I do enjoy looking back at all the books I’ve read over the year and see how many boxes I can cross off on reading bingo. With not far short of 150 books read this year, you’d think that it would be easy to find a book for all 25 squares wouldn’t you? But no, … More Reading Bingo 2020 – not quite a full house!
I hadn’t really intended to share another review of a Christmas book but this one really could be enjoyed at any time of the year so I thought I’d just give you a quick mini review. It’s one from Karen Swan’s back catalogue (from 2014) and I’ve always enjoyed her books before so was pleased … More Christmas in the Snow by Karen Swan #minireview #bookreview @panmacmillan

Here’s my selection of Top Reads covering the final months of the year and including a few festive titles. I know there are a few days left of this year but … More My Top Reads of 2020 – October to December
Just time to sneak in one last review of a Christmas book! I have to say that My Christmas Number One is very different from any other festive romance I’ve read and although it took me a while to settle into it, it is indeed as many people are saying a most uplifting read. As … More My Christmas Number One by Leonie Mack #bookreview @leoniemauthor @boldwoodbooks #BoldwoodBloggers
Today I’m sharing my favourites books from July to September, a few months when for a while it seemed like life was getting back to something near normal. Obviously any big holiday plans were on hold but we did manage a couple of short breaks in the Highlands and Perthshire. Naturally, I had plenty of … More My Top Reads 2020 – July to September
If you are a regular reader of the blog, you may be thinking this doesn’t look like the kind of book I usually read and you’d be right. When Portobello author Brian Pendreigh got in touch to ask if I’d be interested in reading his novel The Man in the Seventh Row I was very … More The Man in the Seventh Row by @BrianPendreigh #bookreview
Sometimes at this time of year it can be difficult to fit in time for reading a full length novel. If this is you, then this book which has six short stories in could be perfect. Isn’t that just a gorgeous cover? I’d love to be walking in the snow in that scene, so romantic. … More A Diamond from Tiffany’s and other stories by Melissa Hill @SimonSchusterUK
I have seen this a few times recently and was inspired to take part after reading the post by Cathy at 746 Books. You can read that post here: 746 Books. It looked like good fun so I decided I would do it too!The idea is that you have a look at the books you … More My Year in Books 2020
April to June 2020 is a time when many of us went nowhere – except perhaps to our doorsteps on a Thursday evening to clap for keyworkers. I think we all started to realise just how important some people in our society are. Not just the wonderful NHS and frontline staff but supermarket workers, delivery … More My Top Reads of 2020 – April to June
I absolutely loved Jules Wake’s Christmas books Covent Garden in the Snow, Notting Hill in the Snow and from Paris with Love this Christmas so I must admit to being just a teensy bit disappointed that there wasn’t to be a Christmas book this year. Having read The Spark though, I am prepared to forgive … More The Spark by Jules Wake #bookreview @JulesWake @rararesources @0neMoreChapter_
