Books read this week:
I missed my weekly update last Sunday and have also been very quiet on the blog, apart from my Countdown to 2025 posts. Put simply we’ve been so busy. Firstly, it was my birthday and I had a surprise party – it literally was a surprise, I simply can’t believe that so many people managed to keep it a secret. Anyway, it was absolutely lovely with family coming to stay but also very busy. Followed by which my husband has now caught the usual seasonal bug and I’m trying very hard not to catch it too. Long story short – it’s been a chaotic couple of weeks. I don’t feel like I’m on top of anything, but I have enjoyed myself.
With all the partying and the run up to Christmas my reading has definitely taken a hit. I have read Strange Beasts by Susan J Morris and I’m currently reading The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door by HG Parry which I’m very much enjoying.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete the Scholar and the Last Faerie Door and hopefully pick up one of these little beauties:
