Books read this week:
It’s been a busy week. The time is flying. It’s already been three and a half weeks since my hip replacement, I’m exercising and already getting about without any walking aids – just taking it easy and being careful. Little by little. I’ve also had a really good reading week and managed to catch up with comments and blog hopping, not quite fully caught up yet, and I do have a lot of reviews to post, but I’m getting there. This week I’ve completed the two books I’d already started – and really enjoyed both – The Dead Husband Cookbook by Danielle Valentine (that ending!) and Forget Me Not by Stacy Willingham (scary and twisted). I also picked up and really enjoyed the second instalment in the Echo Archives series by Melissa Caruso – The Last Soul Among Wolves. I did also pick up Aphrodite by Phoenicia Rogerson but this one isn’t working for me at the moment so I’ve put it aside for now.
Next Week’s Reads:
I have two more August review books left to read – Damned by Genevieve Cogman and This Vicious Hunger by Francesca May so these will be my next reads. I’ve also started a new audio book called This Monster of Mine by Shalini Abeysekara.

Books and travelling with Lynn 
I’m glad you’re recovering so quickly😁 I’m looking forward to your thoughts on the Danielle Valentine book! I wish I only had two more August review books to read, but I don’t know when to say no, obviously…
Haha – I know very well that feeling of being unable to say no. This year I’m trying to keep my unread review books as low as I can – I’ve made it personal – so I’ll see how I get on at the end of the year.
