#DoingTheBusiness is not the #autobiography I was hoping for. Despite #CharlieKray having a credit as co-author, and his name being in the title, it's written in the third person, and the majority of the book is about Ron and Reg. The stories are interesting enough, but I haven't learnt anything new about Charlie or the twins, and there are definitely some better and more comprehensive biographies out there.
The next instalment of the Thursday Next series. The Well Of Lost Plots is probably my favourite so far. The highlights definitely include Wuthering Heights and Heathcliff, and I really enjoyed the humour. Although I did wonder why anyone would set a book in Reading.

I enjoyed Lily; the story is fast-paced and easy to read, and I love a bit of fiction set in Victorian London. But I did find it too sentimental, almost twee, and that began to grate in the end. I really wanted Lily to be a stronger character than she was.

The Iremongers are in search of a new home, the disease of Foulsham has spread into London, and Clod is coming into his powers... I am so glad I discovered this trilogy; it's wonderfully gothic and strange, and I've never read anything like it before.

Foulsham is whimsical and dark - much darker than Heap House - Binadit's first few chapters definitely scared me in the night.

This is definitely more my level. I loved Horrible Histories when I was growing up, and still have a couple of the books and all the magazines I collected. Even as an adult, it's engaging, informative, and I learned a lot. There were a couple of points where I wanted more information, but it's a history book for children and it's up to me to research what's missing.

Hellfire Club Thursday!
We have matching Hellfire tattoos, we went to Comic Con to see Joseph Quinn, and I totally accidently ruined the end of S4 for her 😂
