Oh yay! I read it years and years ago, whilst backpacking in Europe and I'm so excited to read it again. I think it's one of those books you can read again and again and get something different from it each time ! 🙏
Those prompts are gorgeous Emily! I think you will like Verity, it's my favourite of Coolen's books as has far more Gothic/thriller vibes, so a nice change of pace from summer romances. And one of the best twists I've ever read. I was dumbstruck!
Ooh I love the genre-hopping prompt - but can I pinch it to use as inspiration for upcoming fiction writes?! I'm kinda stuck on ideas for short stories yet so many of your prompts caught my eye!
Thank you! I’m thinking ahead to the fiction writing I’ll do in Q4, and I think I’ve just given so much of my soul to the writing for this quarter (she says, literally sobbing as I read the fiction piece I’ve put together this evening lol) that I just don’t have much space to think about what’ll come next. I saw your prompts and was like, oooh I could work with this. Will make sure to tag you if any end up in published pieces here!
Hey Emily! The Dubrovnik Book Club - Eva Glyn sounds good! I'm currently reading Blindness by José Saramago and Murder before evensong by Rev Richard Cole 😊 happy readings 📚📚
Hi Lara 👋 do you read both at the same time ? I can stretch to reading a non fiction and a fiction at the same time , but can't do more than one fiction ... My brain can't handle it 😅
Hi Emily! Usually I don't but the stories are so different that I cab handle them! Also blindness has no names for the characters, there is the wife, the man ecc so I surely won't make confusion with characters,🤣
I love reading a smattering of different kinds of books though I often gravitate toward biographies and books that give me a window into how people in other times and eras saw their lives. I’ve also been on a quest to read classic novels. Something fun I did this year was buy books wherever I travelled on something historic that happened in that space such as a pictorial on Emily Dickinson’s world after visiting her home earlier this year. This summer I’ve read Andrew Carnegie’s autobiography, a biography on Virginia Wolf as seen through her writings though I’d only recommend doing so after reading some of her works like “To the Lighthouse” and Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.
Monica that is such a great idea !!!! I may have to steal it too. I've also been gravitating towards some classics ... I've got a few lined up for the autumn ... Wuthering Heights, Picture of Dorian Gray and The Sea, The Sea (Iris Murdoch). Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! When you read it, I'd love to know what you think of Sense and Sensibility! It is one of my favourites 📚🙏
I just read Eat Pray Love for the first time this summer and I absolutely loved it! 🤗

Thank you Molly ! That makes me excited to start Verity !
I just started Fernen Cotton's book Scripted ... Really enjoying it so far.
Glad you liked the prompts ... I've had fun finding books to match them !!! 📚☺️🙏

Of course you can!!!! That's such an interesting idea ... You'll have to let me know how you get on ! 🙏✍️

Ha! That is handy then!!! Blindness looks so intriguing, I looked it up after you mentioned it.
Wonderful Emily, thank you! ✨📚
Thank you 😊 so glad you enjoyed! I do love writing these 📚
I do, and my pleasure to read and share a comment! ✨💖
