I'm currently very sick but will get and start the book as soon as I feel a little better :)

Hope you feel better soon :)

Thank you 😊

Sorry to hear you are poorly Fiona! I do hope you are feeling better? I won't be reading this months pic unfortunately. My library does not have a copy and Amazon want £17.54!!

Thanks, Anna! I don’t have any fever anymore but I lost my sense of taste and smell and that is just awful. I don’t enjoy anything right now. I cut up a whole chili into my lunch today, just so I feel anything in my mouth lol

That price is really horrendous. I used my audible credit for it so it was not so bad for me.

Should mention that I have Covid haha

I have it for the first time right now

Oh no Fiona! I had Covid once when I returned from a business trip to Italy - I think last year or the year before. Anyway, I was lucky not to lose my sense of smell or taste. I just had a god awful cough and aches etc.

I'm not an audible user as I very rarely listen to books. My attention span for listening isn't great!!

Hoping you feel better really really soon lovely xx

Thank you :)

I literally never go out of the house (except for work or groceries) and I think that is how I managed to not get it for so long. Last weekend, my sister and her boyfriend visited me and we were outside roaming through the city for three days. Weirdly, my sister's boyfriend is positive too but she is not.

Started now and I'm pretty intrigued so far!

I had a lot of trouble with some meds I had to take, that's why I wasn't able to do anything on Goodreads the past few days. I only got to chapter 4 so far but since it has been so long, I will start again and then will finally give my thoughts!
