Thanks to The Simpsons I'll always read The Shinning instead of The Shining. It's just a bit more fun. I've not read Doctor Sleep yet or seen the film. I'm not sure it's really for me. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 7 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books #christmas #christmasreads #stephenking #theshining

QUESTION: What was the last book you read? I enjoyed the first part of The Wall but I ended up being disappointed. It just didn't go deep enough into the word Lanchester had created. I would have been happy to stay on the Wall. Seeing the tension grow as the days dragged on. That was the concept I was excited about. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 6. Interesting job you guys have... 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books #christmas #christmasreads

QUESTION: Who is the greatest literary detective? In crime fiction there is a huge divide between being a genius and being nice. Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot are two of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Would you want to he friends with them? Not necessarily. I mean even their authors ended up disliking them. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 5. Unlikable characters you can't help but love 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books #christmas #christmasreads #penguinbooks

Being a Harry Potter fan as the books were being written was an odd thing. You start off at exactly the right age but, inevitably, you grow up quicker then the characters. It changed how I saw the books and how I see them now. It's a really complex relationship. I love them but there are things about the fandom that I can't cope with. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 4. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books #christmas #christmasreads #harrypotter #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone

QUESTION: What was the last book that you bought? I couldn't resist this Penguin Book of Christmas Stories. It's the kind of cover that makes you want to curl up by a fire with a mug of mulled wine. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 3. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books #christmas #christmasreads #penguinbooks

QUESTION: Who is dreaming of a white Christmas? I know everyone complains but I love a bit of snow. And it's not as if the trains could get much worse than they already are. So I say bring it on. I want to build a snowman. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 2.

QUESTION: what are you reading in December? It's the first day of advent which means we've only got 1 month left of 2019. Time to get on with reading those books we want to get finished this year. I like to try and read Christmas related books at this time of year. I say try because it never normally works. I'm not good at sticking to TBR lists. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 1. #tbr 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books #christmas #christmasreads

QUESTION: How was your reading this month? I had a very busy morning so am super late posting this. But I've got my round up for November.

QUESTION: What are you hoping is in your Christmas stocking this year? I recently stumbled across a series of jigsaws based on Penguin Deluxe book cover designs. It included the gorgeous design on this copy of the Wizard of Oz. My personal favourite? The panoramic Sherlock Holmes. Hours of puzzle fun. 📚 #bookreadhappyhour - day 29 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #booklover #read #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #instabook #bookaddict #igreads #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature #instabooks #reader #booklove #cosyreads #hygge #bookreviews #bookreview #raw_flatlay #raw_books
