Books read this week:
This week has been another busy one. I went off track a little with my reading, well, not off track exactly as the books were still from my October list, just a little out of order, a bit of mood reading. I completed Cold Snap by Lindy Ryan. This one didn’t work out quite as well as I was anticipating, particularly after I loved her last book, Bless Your Heart, perhaps my expectations were out of kilter. I hadn’t realised this was a novella and I rarely request shorter books or collections as they’re not really my go to. I also read, loved and reviewed Magic by Sarah Pinborough, this was so good and I have another from the collection still waiting to be read that I can’t wait to pick up. And, as I’m writing up this post I’ve just completed Hear Him Calling by Carly Reagon – if you want scaring half to death then I suggest giving this a read, seriously this gave me the heebies. It’s the perfect time for a haunting story and Hear Him Calling delivers this without a shadow of a doubt.
Next Week’s Reads:
I’m going to get back on track and pick up The Coven by Harper L Woods and The Book of Witching by CJ Cooke. In fact I’ve already started The Book of Witching, it’s early days but so far so good.

That’s it for me this week, what have you been up to, any good books to shout out about. Let me know.







Mood reading can be a life saver!! And I am sorry that Cold Snap didn’t work so well for you! I hope your current reads will be more satisfying!!
Yeah, perhaps I went into Cold Snap with the wrong idea – it’s also very bleak and I wasn’t in the right mood for bleak.
Lynn 😀
I definitely want to hear more about Hear Him Calling. I also barely started The Book of Witching but then set it aside. I will get back to it at some point. I’m reading a November release right now (gasp!)
Hope your November reading is going well 😀
