@SouthernRailUK No working machines and the office was closed with a temporary sign. There was one member of staff just sat on a bench telling us there were no tickets, quite abrupt and not helpful at all to be honest!

[Rebecca @rebeccasread]

@SouthernRailUK no ticket machines or ticket office in operation at Merstham today and staff giving false information about being able to pay on the train. Can you investigate?

#IfINeverMetYou by Mhairi McFarlane is a sweet, entertaining rom-com, which kept my company for a few hours in audiobook format.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

It's my stop on the @rararesources blog tour for #TheGameshow by @elraphael, the story of a gripping game show with high stakes and plenty of suspense.

@SeanChriscole @gmail This has just started happening to me today, are yours all still the same a few days on?

[Rebecca @rebeccasread]

It’s my stop on the @rararesources blog tour for #DaughterofGenoa, heart-warming, genuine story filled with kindness, friendship and love!

#RentalPersonWhoDoesNothing is an interesting read in parts, but it’s really just anecdotal stories of a man being rented out to do some pretty boring things.

Book: The Tenant
Author: Freida McFadden
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

My first McFadden novel, this is fast paced and entertaining but not all that realistic.

It's my stop on the #blogtour for "Salt & Honey" by Candi Miller. Big thanks to @rararesources for the invite!

A thought-provoking read set during apartheid in South Africa. The story is immersive, beautifully detailed and narrated.

#Headshot shines a light on the world of women’s boxing which I think is a great thing! Following 8 young girls throughout a tournament, this is an interesting read

☕ Book Review ☕
Book: The Pumpkin Spice Café
Author: Laurie Gilmore
Rating: ⭐⭐/5

#ThePumpkinSpiceCafé is a contemporary romance & I have to say, it was a little less comfy & cosy than I was expecting based on the cover & title...🙈

📖 Book Review 📖
Book: Back Trouble
Author: Clare Chambers

About to turn 40, Philip's business has failed, he’s newly single & at an all time low. It sounds a little gloomy & to be honest, it is at times, but it’s also an enjoyable read.

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

I loved #NormalPeople & #ConversationswithFriends but didn’t get on with #BeautifulWorldWhereAreYou so was unsure going into this. I needn’t have worried, because omg, I loved it!
