Today’s book review on the blog complements Saturday’s A-Z of Crime Fiction (M for Maigret) for once! It’s the first Maigret book. I have to say I really loved the character and his idiosyncrasies but I had no idea what was going on! A friend read it after me and agreed! That said it doesn’t put me off at all, I’d definitely read more. Great vintage crime fiction. #wishvintagereads
On today’s blog I share my Oslo highlights with you. To read the blog click the link on my bio page. I know it’s a pain and easier to swipe up on the bigger pages but I don’t get that facility sadly. So it means the world to me when I see people have read my blog through Instagram. I know what an effort it is to get there. #wishvintagetravels
I’ve been doing a crime series on the blog for a while now, an A-Z of vintage crime fiction. This week I’ve reached M. I’ve really enjoyed doing it. It’s funny how you become the happiest audience of your own blog! I’ve enjoyed finding new authors and learning a bit about their lives. And you can’t beat reading a bit of vintage crime fiction! #wishvintagereads
There’s a bonus book review on the blog this week. This is a spooky read so I had to fit it in before the end of the month. This is declared at the start as a homage to Rosemary’s Baby which incidentally I watched last night whilst home alone. Good decision...link to get straight to blog is in bio. Discussion point is imitation vs inspiration. #wishvintagereads
Today’s Wednesday book review on the blog is Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier. I’d spent years having only read Rebecca and not bothering with the others because surely you’ve only got one amazing book in you? Turns out I was wrong. So far, two amazing books! #wishvintagereads
I’ve done a post on the blog today about the highlights of Bergen following my recent Scandinavian train adventure. It’s a great town and well worth considering as a weekend break destination! Click on the link on my bio page to take you there... #wishvintagetravels
Its bookshop day today, where is your bookshop of choice? #wordonthewater
On today’s blog I share my top 10 spooky reads for October. Let me know your favourite!!!!
In today’s blog I share my experience of having my Instagram account hacked, how I got it back and my suggestions for trying to avoid it happening to you!
