Good morning everyone and happy Monday. As it’s Monday and the start of a new week I thought I’d do a little reading update:
Last – The Perfect Golden Circle by Benjamin Myers
I’ve just finished reading The Perfect Golden Circle which I read for my first book club for Rossiter Books. I’m actually leading it which I’m excited about. I really enjoyed this one and I’m looking forward to discussing it tomorrow.
Now – In Memoriam by Alice Winn & Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
I’m currently reading In Memoriam as a buddy read with some of my book friends on Instagram. It’s very good so far and I can’t wait to read more. I’m also reading Fourth Wing which is also a fabulous read and living up to the hype so far.
Next: Square Of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson
I’m then hoping to read Square Of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson. I’ve loved all her previous books so I’m excited to read this one!
Good morning everyone. These are some of the fabulous books I’ve bought or received this week.
⭐ After Anne by Logan Steiner ⭐ The Turnglass by Gareth Rubin ⭐ The Tortoise And The Hare by Elizabeth Jenkins ⭐ The Square Of Sevens by Laura Shepherd Robinson ⭐ The Birdcage Library by Freya Berry
The Birdcage Library I bought after seeing all the great reviews on here and The Tortoise and The Hare is for the VMC bookclub I’m part of on here. After Anne is for a blog tour and I’m really looking forward to reading it as I love Anne Of Green Gables. The others are proofs I received from work.
I’m working today which I’m excited about as it’s my first Sunday shift and the kids are going to the Cotswold Water Park so I know they’ll have a great time.
What are your plans today?
After Anne by Logan Steiner
A stunning and unexpected portrait of Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of one of literature’s most prized heroines, whose personal demons were at odds with her most enduring legacy—the irrepressible Anne of Green Gables.
“Dear old world,” she murmured, “you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.” —L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, 1908
As a young woman, Maud had dreams bigger than the whole of Prince Edward Island. Her exuberant spirit had always drawn frowns from her grandmother and their neighbors, but she knew she was meant to create, to capture and share the way she saw the world. And the young girl in Maud’s mind became more and more persistent: Here is my story, she said. Here is how my name should be spelled—Anne with an “e.”
But the day Maud writes the first lines of Anne of Green Gables, she gets a visit from the handsome new minister in town, and soon faces a decision: forge her own path as a spinster authoress, or live as a rural minister’s wife, an existence she once called “a synonym for respectable slavery.” The choice she makes alters the course of her life.
With a husband whose religious mania threatens their health and happiness at every turn, the secret darkness that Maud herself holds inside threatens to break through the persona she shows to the world, driving an ever-widening wedge between her public face and private self, and putting her on a path towards a heartbreaking end.
Beautiful and moving, After Anne reveals Maud’s hidden personal challenges while celebrating what was timeless about her life and art—the importance of tenacity and the peaceful refuge found in imagination.
The Turnglass by Gareth Rubin
Stuart Turton meets The Magpie Murders in this immersive and unique story for fans of clever crime fiction.
Imagine you’re holding a book in your hands. It’s not just any book though. It’s a tête-bêche novel, beloved of nineteenth-century bookmakers. It’s a book that is two books: two intertwined stories printed back-to-back. Open the book and the first novella begins. It ends at the middle of the book. Then flip the book over, head to tail, and read the second story in the opposite direction. Both covers are front covers; and it can be read in either direction, or in both directions at once, alternating chapters, to fully immerse the reader in it.
1880s England. On the bleak island of Ray, off the Essex coast, an idealistic young doctor, Simeon Lee, is called from London to treat his cousin, Parson Oliver Hawes, who is dying. Parson Hawes, who lives in the only house on the island – Turnglass House – believes he is being poisoned. And he points the finger at his sister-in-law, Florence. Florence was declared insane after killing Oliver’s brother in a jealous rage and is now kept in a glass-walled apartment in Oliver’s library. And the secret to how she came to be there is found in Oliver’s tête-bêche journal, where one side tells a very different story from the other.
1930s California. Celebrated author Oliver Tooke, the son of the state governor, is found dead in his writing hut off the coast of the family residence, Turnglass House. His friend Ken Kourian doesn’t believe that Oliver would take his own life. His investigations lead him to the mysterious kidnapping of Oliver’s brother when they were children, and the subsequent secret incarceration of his mother, Florence, in an asylum. But to discover the truth, Ken must decipher clues hidden in Oliver’s final book, a tête-bêche novel – which is about a young doctor called Simeon Lee . . .
The Tortoise And The Hare by Elizabeth Jenkins
Imogen, the beautiful wife of barrister Evelyn Gresham, is facing the greatest challenge of her married life. Their neighbour Blanche Silcox, competent, tweedy, middle-aged and ungainly – the very opposite of Imogen – seems to be vying for Evelyn’s attention. And to Imogen’s increasing disbelief, she may be succeeding – for in affairs of the heart the race is not necessarily won by the swift or the fair.
