Keeping watching for the good stuff
This week’s learning point, readers, was to stick to my high standards. Just in case you were wondering, I’ve never had a problem with putting books down if I’m not enjoying them. I’m actually amazed that there are people who … Continue reading

Being short’s a good thing, right?
Well, this week was another gorgeous reading week. I went straight from Sea and Sand to another new release, The Reprisal, by Kelly St Clare. This is the finale in her The After trilogy, and I’ve been waiting impatiently since … Continue reading

Breaking my Audiobook duck!
Another first for me this week, as I finished “reading” my very first audiobook. It has been a fascinating experiment and insight into my psyche! I wouldn’t ordinarily pick to consume a book via audio, but this was offered to … Continue reading

November means nano
Another tricky week, this week, readers. The Shattered Worlds Read Along finishes today with Miranda Hardy’s Death Knocks, except that I’d already read that, having got myself a bit out of order (it’s fabulous, btw). So there wasn’t a book … Continue reading

Shattered Worlds Challenge: Curse Breaker
My blog is late this week, because I only finished Curse Breaker last night (not a slow reader, I’ve been taken up with lots of non-fiction reading this week, all about marketing, social media and advertising, yawn). Curse Breaker is … Continue reading
