Dear friends. After the excitement of June and July's reading, which was mostly done months ago thanks to advance digital copies, I've been in a bit of a books funk.
NetGalley hasn't been enticing me with much, and what I have requested has often turned into a "Did Not Finish." I'm several books behind my reading goal on Goodreads.
Dear friends. A bumper crop of books this month. I'm sure there's something of interest for everyone. I bring you two 5 star reads plus some close contenders from the likes of Elizabeth Strout and Satu Rämö, plus three non-fiction books covering butterflies, cooking and The Beatles.
If you're wondering how I managed to read 10 books in a month, well, I receive advance digital copies from NetGalley, sometimes months before the books are published. I read most of these in darkest winter.
Dear friends. An update for you on books I've recently read, new arrivals, and what's ahead in my mid April round-up.
Dear friends. An exciting month for me as I was nominated for UK Book Blogger of the Year. I must add however that it was a LONG long list and I didn't make the short list. I didn't expect to, because although I review books extensively on NetGalley, I'm not a dedicated book blogger.
I simply read books and share my thoughts with you because I know most of you are avid readers.
Many thanks to those who voted for me!
