I managed to read 3 books out of 5 off my March TBR so that was a big improvement on my February TBR. I’m really hoping I can do just as well with my April TBR..
I have two weeks off in April for the Easter holidays so I am planning on getting plenty of reading done in that time. I might even get my Kindle working as well!

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I’ve had a busy day at school but it was lovely to come home and enjoy a nice walk in the sunshine.
My chosen book off my Goodreads TBR is one that has been sat on my TBR for a long time and that I found today. In all honesty I had forgotten I owned it.
The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell
2017: 19 year old Tallulah is going out on a date, leaving her baby with her mother, Kim.
Kim watches her daughter leave and, as late evening turns into night, which turns into early morning, she waits for her return. And waits.
The next morning, Kim phones Tallulah’s friends who tell her that Tallulah was last seen heading to a party at a house in the nearby woods called Dark Place.
She never returns.
2019: Sophie is walking in the woods near the boarding school where her boyfriend has just started work as a head-teacher when she sees a note fixed to a tree.
‘DIG HERE’ . . .
A cold case, an abandoned mansion, family trauma and dark secrets lie at the heart of Lisa Jewell’s remarkable new novel.

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week so far. I have had a busy day of teaching but I have managed a little bit of reading as well.
My chosen book to feature this week is one that I plan to read very soon because I have been waiting for this book to come out for a very long time.
As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.
Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have had a fab day of teaching and reading and managed to finish a book.
I have so many books that I want to read over the next few months so I thought I would take part in today’s Top Ten Tuesday and make a plan for my Spring reading.
Most of these books have been on my TBR for over a year so I’m hoping I can use the Spring to finally read them.

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I have decided to have a look through of what is actually on my Kindle. I much prefer physical books to my Kindle but I’ve always used my Kindle for holidays and so I have collected quite a few books on there which I haven’t read yet or forgotten about.
Belgravia by Julian Fellowes
On the evening of 15 June 1815, the great and the good of British society have gathered in Brussels at what is to become one of the most tragic parties in history – the Duchess of Richmond’s ball. For this is the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, and many of the handsome young men attending the ball will find themselves, the very next day, on the battlefield. For Sophia Trenchard, the young and beautiful daughter of Wellington’s chief supplier, this night will change everything. But it is only twenty-five years later, when the upwardly mobile Trenchards move into the fashionable new area of Belgravia, that the true repercussions of that moment will be felt. For in this new world, where the aristocracy rub shoulders with the emerging nouveau riche, there are those who would prefer the secrets of the past to remain buried…

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I had quite a few cancellations with lessons today so I spent the extra time reading which was lovely. Reading is going really well so far this year I and really hope it continues.
What I am Currently Reading
I will be honest I’m struggling with this book but I am now over half way so I will finish it.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
Agnes Grey was a reread for me and I flew through it. The Frozen People was very different to Griffiths’ usual work and quite intriguing.
What I Think I will Read Next
I’m really not sure what I will read next but one of these might be a possible.
Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I have had a busy day of teaching and making up Etsy orders. A customer selected the Book a Month order and I always love selecting and wrapping up the books for my customer to enjoy.
One of my favourite authors is Philip K. Dick and I am trying to read all of his books. This is one that I recently purchased and is now very near the top of my TBR.
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick
In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late 21st century, tedium can be endured through the drug Can-D, which enables users to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new drug, Chew-Z. It is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by the mysterious Eldritch.
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have had a fab day of reading, walking and relaxing which is just what I wanted after a very busy day and evening yesterday.
My February TBR consisted of 5 books and I managed to read 2 of them but they were both very long books so I was quite pleased with how well I managed.
I am putting some smaller books on my March TBR as February contained mainly big books.
I know a couple of these books are bigger but I am hoping I will manage at least 3 of my planned reads.
