Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I am really looking forward to half term next week, I’m hoping it will mean lots of reading time and some adventures.
I’ve received two books this week both of which I am very excited about to read.
Klova by Karen Langston – This sounds like a really different read for me and one that intrigues me. Hopefully I get around to reading it soon.
The Hedgerow by Anne Leigh Parrish – I love the cover of this book and I am hoping the book is just as beautiful because I really like the sound of the blurb.

Hello!
I am really not doing well on the book buying at the moment. My resolution this year was to not buy too many books and this month I just haven’t been able to stop.
I went to Ironbridge this week and visited the second hand bookshop there and found a book that has been on my wish list for a long time. I have wanted to read this book for ages so now I have no excuse because I own a copy. It is also one of the books on my Classics Club list.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I have been busy with my Etsy shop today so sadly haven’t managed much reading but hopefully I will manage some later.
I have bought three books today. Two I have already posted about in my Cambridge Waterstones post.
I have already started reading A Gentleman in Moscow and I am absolutely loving it.
Stacey Halls is an auto buy author for me so I’ve had this preordered since December. I really hope this book will be as good as Halls previous books.

Hello!
So the restricted book buying has completely gone out of the window this month which is worrying as we are still at the beginning of the month. However, I have been in Bath and that is always fatal as Bath has some of my favourite bookshops.
First up are the books I bought at Persephone Books.
I am completely obsessed with Dorothy Whipple so I was determined to get more of her books from the Persephone book collection.
They Knew Mr Knight by Dorothy Whipple
Greenbanks by Dorothy Whipple
They Were Sisters by Dorothy Whipple
Books from Waterstones
The Three-Body Problem by Cicin Liu – My husband really wants to read this book but we could not get a copy as every bookshop seemed to have sold out. However, after ducking into Waterstones to avoid the rain we managed to get a copy. I also plan on reading it once my husband has read it.
Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland – I quite enjoyed Sistersong so I thought I would give Holland’s next book a read as well.
Mr B’s Emporium
What the Greeks Did for Us by Tony Spawforth – I love anything to do with Ancient Greek’s so when I spied this book I knew it was a book I needed to read.
The Book of Days by Francesca Kay – I haven’t read anything by Francesca Kay but this book looked interesting so I thought I would give it a read.
Life, Death and Disease in the Middle Ages and Beyond by Professor Alice Roberts – I wrote quite a few essays on ancient diseases and death practices in Ancient Greece and Rome so I’m quite interested to see what they were like in the Middle Ages.
Topping and Company Booksellers
Queens of the Crusades by Alison Weir – I love Alison Weir and I am always on the hunt for books that I haven’t read yet so I was quite excited when I spotted this.
Adam Bede by George Eliot – I am trying to read all of George Eliot’s published works and this one is on my list to read next.
Dying of the Light by George R. R. Martin – I am really enjoying Martin’s sci-fi books so far so I am quite excited to read this next.
Tuf Voyaging by George R. R. Martin – Another Martin book to read.
The Book Forger by Jospeh Hone – This was actually my husband’s choice but I fully intend to read it as well.
I have one more week left off from teaching so I hope I might get a lot more reading done and I might tackle some of my new books.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I have had a lovely weekend so far which has involved a lot of reading. Two books finished in the space of two days is extremely good for me. I have also managed some more time working in the garden which has been great to get some fresh air.
I had another preordered book arrive this week which I am very excited about. This is a new author for me but the book looks really interesting.
I have two weeks off planned at the beginning of April and this is definitely one of my planned reads for my time off.

Hello!
I’ve been really good so far this month with my book buying and I have only bought one book so far, which arrived this week. I am currently reading Blade Breaker so I am hoping to get to this book once I finish it. I am really enjoying this series so far so I thought I had better buy the next book so it is ready to read.

Hello!
I have been book buying which is very naughty and going against my plan for less book buying this year. On Thursday I went to Ely for the first time and discovered Toppings. Now as you all know I love Toppings in Bath so obviously I had to see the Ely branch. This led to buying some books. Two books I bought for my husband and two I bought for myself.
The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie – This is my next Agatha Christie read in my challenge so I was quite pleased to find it in the shop.
Nightflyers by George R. R. Martin – I really like Martin’s work and it is nice to read his books that aren’t Game of Thrones related.
I’m really hoping I get around to reading these soon as they are both rather short so shouldn’t take me too long to read.

Hello!
I am still trying to buy less books this year and so far this month I haven’t bought any books but this week a very nice author sent me her book for me to read and review. I am quite excited about this book and hope to get reading it this month.
This book is partially set in Greece so I am very excited because I just love Greece!

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Now, I know I said that 2024 was the year I buy hardly any books and instead read through the books that I own. Well so far that hasn’t gone exactly according to plan. In my defence these books were bought in my new independent local bookshop which I hadn’t visited yet and wanted to support. February will be a better month for not buying books but my new local bookshop does have a loyalty card scheme so all hope on that front might now be lost.
Anyway, to the books!
365 Poems for Life – I love these poetry books compiled by Allie Esiri and I now own several of them so when I saw this new one I knew I had to have it and so far it does not disappoint.
A Death in Diamonds by S. J. Bennett – I have read the first book in this series and my husband has read the second book but not the first so between us we are going well with the series. Hopefully, I will read more of this series this year.
The Shadow King by Harry Sidebottom – This is a new author for me but I loved the sound of the book so I bought it and hope to read it soon.

Hello!
This year I am trying to buy less books and read the books off my backlist. However, I have preordered some books so I have some nice surprises through the year. Two books arrived this week one was a preorder and the other was my little splurge in the Waterstones sale.
An Extra Pair of Hands by Kate Mosse – I really like Kate Mosse’s work but I have gotten on better with her fiction rather than her nonfiction so I thought I would give her nonfiction another go.
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Bettany Hughes – I love the documentaries that Bettany Hughes does so I thought it was high time I read one of her books. I preordered this a while ago and I am really looking forward to reading it soon.
My plan this year is also to read new books as quickly as possible and not have them sit around unread for years. I really hope I stick to it!
