It was a bit of a slow reading month for me throughout April. I only clocked seven books in total, six of which were five star reads though, so once again, quality is winning out over quantity. All seven were review books, so no progress on my 22 in 2022 and the classics shelf remains … Continue reading A Month of Reading: April

A Month of Reading: March
Is eight the new magic number for me? Eight books in February and now eight again for March. I made inroads with my 22 in 2022 challenge, ticking off another two books read for that.

A Month of Reading: November

Until next month, which will be on the other side of Christmas! … Continue reading A Month of Reading: November
The Week That Was…
Delighted and honoured to have a cover quote on the newly re-released copy of The Truth and Addy Loest by Kim Kelly. The rest of the week was work, eat, read, sleep, repeat, with a splash of this thrown in yesterday while football trials were held at the coast. I did buy a full conference … Continue reading The Week That Was…

The Week That Was…
Life in all its busy glory with a broken wrist (younger son, football) and becoming licensed to drive (oldest son, Ps). Plus, I upgraded my 17 year old dishwasher and I am proud to say I installed it myself! Where there is a will there is a way, I am discovering more and more in … Continue reading The Week That Was…
