My review is in for "The Barbecue at No.9".
Quick question: Do you remember Live Aid, Sony Walkmans, and Jackie magazine? If you smiled fondly at the memory, then most likely this is a book for you.

A change of pace for me with a twisty psychological thriller. A fashion designer on the edge of her big break, and an infatuated admirer who just happens to be handsome and rich...What's not to like? #booksky For the full review visit my Booksta ( @scrollingbooks )
Anyone for a new theory on the identity of Jack the Ripper? An intriguing theory about gang culture in Victorian London and a man smack at the heart of it all. #booksky #historybookchat #jacktheripper (visit my Booksta @scrollingbooks for the full review)
A fascinating insight into a disease that could not be discussed in polite society.
What was the last non-fiction book you read? #booksky
I have a fascination with the history of smuggling, and I'm soon moving to Bembridge, a place mentioned in this book. I make no comment about my career intentions (ha ha ha) This is a really interesting book for anyone interested in social history or smuggling. #booksky
Currently moving house and husband has discovered boxes and boxes of models.
Many congratulations! House of All Sorrows deserves lots of attention.
Book review: A retelling of Jekyll and Hyde (only I haven't read the original, so does that make it a 'telling' for me?) Visit my Booksta (also @scrollingbooks ) for the full review. #booksky #historicalfiction #historicalfiction+
If you love Agatha Christie and love true crime - then this book is a win for you. Full review on my Booksta (link in bio) #historybookchat #booksky
How wonderful! 🥰
This book is one of the reasons I love history - you are right, it brings it to life.
I’d no more go out naked than I would without a book.
Say ‘Hi’ if this sounds like you 🥰😂 #booksky
Book Review: "Strange Ways to Die in the Tudor Ages" - a highly readable book for anyone interested in history, trivia, or the Tudor era #booksky #historybookchat #nonfiction
Is it wrong to chuckle over how people die? I've just reviewed this informative and readable book about unusual deaths in the Tudor ages...such as the man who shot himself with his own bow and arrow. Like history and partial to trivia? You should enjoy this. #historybookchat #booksky

Interested in the mind of a serial killer? A new book about criminal profiling...and Conan Doyle trying to solve the Jack the Ripper murders. #booksky #historybookchat
A scholarly biography of an 'awkward woman' whose campaigns for suffrage, education, and social justice were well ahead of their times. #historybookchat #booksky #bookreview
That moment when you finish a wonderful book and want to start all over again. Quite the most moving, enjoyable, unforgettable read of 2025 so far... #booksky #bookreview
A solid 5-star read on the end of the Tudor dynasty.

A story that hints at the supernatural, but where the events have a haunting and poignant explanation. #booksky #historicalfiction+ Full review on my Booksta
A fledgling author at the start of an adventure… please join me! #booksky #authors #readingcommunity
A fabulous non-fiction read about a true-crime and miscarriage of justice. The author reconstructs events...but does he solve this century old mystery? Full review on my booksta. #historybookchat #booksky #bookreview
Hahaha! I am a rank amateur compared to you when it comes to page markers . They are a recent discovery for me and no going back now. I feel the colours say a lot about you as a person. 😂
Ohh, yes, I'm with your there. I used to divert to the library on the way home from school, to get that fix. 😍
Beautiful 😍
Obsessed with my new page markers.
What simple things make you absurdly happy? 😃
Let’s share and smile together .

Saw this beauty on the morning dog walk.
How should I take best advantage of this good luck? 🥰 #goodluck #dogwalk #happythoughts
5-stars for the true story of a woman tried for the same murder 3 times (told as a novel). An engrossing insight into what people will do to survive. #booksky #HistoricalFiction+ What book based on a true story last had you hooked?
