Hi everyone, hope you’ve had a good week?
A week of great sadness for us here with the passing of our Queen, Elizabeth, on Thursday. The only monarch I’ve known. I feel absolutely so sad. I’m not an emosh person but I shed some tears. What a great lady. And now we have a King, King Charles III. It feels so surreal.
It was back to school for my son this week and us getting back into the same routine, it was tiring!
As well as the below reads I’ve started listening to Babel but it’s huge so no way I would’ve got it finished this week, hopefully next week!

I love the monarchy but maybe it’s a British thing, bought up with it and all I know. Can’t say I love all of them though!!!! But Queenie was a gem. ☕️☕️📚❤️

The Queen’s passing is so sad and so surreal. It did feel like she would live forever and I can’t imagine anyone having a problem with it if she did. Now, how many people would that be true of in the world today? Hope you have a good week!

I completely agree with you about the Queen. I’m not really a royalist but she has been there my whole life as well and it feels so strange that she isn’t anymore.

Even though I’m on the other side of the pond, I’ve always kept up with the royal family, so I was very sad to learn of Queen Elizabeth’s passing last week. King Charles has some big shoes to fill.

I went into it with an open mind due to all the backlash and it would’ve been a great mg read……if the characters were written better!

I am listening to Babel too! So far it’s a little bit boring…

I’m really enjoying it. I’m shocked at some of the stuff in there but so hooked to the plot.
