I want to start this weeks book update with a vey big Thank You. Thank you to all of you who have shared my posts and commented. Apologies for not being around much, family member suffered a massive stroke, he is only 58 and as you can imagine it was a huge shock. Quick thinking and the incredible NHS definitely saved his life. At one point he was only given a 25% chance of survival. There is a long road ahead for him and one that he will be supported in from family and friends.
As you can imagine a slightly quieter reading week, but I did manage to finish one book and read another two.

I finished reading This Fragile Earth by Susannah Wise. A dystopian set in the not too distant future in a society reliant on machinery. When the machinery stops, the realisation sinks in. What to do, why has it stopped and is a very thought-provoking read. Interesting and atmospheric with some sciencey stuff. I enjoyed this one and look forward to sharing my review later this week.

WOW! What a cracking book A Cut For A Cut by Carol Wyer is. This is the second in this series and I would suggest that you do need to read the first book, it gives a much better idea of Kate and what is going on with her personal life. The case is brutal, the pressure to solve it is great and the behind the scenes games are annoying. I adored this gritty and incredibly addictive story and my review will be out at the end of the month.

The Viking Chief’s Marriage Alliance is an addictive debut by Lucy Morris. This is a relatively quick read and one that I enjoyed, there is a storyline that is intriguing, an era of arranged marriages, of politics and of course a good strong romantic thread. It is due to be published this week and I really enjoyed this one.
There we go, another week finished,
I wish you all the best for next week

So sorry to hear your news Yvonne. I hope the road to recovery is swift. My father-in-law had a massive stroke at 54. Never regained his speech but still traveled the world independently over the next 20+ years! Take care x
