There you have it folks! I lost my reading mojo a few times this year, re-read some comfort books and stepped back from it all for a bit so there are tons of books that I wanted to read but haven't yet. Next year I may include a section on favourite book published in previous years, or something.

I hope you find some inspiration here! Happy reading, Merry Christmas and see you in 2022!

Blog Tour Stop with Review - The Missing Girls by Carol Wyer

  Welcome to my stop on the Blog blitz for the fabulous third Instalment in the DI Robyn Carter series! What They Say: One girl found dead. Another girl gone... Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever...

Can she find the sickest individual she h...

Now, after years of hiding the drinking, she must finally admit that she has found another love..." What I Say: I hadn't planned on posting my review of Another Love by Amanda Prowse yet as the book isn't out until (I believe) 16th January. However, I posted a brief review on Goodreads and Amanda has been sharing it on other social media so I thought she wouldn't mind. Another Love is a stunning, emotionally intense story of a wo...
