftern Oh I ate this book up. Started it yesterday afternoon & couldn’t go out for my run this morning. I just got lost in it, kept forgetting it wasn’t real. It was so close to the bone & really well written. I’ll be examining it cover to cover to figure out how to write in such & engrossing way. 

Blurb: 
It's December 2023 and the world as we know it has ended.

The human race has been wiped out by a virus called 6DM ('Six Days Maximum' - the longest you've got before your body destroys itself). 

But somehow, in London, one woman is still alive. A woman who has spent her whole life compromising what she wants, hiding how she feels and desperately trying to fit in. A woman who is entirely unprepared to face a future on her own.

Now, with only an abandoned golden retriever for company, she must travel through burning cities, avoiding rotting corpses and ravenous rats on a final journey to discover if she really is the last surviving person on earth.

And with no one else to live for, who will she become now that she's completely alone?

Thanks to @elizabethseales for buying it for my birthday & to @beth_writes_stuff for writing such a fantastic book.

Finally finished this (not the chocolate - that’ Finally finished this (not the chocolate - that’s long gone!) but The Cuckoo’s Calling. It’s taken me so long, not because  I didn’t enjoy it, but because I’ve done so little reading recently with preparation for the launch of It’s Not Never. 

I really enjoyed this, don’t know why I haven’t picked it up before. It’s not in the thriller genre which is popular at the moment but a proper detective story, which I loved. Definitely going to read the rest in the series. Thanks so much to @lcylcylcy for sending it & getting me into it.

I hardly keep any books. Almost every book in my h I hardly keep any books. Almost every book in my house is TBR. We don’t have the space & I’m largely unsentimental, so apart from multiple, beautiful copies of some classics, and some non-fic reference books, I pass on almost everything. But I have a small collection of books that I have kept for rereading. Some are nostalgic comfort reads like my small collection of Sweet Valley books, or my collection of out of print Drina Ballerina books. I’ve kept two Louise Bagshawe books because they remind me of being a teenager again. 

The Pursuit of Happiness and An Astronaut’s Guide... are two of my favourite non-fic books & I recommend them to everyone. 

You Had Me At Hello & The Stationery Shop of Tehran are both gorgeous love stories. And the main character in How To Be Famous just reminded me of me as a teenager. Finally The Power I’ve kept mainly for my daughters to read, it’s an excellent & thought provoking book. 

📚 So, these are my keepers. Do you pass books on? What are your keepers?