The Square Of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson
My father had spelt it out to me. Choice was a luxury I couldn’t afford. This is your story, Red. You must tell it well . . .’
A girl known only as Red, the daughter of a Cornish fortune-teller, travels with her father making a living predicting fortunes using the ancient method: the Square of Sevens. When her father suddenly dies, Red becomes the ward of a gentleman scholar.
Now raised as a lady amidst the Georgian splendour of Bath, her fortune-telling is a delight to high society. But she cannot ignore the questions that gnaw at her soul: who was her mother? How did she die? And who are the mysterious enemies her father was always terrified would find him?
The pursuit of these mysteries takes her from Cornwall and Bath to London and Devon, from the rough ribaldry of the Bartholomew Fair to the grand houses of two of the most powerful families in England. And while Red’s quest brings her the possibility of great reward, it also leads into her grave danger . . .
The Birdcage Library by Freya Berry
1932. Emily Blackwood, a young adventuress and plant hunter, travels north for a curious new commission. A gentleman has written to request she catalogue his vast collection of taxidermied creatures before sale.
On arrival, Emily finds a ruined castle, its owner haunted by the memory of a woman who disappeared five decades before. And when she discovers the ripped pages of an old diary, crammed into the walls, she realises a dark secret lies here, waiting to entrap her too…
The Birdcage Library will hold you in its spell until the final page.

Book Synopsis:
As the bombs began to fall, the book club kept their hopes alive…
London, 1938. Bookseller Gertie Bingham is facing difficult times, having just lost her beloved husband, Harry, and with a lingering sadness at never having been able to have a child of her own. Struggling to face running the bookshop she and Harry opened together, Gertie is preparing to sell up and move away when she is asked if she would be willing to take in a young Jewish refugee from Germany. Gertie is unsure and when sullen teenager Hedy Fischer arrives, Gertie fears she has nothing left to give the troubled girl.
But when the German bombers come and the lights go out over London, Gertie and Hedy realise that joining forces will make them stronger, and that books have the power to bring young and old together and unite a community in need in its darkest hour…
About The Author:
After a career in bookselling and publishing, Annie Lyons became an author. She was shortlisted for the RNA Contemporary Romantic Novel of the Year Award. When not working on her novels, she teaches creative writing. She lives in south east London with her husband and two children and puppy, Nelson.
EDINBURGH, 1853. In a city of science, discovery can be deadly . . .
In a time of unprecedented scientific discovery, the public’s appetite for wonder has seen a resurgence of interest in mesmerism, spiritualism and other unexplained phenomena.
Dr Will Raven is wary of the shadowlands that lie between progress and quackery, but Sarah Fisher can’t afford to be so picky. Frustrated in her medical ambitions, she sees opportunity in a new therapeutic field not already closed off to women.
Raven has enough on his hands as it is. Body parts have been found at Surgeons’ Hall, and they’re not anatomy specimens. In a city still haunted by the crimes of Burke and Hare, he is tasked with heading off a scandal.
When further human remains are found, Raven is able to identify a prime suspect, and the hunt is on before he kills again. Unfortunately, the individual he seeks happens to be an accomplished actor, a man of a thousand faces and a renowned master of disguise.
With the lines between science and spectacle dangerously blurred, the stage is set for a grand and deadly illusion . . .
My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this series and always look forward to seeing where the authors will take the story next. This book was no exception and I really enjoyed this fascinating and absorbing book which was a fantastic addition to a series that keeps getting better.
Firstly it was great to be back with the wonderful duo of Raven and Fisher, trying to solve another mystery alongside them. This time when we catch up with them we realise how much life has moved on for Will. He’s now a husband and a father, under pressure from everyone to start up a practice on his own away from Sarah which he’s not completely sure he wants. Sarah Fisher meanwhile is still struggling to be accepted by the medical profession and trying to find areas where women might be able to progress. Out of the two I’ve always preferred Sarah who is easy to like and sympathise with. She’s clearly very intelligent and I enjoyed following her throughout the story.
The story has a great pace to it and I soon felt absorbed into the story. I always love learning more about history so found a lot of the medical history mentioned in this book really fascinating. The author includes some real life historical figures and some forms of medicine that I hadn’t heard of before so I loved finding out more about them. There were lots of twists and misdirection that kept me guessing which I always love. I did guess part of the main twist but this didn’t stop me enjoying the book as I had to keep reading to find out if I was right. The ending was very clever and I liked how the author left it open so there are many different things that could happen next installment.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book. If you are looking for an historical crime series I highly recommend this one.

Struggling to comprehend the shocking death of his teenage daughter, Ben Goldsmith finds solace in nature by immersing himself in plans to rewild his farm.
