Happy May! It feels like April went past in a blur!

Pretty normal week with work for me and school for my son but he had an inset day on Friday and he went into town with his friends for the first time! I tried to remain calm but was so jealous when he told me they were going for Nandos!!!

Two 5 star books this week, it was a good reading week!

Topic: Petty Reasons You’ve DNF’d a Book

A few years ago I would’ve said I wouldnt have had many but the below reasons spilled out pretty quick!!!! Must be my age!!!!

~ Love triangles (cannot stand them!)
~ My mood
~ Repeating words constantly (I can’t unsee it!)
~ Third act drama that is too drawn out (no thanks!)
~ Flowery writing
~ An annoying character (just ugh)
~ Closed door segsual scenes (I’m flabbergasted!)
~ My fave character dies (hard pass thanks!)

What are yours?

Hope you’ve had a good week?

Absolutely ordinary week this week! We’re getting back into the flow of being up early for school/work and I’m tired!

I’ve got a few problems with my back again, called the doctor for an appointment and no appointments for 3 weeks – all I want to do is get referred to my private healthcare provider!!!

Two books read this week, a reread and a monster of a book, 716 pages!
