I'm Spoiling You with These Books: November 2025

Dear friends. I bring you no fewer than three 5 star books this month. They are very different from each other.  

Discover the conscientious Norwegian detective Wisting; the loner who lives for the nightclub, and a determined little girl in Scotland who became one of the most significant players in Formula One racing. 

As always, most of the books were provided several months prior to publication from NetGalley in return for an honest review.  I don't blog about them until they are available to you.  Books with an asterisk are those I bought myself.

Coat Weather!

 & #TuesdayTwirl

Is This Mutton shows off an addition to her winter coat collection, a pink coral coat from Boden bought on eBay

Dear friends. We've gone from 18 degrees to 7 in just a few days. It's finally coat weather! 

I've added a new colour to my coat collection: a pink coral wool coat from Boden which I bought for £37 on ebay.

Nothing to Wear!

                                       And #TuesdayTwirl 

Is This Mutton owns up to a problem that's far from unique. A wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear.

Dear friends.  I'm sure we've all been there. A wardrobe full of clothes and an event to attend. But suddenly you can't find anything to wear.

This happened to me on my birthday. We were going out for dinner followed by the theatre. Originally I'd planned to wear purple. One of my husband's presents was a gorgeous purple bag. 

But I'd worn purple at a pop concert the week before and wasn't motivated to wear it again.
