I was asking Davida from The Chocolate Lady's Book Review Blog for some ideas of memes I could join in with and she suggested I could join her twist on #ThrowbackThursday.
The gist of her Throwback Thursday is to highlight one of your previously published book reviews. I love this idea as it brings to people's minds wonderful books they might have forgotten or not even heard of.
For the Twists/Instructions for Throwback Thursday visit her here. I'm going to try and keep the same schedule she does, the Thursday before the first Saturday of every month, but you can link to her blog all month.
I'd love to know if you join in.
For my second #ThrowbackThursday post I scrolled back a few years to uncover this one, it was the cover that first drew me to this novel isn't it lovely?
This was such an interesting concept that I was immediately drawn to wanting to read The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner. A dual timeline novel, 1791 and the present day, these two stories are brought together when Caroline, our present-day character who once had dreams of being a historian and who has just found out her husband has cheated on her. Travelling on her own to London, she goes mudlarking (a term I'd never heard of before) and finds a small glass vial hidden in the mud of the Thames. This, in turn, leads her to investigate where it came from and in turn, uncover a 200-year-old mystery.
