It’s one of my favourite things to discover a book that you just can’t put down. This is one of those. I am absolutely DEVOURING Lessons In Chemistry and loving every second of it.

Cosy blankets and great books and doggy snuggles and the last of the birthday gingerbread are what Sundays were made for. 🥰
