Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I am trying to buy less books this year but so far this isn’t going well. This week we needed a break from the building work at the house and so we went for a wander around Ironbridge which led to a visit to Ironbridge Bookshop. This obviously led to book buying but I was good and only bought one.
I really enjoy the books by Philip K. Dick so I am looking forward to reading this soon.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. This week I realised I had a cash back voucher for a Kindle purchase so obviously that led to me buying a Kindle book and I also had a very important book preordered that arrived on Tuesday.
Kindle Book
I used to be a member of Pottermore and I really enjoyed finding out extra details about the world of Harry Potter so I’m looking forward to having all the facts from Pottermore in one book.
Waterstones Book
I have just finished reading Iron Flame so I really looking forward to reading this next.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I haven’t managed much reading today but I have managed a lovely walk and got a few jobs complete around the house.
I have recently finished book two of Her Majesty Investigates series and wanted to move on to book three but discovered that I owned book four but not book three. This obviously meant a little book shopping and as I had a few books to preorder I thought I would add it to the order.
Only one book bought this week.
I’m hoping to read this book in February as I can’t wait to get reading the series again.

Hello!
This week I spent a few days in Bath and of course this resulted in book shopping. Bath has some of my favourite bookshops and this always results in a quite a few book purchases.
I bought books from three bookshops.
Mr B’s Emporium
I only bought one book from Mr B’s which was quite restrained. I’ve been wanting a really nice edition of the Hogfather by Terry Pratchett for ages and I really want to re read over Christmas.
Topping and Company Booksellers
I got distracted by the Christmas books again and I bought two new ones. I’m really not sure I will manage to read all these Christmas books over December as the pile is getting higher and higher. However, I do keep reading Christmas books until January 6th so I might manage to finish the pile.
Samantha Shannon and Silvia Moreno-Garcia are two of my favourite authors so I was quite excited to get these pretty hardbacks.
Persephone Books
I only bought two Persephone books and another is a Christmas gift. I was hoping to buy a few more but sadly the shop was full of hyacinths. As pretty as hyacinths are I am also highly allergic and was really struggling to breathe so it was a quick in and out of the shop.
I bought:
Little Boy Lost by Marghanita Laski
William – An Englishman by Cicely Hamilton
My TBR pile is getting bigger and bigger but I’m really hoping I can get loads of reading done this month.

Hello!
I took advantage of the Waterstones Black Friday deals and over the last few days the orders have been arriving. A lot of the books are presents but I did buy a few for myself. So here are the ones which have arrived and are for me.
Every year a get a different edition of The Nutcracker to read and this is the edition I have chosen for this year. My husband wants to read it as well this year because we went to see the ballet which was amazing but he has never read the book.
I have read a few of Miranda Hart’s books and some I have loved and some I have struggled with. I am really hoping this will be one of the ones I love because I love Miranda Hart and how down to earth and real she is.
I still have a few books left to arrive so watch this space for another update!

Hello!
I was rather naughty this week and went book shopping. I did however have a book voucher so I had the perfect excuse. My local independent local bookshop has a brilliant loyalty scheme where if you collect ten stamps you get a £10 voucher. I had a voucher so I thought it was high time to spend it.
I love the poetry books compiled by Allie Esiri so I was really pleased to see there is one for Christmas. I’m looking forward to starting this on the 1st December.
I’ve always been interested by Catherine De’ Medici but don’t know much about her so I was quite excited to see this book by Mary Hollingsworth on the bookshelves. There was only one copy and apparently it had literally only just been put on the shelves that day so I was quite pleased to have gone in just at the right time.

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!
I have had two books this week arrive from Waterstones that I had preordered and my birthday was on Sunday so I also had some lovely books.
Waterstones
I am busily preparing my Christmas reading and these are two the first to be added to the list. I actually bought the Susanna Clarke for my husband but I am hoping I can borrow it.
Birthday Presents
I collect editions of The Lord of the Rings and I was lucky to receive a 50th Anniversary edition that I don’t own. I also received a Folio Society edition of Jaws. As some of you know I am a little bit obsessed with Alison Weir so my wonderful husband bought me one of her books that has been on my wish list for ages.
I also received a book voucher so I will be visiting a local bookshop and buying more books soon!

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I have had a busy day playing for a wedding and prepping music for harvest festival tomorrow.
I had a preordered book arrive this week. I will be honest I ordered this book because it looked really pretty and I love Christmas themed books.
I can’t wait to read it and look at the beautiful illustrations over Christmas.

Hello!
I have only bought one book this week and it was a book that I had preordered so it was a nice surprise when it arrived.
I started the Joubert Family Chronicles whilst on holiday last year and really enjoyed the books so I am looking forward to continuing with the series.
