Becky, best friend, and partner in crime. Mandy, who is harbouring her own well-kept secret. Peter, Mandy’s brother, who clearly has an eye for the ladies and Ben, who is looking for love.

Who has read any Austen lately... I feel the need to read a classic! Haven’t read anything but my own book in a while... getting withdrawal symptoms! #mansfieldparkjaneausten #emma #persuasionjaneausten #janeausten #literaryclassics https://www.instagram.com/p/CIFgcYRgXnR/?igshid=z3d0ag0yty8u

Another new read is going to be started this weekend! I’m already freaked out from looking at the cover... love thrillers as I can’t help but turn the page even when I know I should be asleep/ tidying/ getting up/ cooking dinner etc... Let’s just say@it gets addictive. @writeremeraldobrien #newread #followherhome #followherhomenovel https://www.instagram.com/p/CHPcCwjArOJ/?igshid=kotxtd7stadr

Forgot to say... finished this during the half term. Another banger from @drewdavieswriter. I was gripped, wanting to know the fates off all the characters. I loved the different POVs and again, amazed with how Drew can write from the perspective of characters from different ages and stages of life and they are wholly believable! Haven’t written a review yet but will do :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHKOXLXgQbm/?igshid=ri1zo6p0zbvh

So another #throwbackthursday 1977 this time. I remember watching Just William on the TV, BBC and loving it. When I got this book (have since lost the dust jacket) I remember reading this and just laughing the whole way through! It’s still a book I pick up the odd time and read a story out of... if you like old fashioned funny stories for kids but with an undercurrent storyline that only adults understand I would highly recommend this! I didn’t realise there were more stories! Does anyone else remember watching this on the telly? https://www.instagram.com/p/CEY4sePgmNj/?igshid=6lnnjdpzx52g
