Hello everyone and hope you’re doing well, halfway through the week! Today I’m catching you up on what I’m #currentlyreading and it seems I’ve broken my own record - 18 books 🤣 I’m doing better than last time I posted my list with Kingdom Of Asg, I’m 700 pages through, the end is not quite in sight but is round the corner 😅 I’ve also torn through #farfromthemaddingcrowd over the last week and am 50 pages from the end. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for #sapiens which I have very much neglected recently - about halfway through. The end is also nigh for my buddy read with Mr B (not pictured) which we’ve read over an entire year #lightrainssometimesfall New books: After finishing Voyager, I have immediately popped #drumsofautumn the fourth book in the Outlander series on my pile. I’m also reading and loving #theperfectchild which was recommended by my sister @chrissireads My current re-read is #thewhitequeen in my quest to read the Philippa Gregory Tudor novels in order.

The Herd is a timely, intriguing and thought provoking novel that is absolutely perfect for a bookclub to unpick. It was a recent choice for the #bitcrackbookclub and led to some brilliant discussions, thoughts and feelings from all our readers. It does cover some potentially inflammatory or controversial topics but it was truly fascinating to talk about the events as a group, no matter what our personal views might be. ⁣ ⁣ This novel is mainly focused on two women, Elizabeth and Bryony who have become trusted friends despite the difference in their personalities, and are even godmothers to each others children. However, when a decision arises (due to a local measles outbreak), regarding whether to vaccinate your children or not, the two women find they are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. The difference in their opinion of this issue has life-changing consequences for their friendship, for their children and for their futures.⁣ ⁣ Vaccination is a very divisive subject, as we’ve all seen with the recent COVID pandemic and I can understand why people feel so passionately about it, whatever their personal stance is. Until I read this novel though, I couldn’t see past my own viewpoint. I haven’t changed my mind regarding my own beliefs but I really admired how Emily Edwards showed us both sides of the argument. Even though you may not agree with the other side personally, you mind understand why they feel so much fear. This was definitely the case for me. ⁣ ⁣ The Herd is such a well-considered and memorable read. It’s one of those stories that sticks in your mind long after you’ve finished and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey whilst I was reading it. ⁣ ⁣ Four solid stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⁣ #bookstagramuk #theherd #emilyedwards #thoughtprovokingreads #memorablereads #readingonmykindle #reviewingbooksonthegram #booksandplants🌵📖 #booksthatmakeyouthinkaboutlife #greatbookclubbook #booksforbookclubs #buddyreadswithfriends https://www.instagram.com/p/CpgD4sdrf4S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
