Hello!
November is going to be my non-fiction month. I might read some fiction as well but it will be mainly non-fiction. I don’t really have a theme for my non-fiction reading, I’m just going for subjects that interest me.
Books I hope to read in November
I really hope I have a good reading month in November as October was not that great.

Hello!
Happy 1st November! I hope everyone has had a nice week so far. I’m really hoping November will be a better month on the reading front but we will wait and see.
What I am Currently Reading
I’m enjoying certain chapters with this book and certain chapters are not so good. I just want to know more about the hauntings!
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I really enjoyed both of these. Puss in Books was a very quick read but one I will happily dip into on other occasions.
What I Think I will Read Next
I’m planning to read mainly non-fiction during November but I will need the occasional novel to help me relax from work.
Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a nice Halloween so far. October wasn’t such a good month reading wise but I did manage to read 5 books.

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week so far. I am on half term so I had a lovely morning reading and drinking tea.
My chosen book today is one I have only recently purchased but one that I have wanted to read for a while.
Here’s how the history of the Roman Empire usually goes…
We start with Romulus, go on to Brutus overthrowing Tarquin, bounce through an appallingly tedious list of battles and generals and consuls, before emerging into the political stab-fest of the late Republic. From there, it runs through all the emperors, occasionally mentioning a wife or mother to show how bad things get when women get out of control, until Constantine invents Christianity and then Attila the Hun comes and ruins everything. But the history of Rome and empire is so much more than these Important Things.
In this alternative history, Emma Southon traces the story of the Roman Empire through women: Vestal Virgins and sex workers, business owners and poets, martyrs and saints. Each gives a different perspective on women’s lives and how they changed, across time and across class lines.

Hello!
Another week down and another week closer to Christmas. I must admit I am getting rather excited for my Christmas reading and have already started getting together some Christmas books I want to read in December.

I started reading this a few days ago and although I find it interesting I wish there was actually a bit more about the hauntings in it. So far it has been more of a history lesson and about the authors grief for his recently deceased father. The actual hauntings only get a few lines.

Hello!
I met up with some friends this week in Lincoln and this meant I could tick off another Waterstones from my Waterstones Challenge. I must admit my challenge has not been going well recently but I’m hoping I can get back into it again properly soon.
This was a lovely store with a very traditional store front. I found the ground floor rather cramped which made browsing rather a trial but the second and third floors were lovely. I especially loved the science fiction and fantasy section which was huge. They also had a dedicated cat section which was brilliant!
Here are the lovely books I purchased or should I say my wonderful husband purchased for me. I must admit social media made me buy The Pumpkin Spice Cafe so hopefully I enjoy it.
I have already started reading Hauntings by Neil Oliver and I am really enjoying it so far.
So there is number 15 off the list. I’m not even thinking about how many I have left.

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I am really looking forward to half term as I really need a rest and some quality reading time. My chosen book today is one that I have only recently added to my Goodreads TBR.
Set in the 19th century, The Romantic is the story of life itself. Following the roller-coaster fortunes of a man as he tries to negotiate the random stages, adventures and vicissitudes of his existence, from being a soldier to a pawnbroker, from being a jailbird to a gigolo to a diplomat – this is an intimate yet sweeping epic.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My reading is not going very well this month but I keep trying to catch up.
What I am Currently Reading
I started this yesterday and so far I am really enjoying it. The print is rather cramped which makes it harder to read whilst tired but I will keep trying.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
Divine Might took me quite a while to finish but I really enjoyed it. A Stroke of the Pen was an excellent book that I flew through.
What I Think I will Read Next
As per usual I’m not sure what I will read next but these are some possible contenders.
