QUESTION: do you notice your book tastes changing as you get older? I definitely think I'm reaching for more character driven books these days. I'm not sure what I would have thought about Less 10 years ago but it was my favourite read of last year. Such a realistic portrayal of humanity. It captures how it feels to get older and worry about your last choices. I genuinely loved everything about this book. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 21. It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. 📚 #books #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #bookshelves #bookshelf #bookshelfdecor #readers #booklover #bookish #bookcovers #booknerd #booksofinstagram #pulitzerprize #pulitzerprizewinner #5starreads #5starbooks

QUESTION: We still annoyed by the fact that Arya killed the Night King? I still don't understand why it bothered people. Jon had no real training yet Arya spent ages learning how to be awesome. Jon never would have survived that face off. It's insane that he stayed alive as long as he did. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 20 📚 #books #bookstagram #instabooks #instareads #bookshelves #bookshelf #bookshelfdecor #readers #booklover #bookish #bookcovers #booknerd #booksofinstagram #gameofthrones #asongoficeandfire #asoiaf

A beautifully simple cover for a wonderful book. I love how this manages to capture everything without it feeling cluttered. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 19. Fancy fonts

QUESTION: which Quidditch position would you play? I'm not exactly a natural sportsman but who wouldn't want to give Quidditch a go? I know I'm not attentive enough to be a seeker or quick enough to cover three goals. Being a chaser seems more exciting but, if I'm honest, I'd probably only make it as a beater. It feels like the position you'd give to the person who really tries but is generally useless. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 18. Sports: real or imaginary

If there's two things my family love it's Scotland and dogs. So, it's no wonder that we were so drawn to the story of Greyfriars Bobby. And this book is so beautiful that there was no way I couldn't buy it. Tartan and clothbound? Is there any better combo? 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 17 #ontuesdayswepostnewbooks

I loved Eleanor Oliphant because it was the perfect mix of heartbreaking and hopeful. I know there was a lot of amplification of the issues involved but I think it was a really positive novel. The reason it was in my top 5 reads from 2018. 📚 From my review: "For a novel that unashamedly deals with some of the darker aspects of human life, it is an incredibly warm and uplifting novel. Yes, there are also the heartbreaking lows and painful self-examination. But this is a novel that, despite everything, champions kindness."

QJESTION: what book is next on you TBR? As I said yesterday, my next read is going to be The Testaments. I'd not intended to buy it yet but, once again, I was weak. It's all I've been hearing about for weeks. It's got to happen. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 15. My next read is...

QUESTION: to flatlay or not to flatlay? You know by know that I'm never satisfied with my feed, so it shouldn't shock you that I'm still questioning everything. But it's difficult to ignore how low my engagement is right now. It's dropped dramatically from the start of the year. And it's not going to bother me too much but it's always good to get second opinions I guess. 📚 Moving my white bookshelf into my room has allowed me to start taking some better non-flatlay photos. I'm already quite enjoying the set-up so here's a quick Margaret Atwood shot. In the hope it inspires me to read quickly and start the new one.

QUESTION: what are you reading this week? So, I wasn't planning on buying a copy of The Testaments yet. I was going to be good and get through some more of my TBR. But I caved this week. I'm not even reading it yet. I wanted to reread The Handmaid's Tale first. So, here we are. Back to an old classic. Kind of perfect for these uncertain political times though. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 14. I'll never stop thinking about this book.
