@kirschmj @secret_bookblog Thank you so much - I’m delighted you enjoyed it! 🎪

"The Show Woman" @emmacowing thanks to @secret_bookblog This was about a Ladies Circus in Edwardian Scotland. It had some mystery, a lot of grit and fabulous characters. Completely different setting to anything I have read before. This is a very accomplished first novel.

@DKemeridou I’m reading The Show Woman by @emmacowing and vastly enjoying it. It’s the kind of book you force yourself to read slowly so it doesn’t end.

Can't sleep because my partner is snoring. 🫠 Tell me what you're currently reading and if you're enjoying it so far! 📚
