Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all. Hope this week is going well so far. Today I’m sharing three lovely new hardbacks that were just begging to be bought. The House Of Fortune is Jessie Burton’s follow up to The Miniaturist and I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read the first book yet but I’m so excited to be back in Amsterdam with Nella and her family again. Next up, the Booker prize shortlisted Small Things Like These which I have been hearing great things about everywhere! Set in an Irish town in 1985 this is the story of Bill Furlong whom in the run up to Christmas is approaching his busiest season as a coal and timber merchant. As he does the rounds, he feels his past coming up to meet him - and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church. Finally, The Temple House Vanishing. I can’t remember where I heard about the author Rachel Donohue on IG but I remember thinking she sounded like my kind of author! It’s described as a stunning, intensely atmospheric novel of unrequited longing, dark obsession and uneasy consequences. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these authors or novels. Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a lovely week everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhaul #newbooksplease #houseoffortune #jessieburton #bookseriesilove #clairekeegan #smallthingslikethese #bookershortlisted #irishfictionwriters #thetemplehousevanishing #racheldonohue #booksonmytbrlist #booksineedtogetto #booksimexcitedabout https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQt-ezrsZ6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I usually read only one book at a time but got myself into this #currentlyreading situation. I still need to finish up Grande Sertão which is slow reading, still working my way through Proust, and HAD to pick up Shuggie Bain on @dsweet _library 's recommendation (honestly Darryl you should be getting commission on these sales 😉). For the third year in a row I'm putting all my eggs in one basket and reading only one book off the Booker shortlist. From what I've read so far I think it has good chance to win. Have you read any of these? ~ #grandesertão #joãoguimarãesrosa #theguermantesway #proust #marcelproust #arememberanceofthingspast #insearchoflosttime #thedeviltopayinthebacklands #shuggiebain #douglasstuart #bookerprize #bookershortlist #bookerprize2020 (had trouble sharing IG posts for a while - catching up on old posts this into is from Nov 2020) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIOau1AE_0/?utm_medium=tumblr
