Travelling is all about views like this! 😍 #Poland

3. 10th Anniversary by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro.
Standard Women's murder club easy read, plot not as good as some previous installments.
3 stars.

Does anybody else seem to have a love/hate relationship with Booker prize winners? Sometimes they just try to be too intellectual. 💙📚

2. Orbital by Samantha Harvey.
Although this book was well written, the lack of plot and my inability to connect with the characters made this rather short read a struggle to complete.
2 stars.

It's a good one, definitely gives more depth to the posts we've all been following for the last couple of years. 🙂

1. Sophie from Romania by Rory Cellan-Jones.
A heartwarming tale about love and patience with a fearful rescue dog named Sophie. As a follower I knew the outline of the story but the book filled in so many blanks.
A lovely read - 4.5 stars.

A thread of books read in 2025! 📚🧵

Every year I wait for this and every year I cry. 🥰

A black, white and tan rescue puppy with a purple collar rests against her owner's legs. The book Sophie from Romania by Rory Cellan-Jones can also be seen resting on the owner's knees.

The best way to spend New Year's Day is curled up with your rescue pupper, reading one of the books you requested for Christmas about another rescue pupper. #sophiefromromania #dogsofbluesky 💙📚

A 2024 reading wrap!
Here's to more books for 2025. 💙📚

Fluffy grey dog bed with a grey blanket covered in paw prints inside and a sleepy puppy, whose head can just be seen coming out of the edge of the bed.

When you finally get a quiet day after all the Christmas festivities and you chose to use it to sleep all day whilst your humans work. #dogsofbluesky

Ban book bans!!

Ahhh all the reading wrap ups are being released but I still need to fit in just one more book to hit my 40 target.

They both got the same gorgeous colouring!

Our little menace who has literally woken up, realised it's Friday 13th and chosen to cause chaos all day. It's a good job she's cute. #DogsofBluesky

Green field with a deer just off centre facing to the right.

We're so lucky to live somewhere that we get to see so much nature on our doorstep. Glimpsed this beauty this morning walking the dog.

Spotify wrapped screenshot. Showing top artists: The 1975, Vance Joy, RHCP, Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift. Top Songs: All My Love, I'm with You, Stick Season, I'm in love with You and Can't stop. With minutes listed at 34,279.

Loving how much our Wedding playlist influenced this years #SpotifyWrapped and our first dance song made it to number 2. 🥰

I was so young. 😅😂 And followed it up with most of Andrew's other work. 😂

THIS! I probably read Flowers in the Attic and many other titles well before what would have been allowed by my parents but I wouldn't be the reader I am today if they'd have policed my reading material.

The puppy goes to daycare once a week as she loves it but she always comes home smelling different. Husband thinks I'm nuts, but does anyone also notice their dog smells different when they get them back from somewhere else? #DogsofBlueSky

Tonight is start a new book night. I've been aiming to read some of those books that have been haunting my TBR for a decade or more to finish off the year. Problem is I'm a mood reader and my mood says buy a new book to read. 😂 💙📚

I've always called that 'Mad Friday'. 😂

Bought the pup some yak cheese chews after hearing good things and she's been at it a good hour and a half non-stop. Safe to say it's been a hit. #DogsofBluesky

Picture of the cover of Sophie Kinsella's novel The Burnout. A dark haired ladies head peeks out from a pink duvet with pillows behind her on a teal background.

Whenever I need a light read Sophie Kinsella never fails to deliver. Enjoyable read and a worthy reminder that we all need a break sometimes. 💙📚

I'm hoping a nice warm coat is the key! Glad your pupper has got better with the weather.

Can't really blame them - I don't want to be out in the rain either. Xx

Black, white and tan puppy hides under a green bush to take shelter from the rain and wind caused by Storm Bert.

It's been an awfully long weekend with Storm Bert given that this little lady decided she would not walk or go potty in the rain. 🙈 As we live in the UK not going out in the rain isn't really an option. Hopefully she'll change her mind when her new coat arrives! #DogsofBluesky
