Happiness… that's what books smells like. Happiness. That's why I always wanted to have a book shop. What better life than to trade in happiness?

This morning's read is deliciously combined with coffee and my absolute favorite macaroons from @lefrenchdadboulangerie

Loved the final plot twist. I did see it coming, but fully enjoyed the reveal presented by the author. #TheLateMrCary by #MichaelCampeta is a fun and easy read, slow at the beginning but picks up the pace towards the end. I also found the dialogue between the characters a bit peculiar, as it lacked the natural flow. But it's easy to disregard taking into consideration the mystery part of the whole novel.

Diana's tragic story as a princess of Wells is well known. And the more I read about her, the more I begin to understand the person behind the title. Said that - I am always happy to get my hands on any additional material evolving #ThePeoplesPrincess

#JessicaPayne debut novel #MakeMeDisappear was definitely an interesting read. I had many mixed feelings during the read. Will admit, that the plot at times was overdramatic. Certain parts just didn't seem realistic. However, the pace of the novel was fast, and it moved from one scene to another one with lightning speed. And now, let's talk about the fiction bomb thrown at the very end of the novel. Although I've expected something similar to happen, the magnitude of the twist was simply marvelous.
