becca dying is sooooooooo dumb story wise like she actively made billy feel like an actual human person instead of kripke's latest toxic masculity fantasy and she was competent and smart and felt like a Real Character instead of just the idealized love interest and could have contributed to the group while bringing in so many fresh new dynamics but noooooo god forbid any girlfriends are left alive in the kripkeverse

god yeah i agree so hard. i loved becca and i really like shantel as an actress. and i think she would have brought soooo much to the group. like she, kimiko and annie bonding for one thing would’ve been very refreshing to see??? her dynamic with billy was interesting and i really wanted to see how they truly operated as a couple. especially with the ryan factor now existing between them. 

and also like speaking of ryan, i think that rebecca’s story and the horrific shit that happened to her, never got to be fully addressed by her? and i will forever hate that. becca’s trauma is told solely through billy’s pov and ofc it is cause it’s kripke but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. 

i mean i really enjoy the show but the becca situation and how much it echoes the fridgings of jessica and mary will never sit right with me.

#BlogTour Miss Marley by Vanessa Lafaye with Rebecca Mascull

#BlogTour Miss Marley by Vanessa Lafaye with Rebecca Mascull

Today it really is a pleasure to take part in the BlogTour Miss Marley by Vanessa Lafaye with Rebecca Mascull. The historical novelist Vanessa Lafaye died this year at the end of February aged 54. A week after her latest book deal with HarperCollins was announced she succumbed to her battle with cancer. Miss Marley features Ebenezer Scrooge’s ghostly business partner, Jacob Marley, and his…

  This week has been a quiet one for the most part with nothing major to write about so I’ll get straight on to my reading and blogging news…

  This week I’ve finished reading five books:

Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton

I loved this book – it’s one of those novels that grabs you on the first page and then the pace doesn’t really let up throughout. I’m thinking that I might try and review this one soon.

Block 46 by Johana Gustawsson

This book is incredible. It’s so powerful and brutal but compelling at the same time. I reviewed this for the blog tour this week so you can read my thoughts on it here if you’d like to.

My Dear I Wanted to Tell You by Louisa Young

I’ve had this book on my TBR for five years and finally picked it up this week. I’m annoyed at myself for not reading it sooner as I very much enjoyed it. So much so that I immediately picked up the second book in the trilogy…

The Heroes’ Welcome by Louisa Young

This is the second book in the above trilogy and has also been on my TBR for a while so I was really pleased that I enjoyed the first book and could get straight on with this one. The third book is now awaiting me on my TBR and I’m looking forward to reading that soon.

The Elephant in the Room by Jon Ronson

This is a very short book (52 pages) all about the run-up to the 2016 American presidential election and is very interesting. It predominantly looks at some of the men involved in the Trump campaign and how much influence they may have had.

    This week I’ve blogged six times:

Sunday: Weekly Wrap-Up

                Review of The Wild Air by Rebecca Mascull for the blog tour

Monday: April Wrap-Up

Wednesday: WWW Wednesday

                        Review of Block 46 by Johana Gustawsson for the blog tour

Saturday: Stacking the Shelves

  This is what I’m currently reading:

  Fairytale Interrupted by RoseMarie Terenzio

I can’t even remember when I got this book but it was on my TBR and I spotted it when sorting my kindle this week. I picked it up and was intrigued enough to keep reading. It’s a book about John F. Kennedy Jr by his PA. I’m about a quarter of the way through it at the moment and so far it’s predominantly about setting up the magazine George and is really interesting.

The Way Back Home by Freya North

This is another book that I noticed when sorting my Kindle out and decided to make it my next read. I’ve read 10% of it so far and am struggling to get into it but I’ve always enjoyed Freya North’s books so am going to give it a bit longer to see if it grabs me.

Fragile Lives by Stephen Westaby

I was sent this for review a couple of months ago and finally got to pick it up this week. It’s a hard read because of the subject matter but it’s fascinating and I’m looking forward to reading more.

The Comfort of Others by Kay Langdale

This book is so beautiful and I hope to be able to read more of this week. I’m really enjoying it but am struggling to read the faint print at the moment. I’m considering buying the ebook book, or the audio book if there is one, so I can find out what happens.

How to Survive a Plague by David France

I read another couple of chapters of this book this week and am really engrossed in it. It’s a very powerful book and one I highly recommend.

