Hello!
On my trip to Worcester recently I went book shopping at Waterstones and I went a little bit crazy with the Christmas themed books. The Christmas themed books are definitely on my TBR for December. I’m planning on reading the Jeremy Clarkson book this month as it is a nonfiction book. The Mercy of Gods will probably be a book for my 2025 reading.
I can’t wait to get reading these books and I’m really hoping the Christmas themed books get me into the Christmas spirit.

Hello!
Apologies about not being about the last few days. My poor laptop decided to give up the ghost and I hadn’t done any scheduled posts. I really missed my blogging world!
My chosen book today is one that I have recently added to my TBR and I hope to be on my December TBR.
The Christmas Stocking Murders by Denzil Meyrick
A case shrouded in secrets.
It’s just before Christmas, 1953. Grasby and Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley’s Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat.
A festive mystery for one and all.
Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. A blizzard cuts off Grasby and Juggers from help, and the local innkeeper is murdered. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke as the villagers refuse to talk, leaving the two detectives chasing false leads in the snow.
A winter wonderland with no escape.
To make matters worse, Grasby can’t stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? Who is the sinister bespectacled man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect?

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have had a very busy day teaching but I have managed a little bit of reading between lessons. I am thoroughly enjoying my non fiction reading so far.
What I am Currently Reading
I’m still plodding along with A Crown of Swords every evening and still enjoying it. I have nearly finished Queens of the Age of Chivalry and I am finding it really interesting.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I haven’t found a Dr Ruth Galloway that I haven’t enjoyed yet.
What I Think I will Read Next
I have so many non fiction books planned for this month, I just hope I get to read quite a few.

Hello!
This year I have decided to take part in Non Fiction November. Over the last few years I have really got into reading non fiction but this year I haven’t done as much as I would like. Having this month to just read solid non fiction seems like a perfect plan.
My planned non fiction books. I probably won’t manage to read all these books but I am planning on giving it my best.
What books are you planning on reading for Non Fiction November?

Happy Monday Everyone!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I have had an unexpected day off today so this meant a spontaneous adventure.
My chosen book to feature off my Goodreads TBR this week is another that has been sat on my TBR for a very long time. It is another book by my absolute favourite author and historian. Next year I plan on reading as much Alison Weir as I can.
Children of England by Alison Weir
At his death in 1547, King Henry VIII left four heirs to the English throne: his only son, the nine-year-old Prince Edward; the Lady Mary, the adult daughter of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon; the Lady Elizabeth, the daughter of his second wife, Anne Boleyn, and his young great-niece, the Lady Jane Grey. These are the players in a royal drama that ultimate led to Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne–one of the most spectacularly successful reigns in English history.

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to November so far. I am so happy with my reading in October. In fact October is probably the best month I have had in 2024 so far. I managed to read 6 books which is double my monthly average.
