Good morning everyone and happy Monday. I thought I’d do a little reading update today.

Last – The Favourites by Layne Fargo & Hope Street by Mike Gayle

I’ve just finished The Favourites and I have mixed feelings about it. I thought it was interesting to learn more about competitive ice dancing but it was a little slow in places, particularly the end, so I found myself skipping pages to get to the end.

I’m on the blog tour for Hope Street tomorrow so I’ll be sharing my full review then but I really loved this one.

Currently Reading – The Romantic Tragedies Of A Drama King by Harry Trevaldwyn & The Queen Of Fives by Alex Hayes

I’m on the read-along for The Romantic Tragedies Of A Drama King and I’m really enjoying it so far. Patch is a hilarious main character who seems to have an interesting approach to life. I’m also starting The Queen Of Fives today which I’ve been hearing lots of great things about.

Next- The Artist by Lucy Steeds &
The Sirens by Emilia Hart

I’m then hoping to read these two books which I’m really looking forward to. I’ve been hearing lots of amazing things about The Artist and I was a huge fan of Emilia Hart’s previous book so I’m very intrigued to read this new one from her.

What are you currently reading?

Good morning everyone and happy Sunday. Here are some of the books I’m hoping to read this February. There’s no way I’m going to read all of these (unless I finally get super reading power) but as a huge mood reader I like to keep my options open.

I might be cheating slightly as I’m already reading Hope Street and Romantic Tragedies but as I’m still reading them in February so included them. I realised after I took the picture that I had forgotten a few books but I didn’t want to get all the other books out again.

I’m hoping to get back to walking more so I’ll hopefully listen to a few more audiobooks this month too.

I’m working today which is always fun and then I’m looking forward to a quiet evening reading after a hectic few days.

What are your Sunday plans?

Good morning everyone and happy Saturday. I was lucky enough to work at the Alice Feeney event at Rossiter Books last night.

Alice is one of my favourite thriller writers so I was incredibly excited to meet her. They say don’t meet your heroes but I’m so glad I did as she was so sweet and incredibly funny telling us lots of stories about her publishing journey so far. Her favourite book is Daisy Darker, same as me, which I loved finding out. I’d actually chosen Daisy Darker as our book club read this month and it was lovely to see so many of our bookclub there too.

As you can see the Indie Edition of Beautiful Ugly is really beautiful. I love the foiling and the beautiful spredges. I was lucky enough to get a proof of it and I absolutely loved it. You can read my review via the link below but it’s highly recommended by me! Huge thanks to the our lovely events organiser Carol and Kate from Pan Macmillan for organising and the lovely Alice Feeney for coming!

Who’s the last author you’ve met?
