Tea Time & Books...

22nd May 2017

What I'm Reading – May.


The Name of This Books is Secret and If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late – Pseudonymous Bosch 

I read the first book in this series, ‘The Name of This Book is Secret’ years and years ago but I loved it! I put the box set on my amazon wishlist and thats where it sat for years. Then for Christmas just gone I printed off my amazon book wishlist to give to my mum, save having her trying to remember the books I’d have liked. And low and behold, Christmas morning I was unwrapping this. Since I first read it, they’ve had a cover change, which honestly I wasn’t too fond of to begin with, but it’s grown on me and I love the fact that they all match and look pretty on my shelf now.
Throne of Glass – Sarah J. Maas 
Illuminae – Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff 

Both of these books are ones that I’ve picked up and started in the last year but haven’t finished. Illuminae was a book that intrigued me because of the way it was set out. I love books that incorporate picture, diagrams, folders and things because I think it immerses you even more in the story. However, after reading a fair chunk of this, I wasn’t sure if I was getting on with the layout. That being said – I really do want to get around to finishing this because I have heard nothing but good things about it. Throne of Glass is a book that I loved when I was reading it, but when I went to uni I forgot it and it somehow made its way to the back of my bookcase and I’ve only recently pulled it back out. We all know that everything Sarah J. Maas writes is gold, so I can’t wait to sink my teeth back into this.
Down and out in Paris and London – George Orwell

I’m not going to lie, I don’t really know what this one is about. But I’ve decided that I’d like to read more of the classics and I’ve had this one for such a long time, I thought I should just give it a go.

Tell me you're a mood reader, without telling me y Tell me you're a mood reader, without telling me you're a mood reader 🙈

Away from my bookcase for all of three nights, yet need all the options because I've nearly finished my current read, 3 new books and a kindle is reasonable right? ✌️
Anyone have sections of their bookshelves they jus Anyone have sections of their bookshelves they just enjoy looking at? 🤩 I chucked my recent purchases on my shelf the other day and really like the way they looked together, sad I know, but it's the small things in life 🙈
Monthly little kindle haul 👀 I always get suck Monthly little kindle haul 👀

I always get sucked into the 99p deals, I'm a sucker for a deal! However, is it a deal when you have hundreds of books on your kindle already that you haven't read yet? 🤣 This month I picked up:

✨️ The Enigma of Room 622
✨️ Happy Place 
✨️ The Wolf and the Woodsman 
✨️ Notes on Heartbreak 
✨️ Her Majesty's Royal Coven 
✨️ Merideth Alone 

Have you picked any of these up? Read any? Let me know! ☺️

Have I been telling absolutely everyone who would lend me an ear about how absolutely fantastic this new musical is? Yes, yes I have! I booked this back in November on a complete whim! Mostly because in the email I got, it was described as "part Mel Brooks, part Six, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors", and if that doesn't hook you I don't know what will! Other than the brief synopsis in the email, I went in blind, knowing nothing about the show, the music or the actors but man do I want to shout about them now. 

Firstly, the Fortune Theatre felt like the perfect kind of venue for a show like this, surprisingly intimate and like you were actually involved in the action. From the very first song, I was hooked, I knew that I was in for a good one! The actors were all absolutely  phenomenal, each one with comical timing that was absolutely on the money along with some fantastic pipes that were definitely easy on the ears. I laughed, I teared up, I didn't want it to end, everything from the music to the staging was absolute perfection if you ask me. @spitlip aren't a group I'd heard of before, but certainly won't be one I forget fast. I will absolutely without a single doubt be going to see this again before it closes, and only pray that it actually sticks around. Potentially the best new musical I've seen in a very, very long time! Go get your tickets now, old chap! ✌️
