Look forward to the discussions!

Good week of reading.
William Marshall‘s wife was a bit disappointing.
Thrillers were all entertaining reads.
Tidal Zone was beautifully written.

Lovely days reading and finished this one 😁
I‘m working my way through Moss‘s back catalogue that I haven‘t read.
There‘s not much of a plot, but beautiful, insightful writing as always.

I‘m on a day reading retreat in a hotel in Liverpool 😁

Really good psychological thriller 👍🏻 I guessed a couple of the twists, but not all. Good read and currently 99p on kindle.

New to me detective series. Loved it nearly straight away. Good characters are introduced and a good twisty crime story. Oh, and set in Liverpool.

If you‘ve read everything on William Marshall then you will know all this. There‘s nothing new here. Which is not surprising because women are very seldom in history as themselves.
Don‘t be fooled by the bookmark, the Normans and then Marshall built Pembroke Castle, not the bloody Tudors! Bah….

#bookreport
The Devil‘s Code was great.
Loved Stone Yard Devotional.
A Death in Cornwall was so-so. This series should be coming to an end.
Started William Marshall‘s Wife this morning.

Third book I‘ve picked up this morning as couldn‘t decide what to read! I‘d have preferred the title to be the other way round. 🤷‍♀️ Let‘s see how the book goes.

Wood‘s ‘other‘ series- I‘m glad I gave this series a second book as I wasn‘t too sure after the first. I‘m now warmed up to the characters.
Author always writes a good (also gory!) serial killer story.

The mice did freak me out a bit…..otherwise, a quiet novel packing a punch about life.
Don‘t we all wish we could disengage sometimes. And that we knew how to handle grief and dying. And that we‘d always done the right thing at the right time.
But my bookmark is perfect ❤️

Entertaining reads this week.

I have lots to say to the author and would love to sit down and chat with him. I agree with about 70% of his writing….some had me laughing. Outside of Liverpool, people with Liverpool connections or interested in social history- I‘m not sure who it appeals to.
Lots of people I work with get a mention which is always a bit weird! (Historians who write about Liverpool).
It‘s a definite pick though.

Next up - a book about home ♥️

As many twists and turns as you would expect in a Barclay thriller. Good entertaining read 👍🏻

#petpeeve
This title has not existed since 1707….

#bookreport
Current read is I Will Ruin You, enjoyable thriller so far.
Loved all my other reads this week.

The previous book I read by this author really tugged at the heart strings. This one is no different, although I guessed what was coming it was still really sad 😢
Really well written and I liked the way the two timelines came together.

Thought the writing was beautiful, the story great and I‘m in love with the cover ❤️

#motherdaughterread
Daughter started the Collins the minute she got in from work!

Scary dystopian shit, that‘s not really dystopian. Claustrophobic and you can feel this isn‘t far away.
Great read, even if terrifying.

Have read the last 2 in the series back to back because of a cliff hanger and now this one ends on a similar one!! But the next one isn‘t out yet 😮
Great series.

#bookreport
So it looks like I‘m on a crime run, brain too tired after work this week!
Model Home was just a so- so for me, I struggled with the style of writing maybe it was the tired brain!

My bad week/double Waterstones points book haul.

There hasn‘t been a bad one in this series yet and I‘m at no 11. Roller coaster ride of action and a jaw dropping cliff hanger of an ending.

If you love Rose‘s books you‘ll love this one. A lot of horrible things happen to a lot of people, but (mostly) the baddies are caught.

#bookreport
Loved The Dark Mirror ❤️
The Other Tenant was an ok thriller.
Penitence was good- lots of unresolved questions at the end, so if you like all things tied up, probably not for you.
Currently reading the new Karen Rose.

#quicklunchtimeread
It‘s been a while!

Soft pick. Entertaining and you really want to know what‘s going on.

Brilliant story telling as always ♥️ Paige continues to make bad decisions and deal with the consequences and have lots of battles!
This one is set outside Scion (not a spoiler -it‘s in the blurb!) which is really interesting to see the free worlds perspective.
Hopefully not 4 years until the next one!

Making progress!

#bookreport
Got 50% through Nemisis, usually love this series but this one is flat and boring….may finish.
Loved My Good Bright Wolf.
Started Dark Mirror this morning and it‘s great 😁

It‘s time 😁 I have so much to do today, but…

I love Moss‘s books and her writing style and this memoir explores many of the themes that come out in her fiction.
Hard to say you loved a book that‘s so full of trauma and self hate. I thought the narrative was so well done - as if keeping at arms length the horrible and harmful thoughts in her head.
I wish her all the best.

A steep learning curve.

#bookreport
Finished re-read of The Mask Falling
Read 2nd in AI detective series- Leave no Trace
Debut novel Exile was good
Just started next one in Orphan X series - Nemesis.

Excellent debut novel. Grim, sad content but very well written.

#trainreading
On way to London to see a play 😁

I‘ve been arguing with our history department all week about GAI and assessments and then read a book with an AI detective.However, I did enjoy the book 😁

The re-read was just as good! All ready for number 5 next week and going to see Samantha talk about it ♥️

#bookreport
Old Soul was great.
Re-reading The Mask Falling to be extra prepared for the next one which I‘ve very excited about.

#bookhaul
Happy Valentine‘s to me ❤️ off hubby.

Loved it. Creepy horror vibe and a good story. Keeps you on your toes.
@Reggie I think you‘ll love this
@Oryx did you get yet? Think you will love too.

#bookreport
Hardly any reading this week. Ofsted in work, don‘t get to pee or eat never mind read.

#trainreading
On way to crime book festival with @squirrelbrain . I‘m looking forward to MW Craven and Michael Wood and hearing some authors new to me.

#bookishstuff
Two new books today.
Merch is from new exhibition at British Library that I sadly can‘t get to- Medieval Women. The bookmarks are Joan of Arc and Eleanor of Aquitaine ❤️

Really good historical fiction. Jumps between WW2 and the Berlin Wall going up. Not an easy read and a lot of traumatic goings on.

#bookreport
Loved Wolf at the Table
Continued series with A Deadly Promise.
Currently reading The Silence in Between and enjoying!

Very surprised at all the meh reviews here (have only looked now once finished!).
I thought it was great.
Dysfunctional family, with one mega dysfunctional son. Decide yourself what made him this way.

#bookreport
Busy work week, slow reading week
2 wolf books! Currently reading Wolf at the Table and enjoying.
