Your Easter Weekend reading…sorted.

Along with eating your entire body weight in Easter Eggs (not just us right?) we think the four-day weekend is the perfect excuse to get reading! Take a look at what Team Bookends will reading this weekend!

In between eating handfuls of mini eggs I’ll be delving into The Wildflowers by Harriet Evans. This is the perfect book to while away a long weekend – set in a glorious beach house in Dorset, meet the Wilde family, a glamorous, theatrical family full of secrets and tangled relationships.

With three nieces and nephews I’ll also be taking Stories for Boys Who Dare to be Different back home with me – I love reading with them and know that this will be perfect for reading to them after the excitement of an Easter Egg hunt!

I’m in the mood for a thriller – something with loads of tension and a really good mystery – so I’ll be curling up this long weekend with The Two Houses by Fran Cooper. This atmospheric read sees a couple move to a crumbling property whose central rooms were supposedly so haunted that a previous owner had them cut out from the building entirely. Packed full of buried secrets and domestic drama, this book provides the perfect excuse for some Easter weekend alone-time… and some Easter egg comfort-eating to get me through the nail-biting moments!

On a lighter note, this weekend I’ll also be reading The F Word, Lily Pebbles’ brilliant new celebration of female friendship. Filled with personal memories and invaluable advice for women and girls of all ages, this is a perfect book for dipping in and out of in amongst the chaos of cooking, outdoor activities and family fun that the Easter holidays are guaranteed to bring!

I can’t wait for this bank holiday when I can escape the daily grind to get stuck in to the new Sheila O’Flanagan – What Happened That Night. Gone-Girl-esque, it’s supposed to be gripping from start to finish – just what I need to distract me from eating too much chocolate! Nice pinch of romance in there which always adds to the twist for me.
