Yes, I spend a lot of time thinking about 10 Minutes... and how wonderful that was.

I'm waiting for my bookshop colleague to finish the Elif Shafak so I can read it!!! Is it also excellent?

If you're wondering what "on brand" looks like for me ... I currently have a playlist on Spotify called "Cozy bookshop" playing while I work on books.

I want to say 39 ... but hope it's more more more!

Sea of Tranquility and Station Eleven are so breathtakingly good. I have her others on the shelf to read but, I'm ashamed to admit, I haven't delved into them yet.

I've been recommending it in our bookshop, despite never having read it, based on the quality of her writing alone!

OMG tell me how you get on! I'm a huge fan of her work, and it's on my to-buy pile.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (Kindle, for my bookclub)
Buckeye by Patrick Ryan (audiobook)

Don't! Can you send some of this to Northampton please?

Yes, the unabridged version is beautiful. Very lyrical. I hadn't heard the Book at Bedtime version, so I don't know how different it was!

Reading: Whistler by Ann Patchett
Listening: Land by Maggie O'Farrell

Two of my most favourite authors, so I am really spoiling myself!

... with the dog and my parents, including a long walk and a pub lunch. Back to work today feeling thoroughly refreshed. Not least because my hair is back to being the colour I prefer! Plus I got a fringe again.
