88432 Finished for Blue 2 The Ghost Ship (The Burning Chambers, #3) by Kate Mosse .

Karen, Kate Mosse is such an amazing storyteller. It's another riveting instalment of this series. I thought it was a trilogy, but no way can that be the last book, it ends with a big tease of more to come.

88432 My next read is also a blue and fits Blue 2 or 3 The Ghost Ship (The Burning Chambers, #3) by Kate Mosse . Looking forward to reading this one, enjoying the series.

Syd - Dubai 14 hours 20 minutes

That's why I gotta do this travelling before I get too decrepit to handle the flying.

88432 You'll have to try The Tea Cosy, Karen. It's very quaint with teapots and knitting on the tables. It's not super high tea but more homey with home made jams, freshly made scones and yummy sandwiches. More relaxed and not so expensive as some of the high teas at the Sydney hotels.

I've got the book of Troubled Blood to read during Uno. Pity we don't get page points!

88432 Good work Team.

I've got cousins in town so tomorrow we are going to The Tea Cosy in the Rocks (Its the historic part of Sydney when it was a penal colony) for afternoon tea (have you been there Karen?) It's a favourite in our family.

TV wise just finished watching Troubled Blood.. I love the series and the Books (Cormoran Strike by Robert Galbraith aka J K Rowling) . But I think the TV Strike played by Tom Burke is way more good looking than the book Strike.. but not complaining.. Also Australian Survivor another favourite, love the twists and turns. My daughter has also recommended Boy Swallows Universe so I'll have to get to it soon.

Keely, I've been watching the weather in Norway. It looked epic, hope everyone was safe and it calms down a bit for our trip in Norway. And hoping the Northern Lights will hang around for a bit.

Mine will keep. :)"


Thanks Mel. It is only 187 pages so I'll probably finish it quickly. I've had it on the TBR since I went to Wales and visited Pembroke Castle last year and thought ah, I've got a book that fits the Middle Ages...
