*Bookmarks everything* So delighted to have your reccs while on mat leave again - the HighLow was a lifeline for me after my first born.

This makes me beyond happy!! Downloading and then scouring your insta stories for my next book rec is no more! I swear 80% of the many books I have read in the last few years have come directly from you! 🙌🙌

This is brilliant - so excited for more newsletters!! In case anybody else is interested, it looks like the spanish film is released as Lullaby in UK - it’s being shown at Glasgow film festival so hopefully available other places too!

So so so pleased you’ve done this. Everything you create is just golden, wish I could afford the paid sub but it’s not possible right now so hopefully in the future I can soak up more of your words. Looking forward to your next instalment! x

Devoured this, and eagerly awaiting the next! ✨ Thank you for the brilliant book recommendations! Diving into The Tales of The City Series - On audio would you recommend each book separately or will the original 18hr version include everything?

I doubt the 18hr recording will include all 9 books, maybe check the description? I haven't actually listened to any on audio book, so I can't advise - but if you're more of an audio book person, def give them a go! I bet they'll be a riot to listen to.

Thank you 🙏🏽 100% a real book person, but desperately trying to enjoy audio books for when I’m in the car, these look a great series to try! I found the answer in the review comments in the end - the 18hr is abridged, (a lot of confused angry comments going down over there 🙈😅) I was hoping to tie in on one credit, but alas, chose the individual books instead! Loving it so far, thanks for the recommendation! x
