Hello everyone and welcome to the start of a new week! Here’s a book haul (part one 😂) of books I bought the last time I met up with bestie @keeperofpages Haunted Houses had me at the cover. This tells the story of three different girls’ transition to womanhood. “Tillman presents three very contemporary lives in uncanny, disturbing and sometimes shocking terms.” A Helping Hand also had a must-read synopsis. It follows a couple who look on themselves as Good Samaritans and enjoy helping lonely elderly ladies. “Beneath the suburban net-curtained world of genteel respectability however lurks the much darker and chilling terror of greed and exploitation - deadly currents that are masked by polite conversation and cups of tea.” Pleasantview looks to be a powerful read! Told in a mixture of English and Trinidad Creole, it reveals the dark side of the Caribbean dream. It’s a novel-in-stories about a society where “poverty and patriarchy savagely rule, and where love and revenge often go hand in hand.” Then there’s Waiting For Ted. By the time I got round to this haul, I’ve already read it! 😂 This book is really fantastic and one of my favourites of last year. Check out my review on the grid. Finally, The Bleeding which has the most gorgeous sprayed edges. I’m already a fan of the author so can’t wait to try “the first in a startling new series - a dark, horrifying, powerful historical thriller with an extraordinary mystery at its heart and three women pushed so far beyond breaking point, they face only one way out…” I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Have I tempted you? 😏 Have a great week everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhauling #hauntedhouses #lynnetillman #ahelpinghand #celiadale #pleasantview #celestemohammed #waitingforted #mariekebigg #thebleeding #johanagustawsson #morebooksplease📚 #ineededthesebooks #neverstopbuyingbooks #insatiablebookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLTSzHLc1q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
