It's that time of year again!! Yep, you guessed it, BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022!!!


I have (as of Dec 12) read 44 books, including several on Audio and for the month of December, I decided to turn all the books on my TBR backwards so I can't see the spines. Then I made myself a little lucky dip so I have to read whatever I draw out. It's been interesting so far!

Anyhoo, let's get this show on the road!


My Top 10 Books Published and Read in 2022 are;

10) The Judas Tree by Amanda Jennings

9) The Fixer Upper by Lauren Forsythe 

8) Cornish Clouds and Silver Lining Skies by Ali McNamara

7) The Guilty Couple by C.L. Taylor

6) From Now On by Amelia Henley

5) The Summer Fair by Heidi Swain

4) One Last Secret by Adele Parks

3) Mrs Van Gogh by Caroline Cauchi

2) The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell

And my Book of the Year 2022 is...

WOMEN LIKE US BY AMANDA PROWSE


I discovered and fell in love with the books of T.M. Logan this year, when I got sent The Curfew to review. Now I'm working on collecting his whole catalogue. His books are so, so good!!


There was a book that took me far too long to pick up to read and I wish I'd read it much sooner! That book is Behind Closed Doors by Carol Wyer. She hasn't written a book I haven't loved, and for some reason, this one escaped me until recently. It was so good though!


My Favourite Audiobook 2022 is:

Dark Pines by Will Dean, narrated by Maya Lindh


My Favourite Series that I read is:

Tuva Moodyson series by Will Dean


My Top 3 Festive Reads of 2022 are:

3) A Christmas Celebration by Heidi Swain

2) Christmas Cupid by Jennifer Joyce

1) The Christmas Wish by Lindsey Kelk (It's like Groundhog Day but it's Christmas!)


So, there we have it folks! My BOTY2022!! Thanks to all the publishers, authors and publicists that have sent or recommended books for me to review. I feel so lucky to be able to do this! Merry Christmas and bring on the books for 2023!

Why I'm Shaving My Head for Lancashire Women

Hi there! I know it's been ages since I've done a personal blog post.      Things have been... weird. I know the whole world has struggled getting used to this new normal and the new measures we have to follow. So many people have lost so much to COVID and my heart breaks for them. And while the virus itself hasn't changed my life very much, this time of lockdowns and self-isolating has been really hard for me too.      When it all first started to change, Steve was taken into hospital with a bunch of different symptoms. COVID wasn't really a thing then, so he wasn't tested for it, but looking back, we're pretty sure that's what it was. While he was in hospital in March, an inspector from the RSPCA came to check on the welfare of our dogs as they'd had a report that Sky, our GSD, was too skinny. She is petite, a slim girl who didn't have a good start in life but is spoilt rotten now, along with our other 2, Bella and Minnie. They had no concerns and

Blog Tour Stop with Review of A Truth For A Truth by Carol Wyer

  First off, I must apologise to Zoe and Carol. My blog tour stop was yesterday, and somehow my post got lost in the ether. I didn't notice until today, as thr hubby hasn't been well, and my time has been taken up with my dogs and caring for hubs. So, a day late and pared down from my original post due to lack of time, here is my review of A.Truth For A Truth by the wonderful Carol Wyer. Review: What can I say?? Any book by Carol Wyer is going to be a hit in my opinion, and this is no exception. DI Kate Young is a flawed character who is full of heart and humility. I think she's been dealt a shit hand in life, and struggles to figure out her path. Traumas and dramas, untrustworthy men, and unstable mental health make her slightly difficult to bond with sometimes. But still, I care a lot about her wellbeing. This installment of her series is really compelling, and an interesting take on a "who dunnit". More of a "who will they THINK dunnit"! I loved that!
