Monthly Wrap-Up May 2016

May has been a really busy month for me and my family, we've had loads of birthday parties to attend which has been lovely but hasn't left as much time for reading. We've also being spending a lot of time in our vegetable garden which is now full of little vegetable plants and seedlings.

So here are the books I've managed to finish reading this month:

   

  

This month I have yet again been sent some fabulous book from publishers:

       

 

Massive thank you to all the publishers and authors which have sent me books this month, I'm really looking forward to reading all of them.

Once again I've gone crazy on Netgalley, surprise, surprise! Requesting all the fabulous books is becoming an addiction and I really need to find a away to read at least three times faster to catch up. So here is the massive list that's made it onto my Kindle this month:

               
       

I'm currently reading:

   

As you can see I haven't read much more of most of these so this month I'm challenging myself to finish all of these. I'd also like to try and push myself and finish ten books this month, which should be quite hard as I've been averaging seven books a month but we'll see.

And finally onto my book of the month which has to be:

I absolutely love everything about Angela Marsons' D.I Stone novels, for me they are crime perfection and her latest Play Dead was just as good as her previous three, I'm just sad now as I've read them all.

So until next month Happy Reading

Monthly Wrap Up April 2016

As you can tell from the lack of posts in April I have found reviewing very hard this month. I just don't seem to be able to do justice to the books I've read. Which has left me with about ten reviews which are all half written, I really need to find some mojo and finish so I can share my thoughts.

Anyway here's what I've managed to read this month:

        

I'm glad to say this month I haven't been sent too my physical books by publishers as I really want to try and clear some off my tbr pile. Here's what I've received:

      

Again this month Netgalley has been my downfall, I just love that site and wish so much I could read faster! Here's what I've been lucky enough to add to my kindle:

    
   

This month I would probably have finished more books except I've been dipping in and out of a number of different books, here's what I'm currently reading:

      

Quite a selection don't you think but I'm finding some are best read at night and some are not as they're a little creepy.

So finally my book of the month for April has to be

I adored this book but I'm really struggling with writing the review as I just can't seem to do it justice. All I can say is go and buy this wonderful book  and lose yourself in the village of Talting and Rose's world and I'll try finish my review this month!
