Meant to have half an hour reading at 9pm around halfway through Book 20, The Island by Victoria Hislop, but suddenly it’s half past midnight and I couldn’t put the book down! One of my favourites so far! #Lancs50books plus gratuitous cat

And Book 19 #lancs50books was All About Mia by @lisa_letters - it's been a while since I truly couldn't put a book down, and this was one of them, a really good read!

Book 18 #lancs50books been on a @BorrowBox non-fiction kick recently, this one was an interesting read about conspiracy theories ranging from Elvis isn't dead to lizard people, flat earth, aliens and weaponized dolphins! 😂
