An incredibly Verity week – in reading and in life. I got a bit obsessed with the Sherry Thomas series and binged it instead of finishing some of the stuff I already had going, I went to a musical on the spur of the moment and I went to a concert to see a band I’ve loved for literal decades for the first time. I spent three nights away from home (two for work, one after that concert) and had a shocking time on the trains (the story of June on the commute) and binged a documentary series on Netflix. Standard stuff. And we’re halfway through the year now, so expect some half year review posts this month too.

Oopsie daisy, Words and Kisses is having a closing down sale and I went a bit nuts because: discounts. Six books there. And then another two paperbacks second hand. And then five ebooks too because I went nuts for Sherry Thomas. All the ebooks were in June though, so they’re already accounted for in the stats. The rest though…
Bonus photo: honestly, an embarrassment of riches on the photo front this week. I changed my mind twice, but here I am at the aforementioned concert – which was The Chicks on Sunday night – which was ah-May-zing. Truly brilliant.
