Oh, January. Why are you so dreary, miserable and long?! Although, has anyone seen Winter? It feels as if we’re stuck in a never-ending Autumn and as much as I hate the cold that Winter brings, I kind of miss it.
Anyway, I thought I had been hugely productive this past week but looking back as I write this wrap-up, it turns out I wasn’t. But at least I’m still reading! Let’s just not talk about the pile of reviews that keeps stacking up.
| BOOKS I READ THIS WEEK |
I know, I know, six isn’t bad at all but I honestly thought I’d read more than that. At least I finished my first ever audiobook! Go me! 🤣
| BOOKS I BOUGHT THIS WEEK |
Book buying mojo still working like a charm! I may also have somewhere in the region of 14 pre-orders but who’s counting?
| ARC’s RECEIVED VIA NETGALLEY |
One for a blog tour, one I was invited to read and one because it was a “read now”. Sometimes it’s as simple as that.

Tuesday : Joined the blog tour For The Missing by Lina Bengtsdotter

Hm. The talk I had with myself regarding blog tours was obviously hugely successful 🙄
Right, I get to spend a wonderful (note the sarcasm) afternoon with the mother-in-law. Somehow that still sounds more pleasant than writing reviews though. 🤔
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Have a fabulous week and I wish you lots of happy reading! Until next time! xx

I feel the same this January – still feels like autumn and the autumn storms are happening now rather than in actual autumn it seems. Sigh… I really don’t like wet dreary weather!

Yes, that’s what’s been happening here as well. I hope the weather changes for the better for you soon!

Which audiobook did you listen to? Must be a special novel :-). The Girl Who Was Taken is on my readlist too.. I have high hopes we’ll both going to like this one very much! Oh and I wish we could feel spring already.. the cold is seeping through my pants every single morning and I hate it!

It was The Snowman. Cute children’s Christmas story. I quite enjoyed it.
Yes for Spring! Although I fear it will get colder before that first.