Update on my TBR:

TBR at the start of January 2017: 1885 (see my State of the TBR post)

TBR in last week’s Wrap-Up: 1933

Additions:

Books bought/received for review/gifts: 12

Subtractions:

Books read this week: 5

Books I’m currently reading: 5

TBR Books culled this week: 1

Total:

TBR now stands at: 1934

I’m really pleased that I’ve very nearly broken even with my TBR this week! Obviously it’d be better if I was reading more books than I was acquiring but keeping my TBR steady is better than the numbers going up and up!

    I’m linking this post up to Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer’s Sunday Blog Share.  It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. It’s open for anyone to join in and is a great way to share what you’ve been reading! All you have to do is answer three questions and share a link to your blog in the comments section of Sam’s blog.

The three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

A similar meme is run by Lipsyy Lost and Found where bloggers share This Week in Books #TWiB.

What I’m reading now:

My Dear I Wanted to Tell You by Louisa Young

I’ve had this book on my TBR since 2012 so I thought it was about time I finally picked it up. I’m really enjoying it and wishing I’d picked it up sooner!

Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton

I’m still very much enjoying this book but haven’t managed much reading from a screen, even my kindle, this week as my eyes have been really sore. I hope to get back to this very soon though as it’s such a great read.

The Comfort of Others by Kay Langdale

This book has also fallen by the wayside a bit this week due to my fall last weekend as I’ve been struggling to hold print books even more than normal. I really hope I can get back to this soon as it’s a beautiful novel.

How to Survive a Plague by David France

I’ve read a bit more of this book this week and am still finding it such a powerful read. I really hope to have time to read a big chunk of it soon as I think it is a book to really make time for.

What I recently finished reading:

Block 46 by Johana Gustawsson

This book is one that will stay with me. It’s such a harrowing read at times and yet one that you can’t stop thinking about when you’re not reading it. I’m actually on the blog tour for this today so you can read my review here if you’d like to.

The Wild Air by Rebecca Mascull

This book is wonderful – I enjoyed every single second of reading it and highly recommend you pick it up soon. I reviewed this for the blog tour this week so you can read that here if you want to know more.

Foxlowe by Eleanor Wasserberg

I’ve had this on my TBR for a little while now so when I spotted it was available on my audio subscription service I decided to listen to it. I really enjoy it and listened to it in just two sittings.

The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald

This book is brilliant, I can’t believe I’d not read it before now because once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. There was so much in this short novel that I already feel like I want to read it again! I highly recommend this if you’ve not read it before.

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman

This is another novel that I listened to over the last week. I’m not sure what I was excepting this to be about but it turned out to be something different – I still really enjoyed it though. It’s a YA novel but it’s done really well and I now want to listen or read the author’s first novel.

Titanic Lives by Richard Davenport-Hines

I found this audio book very interesting. I already knew quite a lot about the people involved with Titanic but there were things I didn’t know that I learnt from this book, which were fascinating. I recommend this if you’re interested in Titanic.

What I plan on reading next:

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

I had this on pre-order and it arrived on my Kindle yesterday. I was so keen to start reading it immediately but need to finish one of my current reads first – hopefully I can start it today or tomorrow though!

  What are you reading at the moment? Have you finished any good books recently? Any books you’re looking forward to reading soon? Please feel free to join in with this meme and share your link below, or if you don’t have a blog please share in the comments below.

THE WILD AIR is coming...

I’m delighted to reveal the stunning hardback cover for my 3rd novel, THE WILD AIR, published by Hodder & Stoughton on April 6th 2017.

THE WILD AIR tells the story of Della Dobbs, who has a burning ambition to fly aeroplanes. She battles against Edwardian society to realise her dream, until the Great War comes and threatens everything - and everyone - she loves.

It’s available to pre-order from all good book shops, as well as on Amazon, Waterstones and Hive.

In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of other real-life Edwardian aviatrixes, all of whom play cameos in the novel:

Melli Beese, the first German woman to earn her pilot’s licence, with her marvellous determination writ large across her features.

The Belgian aviatrix Helene Dutrieu, a bicycle racer before she took brilliantly to flying.

Hilda Hewlett, the first British woman to gain her pilot’s licence, who also became a highly successful aeroplane manufacturer and businesswoman.

The Edwardian period was also home to the beautiful designs of Art Nouveau, which can be seen in these gorgeous aviation posters of the period:

So, join Della Dobbs in her aspiration to take to the skies above Edwardian England and the war-torn France of the Western Front, in her dance with THE WILD AIR.
