Third (and last!) attempt at this one.

I’d tried this one a few months ago (on audio format) and my brain couldn’t focus. Second try lucky!! I’m so invested now that I wish I had more time for listening!!

Livro requisitado na biblioteca local.

Uma viagem à minha infância.
Estou a ler em voz alta e surpreendida (pela positiva!), estes livros estão bastante bem escritos!

Alvaro de Magalhães é um dos meus autores de literatura juvenil preferido. Por isso não podia deixar de tentar passar este amor às novas gerações quando descobri que também tem livros infantis.

Alice has just met Margaret (The Tabloid Princess) face to face for the first time and thinks "She's shrunk a few inches..." - how could she ever know that??

Let’s see if I can suspend my disbelief until the end of the book…

Listening to the audiobook - it was a shock (not negative!) to return to British accent in audiobooks!

Finished Book 2. There’s a bit of a cliffhanger both for Tengo and Aomame, but I need a quick break to read something lighter!

Finished Book 1 and it was so so so good!! But there is no closure, so after a short interlude I'll carry on with Book 2.

Here we go into the last audiobook of this series!!

Narrated by the author!

Since I discovered the concept of mudlarking in one of Sharon Bolton’s books I’ve been really curious about it (and even had a look on the Thames shore). So when I’ve found Lara Maiklem’s books in the topic, I’ve decided to give them a try!
This audiobook is read by the author (and that’s a plus!)

I need something that is not too challenging for my tired brain and this came recommended by a very reliable source!

A book about a children’s librarian? I am in!

It’s summer, it’s time for some light reading :P

I’ve hit a bit of a reading slump and need something light & easy!
“… the only professional advice I’m qualified to give about being eco-conscious is to support your local library” <3

3rd book in a series of 6. These have become my safe port for audio!

I hadn’t realised that this is a short stories book. Read the first and oh my, I’m completely caught by Claire’s storytelling but also caught her punch!

I really need to ready something light & entertaining!!

Parking this one for now, I’m not able to follow this as an audiobook…

Finally my turn arrived on Libby!

I love this series. But why, oh why, so they keep getting larger and larger? 32 hours of audiobook?

I don’t think I can stomach this book all in one go :(
