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.

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.

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. My day has been particularly exhausting but I have worked out a good reading routine whilst at school. I can average half a page of reading whilst I’m waiting for my next student to arrive and I must admit it soon adds up.
My chosen book to feature this week is one I picked up in Hay-on-Wye during the Summer. I thought it would the perfect read for October so I’m hoping I manage to read it this month. If it gets cold enough I might even manage to read it in front of a nice fire.
This is a book to be read by a blazing fire on a winter’s night, with the curtains drawn close and the doors securely locked.
The unquiet souls of the dead, both as fictional creations and as ‘real’ apparitions, roam the pages of this haunting new selection of ghost stories by Rex Collings. Some of these stories are classics while others are lesser-known gems unearthed from this vintage era of tales of the supernatural.
There are stories from distant lands – Fisher’s Ghost by John Lang is set in Australia and A Ghostly Manifestation by ‘A Clergyman’ is set in Calcutta. In this selection, Sir Walter Scott (a Victorian in spirit if not in fact), keeps company with Edgar Allen Poe, Sheridan Le Fanu and other illustrious masters of the genre.

I’m going to try this TBR thing again. September went really badly as I actually didn’t read one single book off my planned TBR. I did read a book by one of the authors just not the one I had planned. I am a mood reader so planning my reads never works out brilliantly but I usually manage a couple of planned reads, but not in September it would seem. I am really hoping I manage some in October as I have some spooky reads planned!
Books I hope to read in October
Last month was a fantastic reading month for me so I’m really hoping October will prove to be as good.

Hello!
Reading has gone better today, the hour and twenty minute lunch break sat in my car always helps with my reading on Wednesdays.
What I am Currently Reading
I have just started this and I am finding it fascinating. It is really making me see the concept of the Greek gods differently.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I do love my Dr Ruth Galloway books and this one did not disappoint. Hetty Dorval was an interesting read and a fab introduction to Ethel Wilson.
What I Think I will Read Next
I’m not sure why but I’m still being drawn to more nonfiction reading than fiction. This is quite unusual for me especially when work is in full swing as I usually find fiction more relaxing.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My reading has been reasonably good so far this week. I’m hoping to finish one more book before the end of the month.
What I am Currently Reading
I needed a comfort read this week so I went to my favourite book series. Dr Ruth Galloway never fails to bring a smile to my face.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I could not put The Beautiful Ones down and I think it must be one of my favourite reads for 2023. I really enjoyed Kings and Queens by Tony Robinson, it was quite interesting to read a book about the monarchy by someone who is clearly quite anti-monarchy.
What I Think I will Read Next
As per usual I have no idea what I will be reading next but here are some possibilities.

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week so far. Mine has been super busy with teaching so sadly I have only managed to read the grand total of 4 pages so far today.
My chosen book this week is one by one of my favourite authors, Martha Wells. I absolutely love her books and can’t wait to read this one.
After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well.
But why was Kai imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence?
Kai will need to pull his allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these questions.
He’s not going to like the answers.

My chosen book to feature this week is one that I have only recently added to my Goodreads TBR. I’m really looking forward to reading it soon.
A compelling, authoritative account of the brilliant, conflicted, visionary world of Tudor England
When Henry VII landed in a secluded bay in a far corner of Wales, it seemed inconceivable that this outsider could ever be king of England. Yet he and his descendants became some of England’s most unforgettable rulers, and gave their name to an age. The story of the Tudor monarchs is as astounding as it was unexpected, but it was not the only one unfolding between 1485 and 1603.
In cities, towns, and villages, families and communities lived their lives through times of great upheaval. In this comprehensive new history, Lucy Wooding lets their voices speak, exploring not just how monarchs ruled but also how men and women thought, wrote, lived, and died. We see a monarchy under strain, religion in crisis, a population contending with war, rebellion, plague, and poverty. Remarkable in its range and depth, Tudor England explores the many tensions of these turbulent years and presents a markedly different picture from the one we thought we knew.
