Signed Books Sunday…I was very excited when we recently received signed copies of The Great Dream Robbery at work at @rossiter_books as I’m a huge @greg_james fan! His @bbcradio1 show always brightens up my mornings and I also love his writing partnership with @chrissmithstagram and so I just had to treat myself to a copy for this year’s Bookshop Day the other week!

One of my favourite classic literature novels is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which is also one of my favourite horror novels! I loved studying the book at university and it is a book I would really like to read again sometime. I actually just found the receipt for the book inside the pages! It is very faded, but it was actually this month almost twenty years ago that I bought it on 10th October 2003! How time flies! 🤯🤪😅

Terror Tuesday…The horror genre is a genre that often gets looked down, but it really shouldn’t be so easily dismissed. Horror is a genre that is often used to highlight social issues and the horror aspect of a story can be used to reflect the horrors of real life. The monsters and creatures that feature in horror novels can represent the true horror of society and these stories can even help readers grapple with their own struggles or just provide a comfort and escape from the realities of life.

“Do you like scary movies?”

#currentlyreading Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr, which is so good! I loved All the Light We Cannot See so much and have been so excited for the release of Cloud Cuckoo Land. Doerr’s writing is so beautiful and I am loving the bookish theme within the novel. It really highlights the magic and power of books. I’m buddy reading the book with a former Bookstagrammer and it’s the perfect book to highlight just how books connect people and how friendships are made here, regardless of whether we stay online or not. Instagram may or may not be around forever, but friendships never end. 🥰💫❤️
