O.W.L.s MAGICAL READATHON

Hello! Long time no see! We have been going through stomach bug and flu and then coronavirus happened and put everything in a mess. I have been home for two weeks with kids now because we had normal flu and that way couldn’t go anywhere. Tomorrow we are getting back to work and daycare because I can’t afford to stay at home any longer. I want to trust that everyone will keep their sick kids at home so everyone can be at least relatively safe. I hope you are staying safe and healthy as well!!

But I decided to take part to the O.W.L.s this year!! It’s hosted by the lovely G @Book Roast and the timeline is from April 1st to April 30. So shall we see what I’m trying to accomplish during next month?

“A deliciously Agatha Christie-style mystery that sucks you in from the first page.” Sibel Hodge bestselling author of Look Behind You

“A good old Whodunnit from Ms Reavley that will keep readers guessing till the very end!” J.A. Baker Bestselling author of The Other Mother

Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They’ve come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It’s a happy gathering. What could be more harmless?

Then scratch the surface and look closer.

One is lonely. One is desperate and one of them is a killer.

When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called in to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn’t clear… And it all leads back to a book club.

As the lies, volatile friendships and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just when they think they are on the right track, a twist in the case throws them off course…

Betsy Reavley is the best-selling author of multiple thrillers including The Opticians Wife, The Quiet Ones and Frailty. Murder at the Book Club is an unmissable new whodunnit which will appeal to fans of authors like Cara Hunter, Rachel Abbott, Faith Martin and LJ Ross.

TOP 5 TUESDAY : BOOKS THAT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS

Top 5 Tuesday is created and hosted by amazing Shanah at Bionic Book Worm. Every Tuesday we have a different topic to talk about and todays topic is books that EXCEEDED my expectations!

Last week we talked about books that didn’t quite meet our expectations for them. But this week we are talking about books that surprised us! I’ve already have couple books in my mind for this but I’ve talked about those so many times before that I kind of want to showcase something else.

END OF THE WEEK #4

We have reached yet another end of a week! I can’t believe how fast time runs by, feels like no matter how well I manage my timetables for the day, it just slips away.

End of the Week is my “weekly meme”, I guess I could say. Just to sum up what has happened at my blog, instagram and life. Like a wrap up but not that much for reading but for everything else.

REVIEW : BECOMING

TITLE: Becoming
AUTHOR: Michelle Obama
GENRES: Memoir, Non-fiction
FORMAT: Audiobook
LENGTH: 19 hours
PUBLISHED: November 13th 2018
PUBLISHER: Random House Audio

Amazon|Book Depository|Goodreads

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States.

In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African-American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.