In July 2019, Ben Goldsmith lost his fifteen-year-old daughter, Iris, in an accident on their family farm in Somerset. Iris’s death left her family reeling.
Grasping for answers, Ben threw himself into searching for some ongoing trace of his beloved child, exploring ideas that until then had seemed too abstract to mean much to him. Missing his daughter terribly and struggling to imagine how he would face the rest of his life in the shadow of this loss, Ben found solace in nature, the object of a lifelong fascination. As Ben set about rewilding his farm, nature became a vital source of meaning and hope.
This book is the story of a year of soul-searching that followed a terrible loss. In an instant, Ben’s world had turned dark. Yet, unbelievably to him, the seasons kept on turning, and as he immersed himself in the dramatic restoration of nature in the place where it happened, he found healing.
In God is an Octopus, Ben tells a powerful, immersive and inspiring story of finding comfort and strength in nature after suffering loss and despair.
My Review:
God Is An Octopus is an emotional, raw read that I found very fascinating and comforting.
The story follows Ben from the day of his daughter’s tragic accident and then through the following months. As someone who has lots a baby herself I found the first few chapters quite poignant and raw to read about. Ben’s grief is almost palpable and a lot of the things he describes are things I remember thinking or feeling after we lost Christopher. In a way this was comforting too as it made me work through everything that happened and realise I wasn’t alone in feeling as I had.
Ben’s exploration of nature and rewilding of his garden was very interesting to follow. I confess I didn’t realise how much the countryside had changed due to human activity and it was sad to realise how little things that we’ve done, like cutting back hedges, has affected the wildlife. I liked following his progress in this and seeing how it helped him.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be recommending it to others to read. I read it as part of a group and a few people were put off by Ben’s privilege as he obviously spends a lot of money on his garden and takes a long time off work. This wasn’t a factor for me though, maybe as I didn’t realise who is was until halfway through the book , but I just saw him as a dad who has sadly lost his child.
Huge thanks to Tandem Collective for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost someone or has a friend who is struggling with their grief at losing someone as I think it would be very helpful.

Good morning everyone. I’ve been trying to be very good and not get too many books. However I couldn’t resist these.
⭐More Than A Woman by Caitlin Morgan ⭐As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh ⭐I Brought A Mountain by Thomas Firbank ⭐The Bear And The Nightingale by Katherine Arden ⭐ Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson
Most of these I got from work but I did buy Lemon Trees and The Bear And The Nightingale as I’ve been very intrigued by them since I saw them come into the shop.
Today is my day off so I’m planning to meet a friend and read some more of the fabulous Fourth Wing this morning before going into my kids school this afternoon to hear people in my daughter’s class read.
What was the last book you’ve bought?
More Than A Woman by Caitlin Morgan
A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general ‘hoo-ha’ of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed ‘the difficult bit’ was over, and her forties were going to be a doddle.
If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering. Why isn’t there such a thing as a ‘Mum Bod’? How did sex get boring? What are men really thinking? Where did all that stuff in the kitchen drawers come from? Can feminists have Botox? Why has wine turned against you? How can you tell the difference between a Teenage Micro-Breakdown, and The Real Thing? Has feminism gone too far? And, as always, WHO’S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN?
Now with ageing parents, teenage daughters, a bigger bum and a To-Do list without end, Caitlin Moran is back with More Than A Woman: a guide to growing older, a manifesto for change, and a celebration of all those middle-aged women who keep the world turning.
As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh
A year ago, before the revolution, Salama watched her brother marry her best friend, Layla, and wondered when her own love story might begin. Now she works at the hospital – helping those she can, closing the eyes of those she can’t. Layla and her unborn baby are all Salama has left.
Unless you count Khawf. But he’s a hallucination; a symptom of the horrors she’s seen. Every day he urges Salama to leave. Every day she refuses.
Until she crosses paths with Kenan, the boy with the vivid green eyes, who wants to stay and risk his life for everything Syria could be .
I Bought A Mountain by Thomas Firbank
Written on the eve of the Second World War, this memoir tells the remarkable story of how 21-year-old Thomas Firbank decided on impulse to purchase a 2,400-acre hill farm in the rugged, inhospitable mountains of Snowdonia, and how he and his wife struggled to build it back into prosperity.
The book became an international bestseller, selling over half-a-million copies worldwide and pioneered the genre of ‘good life’ rural escape literature. This new edition is introduced with a foreword by the award-winning nature writer, Patrick Barkham, and includes an afterword by contemporary Welsh sheep farmer, Dafydd Morris-Jones.
I Bought a Mountain is a thrilling human tale of tragedy and triumph, as well as a portrait of a lost era when farming was a communal endeavour, offering precious insights into conservation and sustainability relevant for today.
Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson
I knew our family reunion wouldn’t end well. But I didn’t expect murder.
Maybe I should have known better. After all, everyone in my family is a killer. My parents, my siblings, my in-laws . . . even me. The deaths weren’t all deliberate, of course. Accidents happen.
So when a body is found in the snow, it’s clear it’s the work of a Cunningham. But which one? And why?
I’ll give you one clue: it wasn’t me.
But a piece of advice? Never trust a Cunningham . . .
The Bear And The Nightingale by Katherine Arden
Beware the evil in the woods…
In a village at the edge of the wilderness of northern Russia, where the winds blow cold and the snow falls many months of the year, an elderly servant tells stories of sorcery, folklore and the Winter King to the children of the family, tales of old magic frowned upon by the church.
But for the young, wild Vasya these are far more than just stories. She alone can see the house spirits that guard her home, and sense the growing forces of dark magic in the woods. . .
Atmospheric and enchanting, with an engrossing adventure at its core, The Bear and the Nightingale is perfect for readers of Naomi Novik’s Uprooted, Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus, and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials.
Good morning everyone this week on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring the two Mike Gayle books I’ve been sent recently.
I absolutely love Mike Gayle’s book and I highly recommend them to anyone who hasn’t read them yet. His writing is just beautiful and he always writes characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. They are always emotional, heart warming stories that stay with me long after reading. I’m therefore hugely excited to read A Song Of Me & You soon.
Huge thanks to the tagged publishers for my copies of these books.

The Museum Of Ordinary People
Still reeling from the sudden death of her mother, Jess is about to do the hardest thing she’s ever done: empty her childhood home so that it can be sold.
But when in the process Jess stumbles across the mysterious Alex, together they become custodians of a strange archive of letters, photographs, curios and collections known as The Museum of Ordinary People.
As they begin to delve into the history of the objects in their care, Alex and Jess not only unravel heartbreaking stories that span generations and continents, but also unearth long buried secrets that lie much closer to home.
Inspired by a box of mementos found abandoned in a skip following a house clearance, The Museum of Ordinary People is a thought-provoking and poignant story of memory, grief, loss and the things we leave behind.
A Song Of Me & You
Helen and Ben parted as heartbroken 18-year-olds and went their very separate ways.
Twenty years later, mother-of-two-teenagers Helen is still in Manchester, a part-time primary teacher, stunned by the behaviour of her love-rat husband. In an old T shirt and scruffy jeans, she feels at the lowest point in her life.
And suddenly, impossibly, Ben is standing on her doorstep. Tired maybe, lonely even, but clearly still the world-famous, LA-based multi-millionaire rockstar he has become.
Can you ever go back?
For Helen and Ben, so much has happened in the years between. But just to sit in the kitchen for a while and talk – that would be nice.
Before the world comes crashing in.

How do you find love . . . when you have the loneliest job in the world?
This is the story of Gayle and Martin, who fall in love over the course of ten years- over a yearly visit to a tiny, isolated island off the Welsh coast.
Gayle is a teacher and each year she brings her class to the island to see the local flora and fauna, from sea birds to playful seals. Martin, the island’s caretaker and only human resident, lives in and maintains the lighthouse, which opens to the public for just this one day a year.
Gayle is effervescent but feels trapped, while Martin is lonely and isolated. As their love slowly builds over time, they both yearn for the annual field trip where they can finally see each other… Until one year Gayle doesn’t come back, and Martin has to leave his island hideaway to find her.
A romantic, tender love story, perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and Rachel Joyce.
My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author and always look forward to new books from him. I loved this beautifully written, magical love story that had me reading far to late into the night. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.
The story follows Gayle and Martin over the course of ten years as they gradually grow closer together. I loved Gayle who I warmed to instantly. It was lovely to see her gradually let go and become the person she was meant to be. Martin was another lovely character who I felt very sorry for as he has a rather traumatic start to the book. He did frustrate me at times which caused me to put the book down for a few minutes while I calmed down but I think this is a sign that I cared about the character. It was beautiful to watch them slowly become closer and help each other through the rough times.
The Island setting was beautiful described so I felt I could really picture it in my mind. I loved that it seemed like another character at times, helping Martin and Gayle in their lives. I’ve always had a fascination with lighthouses (I blame Fraggle Rock from when I was little) and view them as a magical place which seemed fitting in this story where the island definitely has a magical element to it.
This book starts slowly as the author sets the scene but the beautiful story line and fabulous characters soon mean that the reader is thoroughly absorbed in the book. The story goes from being very emotional and heartbreaking in places to being laugh out loud funny in others. There are some bits which need to be taken with a pinch of salt but that’s part of the fun of David’s books in my opinion.
Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book. If you’re looking for an escapist, magical read then I highly recommend this book.
