Finally got to my Q2 wrap up and 1st half of the year recommended reads. I had some phenomenal Q2 reads and far too many books to recommend over the first half of the year - could easily do my 25 in 25 now!

My favourite house of 2023!

She arrived!! SMG is an autobuy author for me and I had been planning on holding out to get a US version as I prefer the cover...but then I saw the Waterstones edition with those sprayed edges and end papers 😍

Lidl coming in for the win with its South America week. Who needs an epcot food festival when you can get an entire bag of Pao de Quiejo for a fiver!!

Remembering Jules Bianchi. Today. And every day. ❤️

Randomly put on Wicked on Sky when it was halfway through. Ive been determined not to like it because the press tour was insufferable. But it's actually pretty great!

That still doesnt mean I want a load at the universal theme parks! The aesthetic is too similar to HP. Maybe the UK park where there won't be any HP.

Out of spite I was determined to not like that movie. Motherfuckers got me good. Gonna have to watch part 2 now when it comes out.

Super thankful I got to see Sabbath at Download back in the day. A true metal star and a music legacy that will live on.

I love Halloween tat and definitely need that spoopy ghost cushion!

I couldn't help myself. I was going to get the UK editions of Killer on the Road and The Babysitter Lives but really really wanted the US double header. So I found an american stockist. She's a gloriously floppy paperback too!

Well Fantastic 4 was pretty darn Fantastic! First Marvel I've loved since Shang-chi and the most emotionally invested ive been since Infinity War!

A Miami Vice is absolutely a must do when staying at Universal. Frozen cocktail by the pool - definitely!

July's round up and 34 books read and again two 5 star reads. Overall a strong line up of reads!

Reg the Ledge One of my favourite threads last year.

Oh dear, seems like I've got a new series to binge: Cara Hunter's DI Adam Fawley. Just read Close to Home & despite the digital pile of eArcs staring at me I only want to read book two. Police procedural with mixed media. I love it and it's perfect duvet day reading material!
