Guess who finally had the time to finish this whop

Guess who finally had the time to finish this whopper of a thriller? It's difficult to believe that Rattle by Fiona Cummins is her first novel. I wanted to read it after enjoying one of her more recent novels, The Neighbour. Rattle is beyond creepy and it makes the hairs on your neck stand up at times. The novel is about a man who comes from a long line of bone collectors. Creepy family business, if you ask me. But THIS man is obsessed with children suffering from bone deformaties. He kidnaps them with the intent to kill and skin them, to display their deformed bones in his own private bone museum, for him to marvel and admire. Follow the pain and anguish of Jakey and Clara as they try to survive in captivatity, their hopeful, crumbling families as they vanish and the inner turmoil of detective Etta Fitzroy as she struggles with coming to terms with her own tragedy whilst searching for the missing children. Cummins strikes a perfect balance between the seemingly mundane, ordinary lives lived by the families in an everyday London suburb and the creepy, sinister and danger that lurks. The reader gets a holistic view as the story unfolds as its told from various perspectives - the families, the children, the Bone Collector and detective Fitzroy. Rattle is a fantastic thriller that keeps your attention from start to finish. I'm sure you can pick it up from @bargainbookssa or any good local book store. #bookreviews #thrillerreads #panmacmillan #giftedbooks #thebonecollector

AD. I got a couple of @dermastine products delivered the other day and I'm super excited to see if it a) will help fade some of my fine lines and b) is compatible with my super sensitive skin. I'm excited to see the results in a couple of months. Fingers crossed that my skin will revert back to what it looked like in my early 30s. Have you ever used their products? If you have, let me know what you think. Check out their Instagram to learn more. #Dermastine #skincare #skinjourney #sensitiveskins

Book mail is my favourite mail! I can't wait to finish the excellent book I'm busy with to get stuck into these titles. And summer is basically here, which is probably my favourite reading season. My options of where to read just shoot up - next to the pool, in the pool, outside on the patio, on the couch with a cool breeze wafting in...the list goes on and on. In the book box today: 📙 An Almost Perfect Holiday by Lucy Diamond
📘 The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister

Reminiscing of days when we were free, living our best lives under the African sun. How quickly things changed. I have no doubt that humans are capable of adapting and thriving...I mean, we've been doing it literally forever. It will take time, but we'll find new ways to feel free once again. #reminiscingmemories #memories😍 #beforerona #bestlife #carefreedays☀️

This year's birthday was a lot. At first I wasn't

This year's birthday was a lot. At first I wasn't interested to even acknowledge the day, especially with the events that happened the week before. I just didn't feel like celebrating. ⁠
⁠
Adding to it, the world changed so much in the last 6 months, that it feels like years have passed us by. It feels like the whole world is in mourning for a way of life we'll possibly never know again. Our lives are on pause, searching for a way forward. ⁠
⁠
We've had to push out plans, work, trips and hardest of all, not spending time with family or seeing friends. ⁠
⁠
But, my birthday turned out great, in its own, weird way. I felt incredibly loved and reminded of how many amazing people I have in my life. The pandemic showed us what is truly important, and it's not things. I find that people have become more genuine and there's more depth to conversations. It's as if people take life more seriously. ⁠
⁠
Just some of the things that this time taught me:⁠
- We don't need much, having enough should be our goal⁠
- Family is irreplaceable and should be treasured⁠
- Tell your loved ones that you love them...often ⁠
- Humans are resilient and can adapt to most things⁠
- I am incredibly fortunate to be able to cocoon and still work from home⁠
⁠
Here's to my final year in my 30s! May it be one of adventure, learning and growth. ⁠
