In April, I read five novels. I didn't manage to get to any of my non-fiction pile but never mind! I'd had The Rosie Project, a Big Bang Theory-esque rom com, on my to- read shelf for ages so I'm glad I finally got to that. I also picked up two YA books - Eve… Continue reading 2019 books: April

2019 books: March
I read four novels and one non-fiction book in March. Conversations with Friends is my second Sally Rooney book - a story of relationships between two best friends and an older couple they become entangled with. I did prefer Normal People, her second book, as I connected with the characters in that more. Summer of… Continue reading 2019 books: March

February has gone by in a blur and as it's a shorter month, I read four books in total: More Than We Can Tell is a YA contemporary romance; The Hunting Party is a murder mystery set in an isolated Scottish lodge; and The Furies is a book about teenage girls out for revenge with… Continue reading 2019 books: February
Best Books read in 2018
Each month in 2018, I posted all the books I read and picked a favourite. So, I now have a list of my twelve most-loved books of the year. It's really interesting to see what I picked when they're all grouped together. It's a real mix as I love to read different genres and categories… Continue reading Best Books read in 2018

I can't believe how close we are to the end of the year! This month I made a start on festive books so I can read all the ones on my shelf before Christmas hopefully. I read four books this month - one was really long so almost counts as two I think. I wanted… Continue reading Books read in … November 2018

I read four books in October. I chose a couple of witch themed books for Halloween as it's always fun to do some seasonal reading. How To Hang A Witch is a creepy teen novel set in Salem with witches, ghosts and a love triangle. It was a fun read. The Rules Of Magic is… Continue reading Books read in … October 2018

Last month, I read four novels (and also got this fab mug!!): I read Our House because it was The Waterstones thriller of the month and there are lots of twists and turns, particularly a good shocking ending. The Miseducation Of Cameron Post had sat on my shelf for a long time but when I… Continue reading Books read in … September 2018
Five reasons why your book review is important
Most authors will at some point mention reviews to you. If they are on the ball, they will instantly ask you to write one if you tell them you loved their book. They might tweet asking for reviews or pop a note in the back of their book to ask. Whichever way they do it,… Continue reading Five reasons why your book review is important
Books read in … August 2018
This month I ended up reading a few murder mysteries as I fancied a change from women's fiction and YA. I had had some on my TBR shelf for a while so I thought it was about time I picked them up! I've been meaning to read more Agatha Christie so I read my first… Continue reading Books read in … August 2018

This month I only managed to read three books as one of them was so long! My first read was The Favourite Sister - a thriller set around a reality TV show where one of the participants is murdered. A great premise and I loved the author's debut but this one didn't end up grabbing… Continue reading Books read in … July 2018
