my take on them <3

the part 2 to the six fic is here! I’m hoping to write more but the odds of that coming out any time soon is. low. 

Hello everyone and happy Saturday to you all. I was inspired by @salboreads to post this #bookstackforacause today which was first started by @contemporaryfiction and @katrin.loves.books March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month and this is a cause very close to my heart as I work in Bowel Cancer Screening. I’m passionate about raising awareness of the benefits of screening and it’s wonderful to hear of the cases of cancer we’ve been able to find and treat that people have been completely unaware of. It might not be a particularly pleasant thing to talk about but boy, is it important! Latest figures show that almost one third of people who were sent a screening kit in England last year didn’t complete it. Hopefully that will change as we get more comfortable speaking about this kind of issue. For every dark blue book stack posted in March @contemporaryfiction and @katrin.loves.books will donate $1/€1 to the @colorectalcanceralliance and @deutschekrebshilfe respectively. Thank you to them for spreading awareness for very personal reasons of their own. Make sure you check out their posts and if you post a stack, use the hashtag #bookstackforcoloncancer Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #booksforcharity #mapsofourspectacularbodies #maddiemortimer #maggieofarrellhamnet #thebedlamstacks #natashapulley #carimora #thomasharrisbooks #stephenkingfangirl😍📚 #billysummers #thechangeling #victorlavalle #bowelcancerawarenessmonth #screeningsaveslives #darkbluebookstack https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYTbNZr6eH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Der Uhrmacher in der Filigree Street – Natasha Pulley

London, Oktober 1883. Eines Abends kehrt Thaniel Steepleton, ein einfacher Angestellter im Innenministerium, in seine winzige Londoner Mietwohnung heim. Da findet er auf seinem Kopfkissen eine goldene Taschenuhr. Es ist ihm ein Rätsel, was es mit ihr auf sich hat. Sechs Monate später explodiert im Gebäude von Scotland Yard eine Bombe. Steepleton wurde gerade rechtzeitig gewarnt, weil seine Uhr…

Thaniel listened for a while longer, because the silence was so deep and clear that he could hear ghosts of the thirty-six of thirty-seven possible worlds in which Grace had not won at the roulette, and not stepped backward into him. He wished then that he could go back and that the ball had landed on another number. He would be none the wiser and he would be staying at Filigree Street, probably for years, still happy, and he wouldn't have stolen those years from a lonely man who was too decent to mention that they were missing. #book #bookstagram #books #booklover #booknerd #bookphotography #bookquotes #bookquote #quote #quoteoftheday #quotes #goodreads #goodreadschallenge2018 #thewatchmakeroffiligreestreet #natashapulley #love #ball #lovequote #lovequotes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5DAroHZ0D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m8aje5y22kjb

Natasha Pulley, autrice già famosa per L’orologiaio di Filigree street, in Le torri di vetro mette in piedi una storia ispirata ad una reale spedizione in Perù, aggiungendovi un tocco di mistero. Lei stessa ha intrapreso dei viaggi per conoscere la cultura e il territorio di cui si apprestava a parlare. Se doveste scrivere un libro, viaggereste per documentarvi o lo fareste unicamente da casa? O parlereste solo della realtà che avete attorno?

Happy belated #bookbirthday to this gorgeous book! And thank you so much @shaelyncherie and @bloomsburypublishing for this beautiful hardcover and candle 😍😍 This is one I plan to read this month!! . SYNOPSIS In 1859, ex-East India Company smuggler Merrick Tremayne is trapped at home in Cornwall after sustaining an injury that almost cost him his leg and something is wrong; a statue moves, his grandfather’s pines explode, and his brother accuses him of madness. When the India Office recruits Merrick for an expedition to fetch quinine—essential for the treatment of malaria—from deep within Peru, he knows it’s a terrible idea. Nearly every able-bodied expeditionary who’s made the attempt has died, and he can barely walk. But Merrick is desperate to escape everything at home, so he sets off, against his better judgment, for a tiny mission colony on the edge of the Amazon where a salt line on the ground separates town from forest. Anyone who crosses is killed by something that watches from the trees, but somewhere beyond the salt are the quinine woods, and the way around is blocked. Surrounded by local stories of lost time, cursed woods, and living rock, Merrick must separate truth from fairytale and find out what befell the last expeditions; why the villagers are forbidden to go into the forest; and what is happening to Raphael, the young priest who seems to have known Merrick’s grandfather, who visited Peru many decades before. The Bedlam Stacks is the story of a profound friendship that grows in a place that seems just this side of magical. . 💭Do you read #historicalfiction ?
