Hello everyone and hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I was at the theatre last night so missed doing my #stacksaturday but I really wanted to join the #goldspinesstack challenge which I saw on the lovely @lovedreadingthis page. I’ve mixed this up a bit from the pure gold spines to some pretty gold lettering! Out of this little stack I’ve read and loved Wham George & Me, Court Of Miracles, How Much Of These Hills Is Gold, The Mad Women’s Ball and All The Birds Singing 😍 Have you read any of these? I’d love to know! Come have a chat with me in the comments! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #whamgeorgeandme #andrewridgeley #aladysguidetofortunehunting #sophieirwin #thecourtofmiracles #kestergrant #howmuchofthesehillsisgold #cpamzhang #therabbitqueen #dexterpalmer #thegifts #lizhyder #themadwomensball #victoriamas #allthebirdssinging #eviewyld #booksandcandlesmakemehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck5he4Lr-0a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s off and popping today with @tiff_net 2021. I was fortunate enough to screen quite a few titles in advance and these are a few if my favs- The Mad Women’s Ball, Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over, Violet, Dear Evan Hansen, Julia, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain and Attica. Here we go!!!! #tiff #tiff2021 #filmfestival #filmcriticism #thecurvycritic #themadwomensball #attica #violet #theelectricallifeoflouiswain #theeyesoftammyfaye #dionnewarwick #dearevanhansen #becomingcousteau https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmr01TrnMt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello everyone and happy Friday! I’m getting better (I hope) slowly but surely so here’s a book haul with three hardbacks I was eagerly anticipating. The Mad Women’s Ball is short at 224 pages but looks like it packs a punch. It’s described as a literary historical novel that explores what institutionalised women had to go through in 19th century Paris. I’m sure a lot of you have heard or read Animal by now and I’ve seen some quite mixed reviews. I loved the author’s previous non fiction book, Three Women and I’m still keen to make up my own mind on this one. It’s described as a depiction of female rage and an exploration of the fallout in a male-dominated world so in theory, looks like something I’d be interested in reading. We shall see! Finally I was drawn to The Stranding by the gorgeous cover and intriguing synopsis. This is the story of a woman living in the city with a complicated life whose relationship becomes claustrophobic. Seeking freedom she escapes to the other side of the world to find that the world she knew is no longer there. If you’ve read or you fancy reading any of these books I’d love to know your opinions! Let’s have a chat in the comments and have a lovely weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookhaul #bookhoarder #hardbackbooks #hardbackhopefuls #hardbackhaul #themadwomensball #victoriamas #animal #lisataddeo #thestranding #katesawyer #booksimexcitedtoread #icanthelpmyself https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPhwCkAjyS/?utm_medium=tumblr
