Books&tea30 (Durham)

I enjoy all types of genres and will read any recommendations given. I’ve read all my life but recently very much got back into reading. I’m looking to read some good books but also the social aspect of a book club, leaving the house, social interaction and potentially making friends (which is very hard to do at the age of 30!) rather than sit with a hot drink, a book and my dog or boyfriend to unload my thoughts and feelings of the book onto.

Books&tea30 recommends:

Powerless by Lauren Roberts
Powerless

The first fantasy book I ever read. Such an easy read. Romantacy. Such a good plot and a very good/ shocking plot twist at the end which had me itching to read the next books!

Perhaps my favourite historical fiction series of all time, it follows the life of Uhtred of Bebbanburg (modern day Bamburgh) and his quest to recover his lost birthright. Every time I read these books I get lost in the world of 10th century England
