I'm reading great circle at the moment, and I'd definitely recommend the audiobook! It's really nice to get different narrators for the "then" timeline and the "now" timeline 😊
Really enjoyed this, such an eclectic stack for April, I hope you enjoy! My reading hasn’t gone so well in 2023 so far (I’ve managed three books) But on my TBR for April is a dystopian fiction ( my book club’s theme-I’m hoping we go for Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro) and The Dark Is Riding by Susan Cooper ❤ current reads are The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson (another book club pick and a reread of a childhood fave for me) and Taste by Stanley Tucci ❤
I had the opposite experience with Watchmaker of Filigree street, though it did produce a new favourite verb (Octopussed!) and there is a cute mechanical octopus in there! Definitely seems like a good month and for the vlog I'm guessing something linked to travel!
So excited for you to read The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, which is super brilliant. And I hope you get to Hamnet because that’s been on my tbr forever too.
I LOVE The Watchmaker of Filigree Street! Natasha Pulley is amazing. I had the absolute pleasure of attending a book event for her about 3 yrs ago (so think 🤔). She was so easy to listen too during the evening & extremely interesting. The Bedlam Stacks was also a great read. I haven’t gotten the new one yet, however The Kingdoms is next on my TBR.
@@kirstensbooknook6575 It was amazing! The panel consisted of Natasha Pulley (I’d only recently read The Watchmaker of Filigree Street at that point as It had been recommended to me by one of the ladies in my local independent bookshop). The other 2 authors were Beth Underdown and Laura Purcell. Amazing evening. After they’d finished talking, there was a chance to ask questions, then it was the book signings. As it was the first event I’d ever attended, I was completely unaware that you could also have your picture taken with them ( rookie mistake, lol ). Since then, I’ve been to a lot of these author events ( they’re organised by “Lindum Books” the bookstore, and they’re held in the auditorium at “The Collection”, a museum in Lincoln). Some of my favourites were Jasper Fforde & Markus Zusak. (Talk about fan girl! Honestly 😄). But truly, these events are the only things I actually voluntarily, choose to leave my house for, haha x
The game just had to be difficult in the end. Still, at least it was nice early on, and you got two of the three you wanted. If I remember right (it has been a while since I read it), Wild is a fairly quick read, so hopefully, it will be easy to work in with the others.
Always incredible when you can actually fit the books you want to read into your tbr!
I hope you enjoy The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. It's one of my favourite books of all time! 😍

I adore the game!
Aw thank you so much!
Love this game! I’ve also been putting off Hamnet for years so if you read it I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts 👀
I just read Hamnet last week it's a very easy read.
I adored both Hamnet and Great Circle. Hope you enjoy!
Such a fun way to pick your next books! Do you read them in the order of the questions?
Thanks so much! And no I don't, it's all just guidelines so I just get to them in whichever order I fancy.
Reeeeeally loved Great Circle last year so enjoy!
Wishing you the best of luck with your reading your amazing April tbr please stay safe and enjoy your reading love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤

Hamnet is one a lot of my friends really didn’t enjoy so… could you use it for a book someone hated? 😅😅 (I can’t comment as I haven’t read it yet!)
All of them are books about real events
All based on true stories. Travel?
