Another week done and dusted, I hope all of you #booklovers who went to Harrogate had a great time. I say this every year, and I will probably say it a few more times as well, but ” I will go one year!” 😉
The weather has finally cooled for the time being and I have to say I am enjoying the fresher cooler air. It also means I can spend a bit of time outside in the garden getting caught up on a few jobs and looking to see what has been growing.
The veg is doing really well at the moment, and the flowers are really starting to show their full blooms.





Now for the books I have read…

The Sanctuary by Andrew Hunter Murray – this is a story that surprised me, I didn’t expect it to take the route the author decided upon, but I am very glad he did. This is one for fans of crime, thriller and mystery novels and one I would happily recommend.

Bloody January by Alan Parks – I have already read some of the books in this series, but not the first or second ones. s I have been enjoying further books in this series, I did want to go back to where it started. While I do wish I had started this series from the beginning, I am also glad that I have read it in the wrong order. I know very convoluted, but it was great to have knowledge about what is to come. Definitely recommend this one.

The Last Thing To Burn by Will Dean – I know of this author from some of the Tuva Moodyson series, but this book is very, very different to that. This is a stand-alone story that is shocking, heartbreaking and so very addictive. Brilliant reading and one I would definitely recommend.
These three books will have their reviews published here on my blog in the next week or so. They are all part of the #20booksofsummer reading challenge.
The next book is for an upcoming Blog Tour.

Rough Diamonds by Gillian Godden – this is part of a series that just gets better and better. The Diamonds are a tough family, but after the death of a family member, things change. A gritty tough, gang-style thriller that is brilliant. Full review in a couple of weeks.
There we go, four books this week. I have also been watching Stranger Things on Netflix. Yes, I know many of you have been watching it but I never really fancied it. I decided to give the first series a go last week. I am now about to start series three! I can see why it is a favourite for many viewers.
Have a great week ahead,
Happy Reading

Many thanks for reading my post, a like or share would be amazing 🙂 xx
Love the bunting you put up. I assume to keep birds away from your veggies? Looks so much nicer than the aluminium foil hubby put up to protect his grapes 🤦🏼♀️😂.

Yes it’s to stop the birds. I’ve tried various things in the past and suddenly had the bunting idea, it also looks pretty 😁
