I just started The Hedgerow this morning and I love it! I really hope it continues to be so good.

Hello!
I was really pleased with how I did with my May TBR, reading two out of my four books was a big improvement on how I usually do with my planned TBR. I’m really hoping I manage to do the same with my June TBR or even better.
Where the Crawdads Sing and Queens of the Age of Chivalry are both books off my 24 Books in 2024 list. The Hedgerow and Klova are both books very kindly sent to me by publishers. The Household is the book I will hopefully read if I manage to read the first four.
I hope everyone’s planned reading for June goes well.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have actually managed to finish a book today which felt good as it seems to be such a rare occurance for me at the moment.
What I am Currently Reading
I’m about 50 pages into Where the Crawdads Sing and so far so good. I’ve always been a bit nervous about reading this book because of the hype it has received and I am so often let down by books with a lot of hype. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype. Lord of Chaos is still plodding along but I’m only managing about 10 pages a night before I fall asleep.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I finished this book this morning and the review will follow soon. I enjoyed the book but there were a few areas I wasn’t keen on.
What I Think I will Read Next
I really need to get moving on my reading challenges so most of my planned reading is from my 24 Books in 2024 challenge currently.
Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Hello!
I really thought my reading would get better in May but sadly I improved on April by managing to read one more book. I’m falling way behind with my reading challenges but I just don’t seem to have the time at the moment. The only thing for it is to just give up work (I wish)!

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I am back to work tomorrow and I must admit I’m not that keen on going back. The run up to the summer holidays is never easy as the kids just want to be out of school in the sunshine. I can’t blame them as I feel the same!

I have nearly finished Destination Maisie and I am really enjoying it so far. Lord of Chaos is excellent so far.

Hello!
My week so far has been wonderful. I’ve been on loads of adventures but sadly this does also mean less reading. I have done some book buying on my adventures and I have also done some kindle book buying in readiness for my holidays.
Kindle Books
These were all on offer for 99p each and because I love all these authors I just knew I couldn’t resist.
Books
I bought these two books from the second hand bookshop at Coughton Court. I love the bookshop there and always find a gem or two when I visit.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For more info please check out Jana’s blog.
Hello!
I can’t believe this is my first Top Ten Tuesday of 2024! I have no idea why I haven’t taken part this year as I usually love taking part in Top Ten Tuesday.
One of my aims this year was to buy less books and read them as quickly as I can rather than leaving them to get lost on one of the many TBR piles in my house. So far I have probably managed to read about 50% of the books I have bought or acquired this year.
So here is the list of books that I have been super excited to buy and even had on preorder for months and months and yet I still haven’t read.
I do wonder if the reason so many books I am excited about sit unread is because I am a mood reader. I know my fellow book bloggers have the same problem. Please feel free to tell me why you think you do the same as I would love to hear your theories.

Goodreads Monday is now hosted by Budget Tales Book Club. All you have to do is show off a book from your TBR that you’re looking forward to reading.
Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I’ve had a lovely few hours working in the garden and I’ve managed some reading. Having the day off work really is the best!
The book off my Goodreads TBR is from an auto buy author for me. I love the books of Stacey Halls so when I saw this book coming out I had it preordered straight away.
From the Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Women’s Prize Futures Award, the captivating, highly anticipated new novel, inspired by real historical figures and events.
In a quiet house in the countryside outside London, the finishing touches are being made to welcome a group of young women. The house and its location are top secret, its residents unknown to one another, but the girls have one thing in they are fallen. Offering refuge for prostitutes, petty thieves and the destitute, Urania Cottage is a second chance at life – but how badly do they want it?
Meanwhile, a few miles away in a Piccadilly mansion, millionairess Angela Burdett-Coutts, one of the benefactors of Urania Cottage, makes a discovery that leaves her her stalker of 10 years has been released from prison . . .
As the women’s worlds collide in ways they could never have expected, they will discover that freedom always comes at a price . . .

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I’ve managed some reading and some fun music practice. It is always nice to do some practice for myself rather than work. Blogging has gone really well this week, I just hope I can keep it up.

I’m really enjoying both of these so far but I am finding the jumping around the timeline of Destination Maisie a bit confusing at times.
