Please share with anyone you know that may find this useful. Today I was able to chat with an endo nurse for free and the information I received was really useful and supportive.

What is there to do in #Bradford when I visit? Obviously #eurovision exhibition is a must. Anything else?

Book 18 and my final book for #Eurovisionathon. I read this for Serbia & enjoyed it. Although my non-fiction travel books this year haven't been my favourites. Maybe I've overdone them. Didn't manage to finish my Denmark audiobook. Ah well!

Book 17 of #Eurovisionathon complete. This book has been on so many Eurovisionathon TBR's and now seemed like the time to finally read it. Got to say I was disappointed, I was bored most of the way through. I gave it 1βοΈ. This was for Sweden πΈπͺ

Book 16 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Unusual for me not to start at the beginning of the series but as I've seen the 1st 2 books adapted on TV, it seemed fine to start from this one. Flashbacks to Croatia in this one. I gave it 4βοΈ

Book 15 of #Eurovisionathon complete. As usual this wasn't on my original list for the readathon but I spent a while looking for an audiobook that I was in the mood for. Loved this and can't wait to read the next two. I gave it 5βοΈ

Book 14 of #Eurovisionathon complete. A little confusing because of the number of characters popping in and out of the story. Apparently it's a retelling of 'The Year of the Hare'. I read this for Finland and gave it 4βοΈ

Book 13 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Wow! Before making your mind up about refuge & asylum based on press stories, give this book a read. The stories of those arriving here & people providing aid are really eye-opening. Read for France π«π·, 5βοΈ

Book 12 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Safe to say I will not be reading any more Bill Bryson books. His objectifying of women in this book was just too much for me. But it's ticked Austria π¦πΉ off my list. I gave this 2βοΈ

Book 10 of #Eurovisionathon complete. This was a nice story but quite repetitive in parts. Sigrid is a Norwegian Forest cat and her owner has Norwegian heritage, so I used it for Norway π³π΄ I gave it 3βοΈ

Book 9 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Up to Chapter 8 I thought I was going to have to DNF this book. Glad I persisted as it got gradually better. I read this for Romania π·π΄ and gave it 3βοΈ.

Book 8 of #Eurovisionathon complete. I always find an unexpected gem during this readathon. The writing was excellent and knowing this was based on a true story made it even more shocking. I read this for Cyprus π¨πΎ and gave it 5βοΈ.

Book 7 of #Eurovisionathon complete. I enjoyed this one and it has made me maybe want to try reading some Homer. It was a nice easy read and helped me to tick Greece π¬π· off my list. I gave it 3βοΈ

Book 5 of #Eurovisionathon complete. This book has mixed reviews but I really enjoyed it. A last minute choice from my library. I had a different ending in mind though. I read this for Portugal π΅πΉ but it could also have been read for France. 4βοΈ
