Wonderful festive afternoon with the fabulous @jennybean0711 @carina_lily @kmann_5 so happy with our finished wreaths! 😍 Loved the kit from @jaustindesigns xx https://t.co/TT0gZkuggz

Yeah Eric was a really fun character and I enjoyed their happy ending :) I have to admit I did roll my eyes a little when his US dragon’s den background was revealed 😄 #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Julia Malloch @JuliaMalloch]

@peacockharriet @leedslibraries I loved Eric too! Didn’t he & Jayne make such a great couple? I was on the edge of my seat though, worrying that he might turn out to be a con-man!!!! #LeedsReadsBookClub

I suspected Nancy’s situation she was running from was something to do with a guy in her old job. I couldn’t quite put my finger on her rental set up beyond it was just too goo to be true! #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Leeds Libraries @leedslibraries]

The Secrets of Primrose Square kept us turning the pages as we eagerly anticipated them being revealed! Did you guess any of the secrets? Did they surprise you? #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@JuliaMalloch Hahaha yes snap! 🙌 #leedsreadsbookclub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@leedslibraries Hi - enjoyed the book 👍 I think my favourite character was Jayne, just because she was so dependable for the others in the book. She seemed to always be there when needed but also found ways to keep her own spirits up in adversity.

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@JuliaMalloch Just the positive encouragement I needed :) - I’m going to get it now & put it in my diary as sad I missed last month’s read & chat #leedsreadsbookclub @leedslibraries

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@leedslibraries Thanks for hosting! What’s next?! 😀 #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@JuliaMalloch @leedslibraries Yes especially when he wasn’t exactly out of sight - he took a lot of risks with the smuggling items and bartering, challenging authority when he could #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@leedslibraries @Elizabethutch @HolocaustMuseum I thought it was helpful to put it in context with the information from the museum so thank you for sharing. I do think there’s a place for autobiographical depictions as well as historical, and I don’t feel that the inaccuracies found detracted from the book #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@leedslibraries I think it’s important how readable the book is - it’s not a misery tome despite the subject, it’s a survival tale of one group of people out of thousands but by narrowing in that way so many people have been able to connect and relate so easily to it #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@leedslibraries Yes really humbling to read his story of survival. To read a day to day depiction of life in Auschwitz really reminded me of how each person who was made to experience that was a tragedy we must never forgot #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@ALMillar Yes would definitely recommend picking it up still :) it’s not a long read #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@JuliaMalloch @HaytonEmma It was so gut wrenching when Duke had been such a positive influence on Nellie’s “new life” it seem things might get better! #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

Yes great point! Very unusual #LeedsReadsBookClub

[Harriet Wakinshaw @peacockharriet]

@leedslibraries I felt so sad for both of them how much the past was holding them back now. Although impact on yourself is one thing - Richard controlling behaviour wasn’t excusable. #LeedsReadsBookClub
