Apparently I was a reading swot during June. I read a whopping 13 books – which I think is my record since I started these reading blogs! It was difficult to whittle it down, but here are my faves… I was giddy to be invited to the launch party for Twice Hexed by Julia Tuffs,Continue reading “June reads”

May reads
May had it all – adventures in space, scheming fairies, and love stories galore! Here are my faves… Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell cemented my view that I really do love things set way in the future and in a galaxy far, far away. This setting gives authors the freedom to change facets of societyContinue reading “May reads”
April reads
April has been a lush reading month, and not just because I have FOUR favourites to chat about. I’ve been taking full advantage of the slightly warmer weather with some quality outdoor reading time. Is there anything better than reading in the sunshine while birds holler around you? But onto my faves… I hesitate toContinue reading “April reads”
March reads
March was a splendid reading month – a mix between fun rom-coms, magical adventures, and even a bit of non-fiction! These were my highlights… A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske is my first five star read of the year. It is PHENOMENAL. Beautifully written and wonderfully crafted, I had to force myself to slow downContinue reading “March reads”
February reads
I delved deep into romances during February, and came away with ONE clear favourite… The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is such good fun. The main character is a female scientist – intelligent, passionate, and career focussed – and the romance element is so well spun out. I have read a few too many rom-comsContinue reading “February reads”
January reads
A slightly slow start to 2022, but a good start. I have three favourites to shout about… Talk Bookish To Me by Kate Bromley was pure fun from start to finish. It’s a great read for any writers out there who want to feel seen – there is so much procrastination and struggling with deadlines!Continue reading “January reads”
December reads
A grand reading month in December helped me finish the year on a high AND I completed my challenge of reading 100 books – I actually read 101! There were two clear favourites this month… Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade was just as fun, fat, and (struggling for a third F word) feisty (?!) asContinue reading “December reads”
2021 favourites
My top reads of the year I had such a great reading year in 2021 that I really struggled to whittle my favourites down to just 12 books. I discovered wonderful new authors and returned to some old, comfortable reads. Choose any of these to add to your TBR and you are in for suchContinue reading “2021 favourites”
November reads
I am overly giddy to report that I am currently on-target to complete my challenge of reading 100 books in 2021! And there were some great stories that helped me edge ever closer in November… The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan is the perfect read for a cold afternoon spent beside a blazing fire. It’sContinue reading “November reads”
October reads
I read so SO many good books this month! I feel like I’m back in the groove of reading, and if you need some help here are some great stories to throw yourself into… Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty is fantastic. If you liked her other books, you’ll love this. She takes all theContinue reading “October reads”
