This Week in Books 26.08.2015

Welcome to my weekly post, where I sum-up what I’ve been up to in bookland the past week.

Now: Beneath the Lake ~ Christopher Ransom // The Turning Test ~ Chris Beckett

I’m liking Beneath the Lake so far – and intrigued to see where it goes. I’m still going on The Turing Test too, which is my lunch time read.

Then: Memoirs of a Dipper ~ Nell Leyshon

I’ve kind of fallen behind on reviews again but will hopefully get back on track and post about this soon. The talk she did at my work was amazing; really inspiring.

Next: ???

It’s back to the review request pile, so the next one will be This Crumbling Pageant by Patricia Burroughs.

I’m Waiting On…

The Christmas We Met ~ Kate Lord Brown

Seriously guys, I’m already so excited about the prospect of some festive reading! The Summer can bore off now.

A gorgeous winter tale about the secrets revealed by a collection of family jewels.

A talented young jewellery designer fights to rebuild her life and family by solving the mystery surrounding a diamond brooch given to her by her grandmother.

When Grace Manners takes up residence on the Wittering Manor estate in Sussex, she little realizes working alongside eccentric Fraser Stratton will change her life.

Since her husband disappeared, along with most of their money, Grace has struggled to make ends meet and the little cottage on the estate is both a refuge and a workshop for her jewellery business. It’s only when Grace begins to uncover the story behind a beautiful diamond brooch she inherited that she becomes drawn into a family secret that threatens to destroy what little she has left…

Welcome to my weekly post, where I sum-up what I’ve been up to in bookland the past week.

Now: Memoirs of a Dipper ~ Nell Leyshon // The Turning Test ~ Chris Beckett

Nell Leyshon is doing a talk and Q&A session in the prison library I work in tomorrow so I thought I better check out her book. I’m really enjoying it and hopefully tomorrow will go well!

The Turing Test is my lunch time read – it’s pretty insane. In a good way.

Then: My Soul Immortal ~Jen Printy

This was such an addictive, quick read. Loved it! My review will be up next week.

Next: ???

It’s back to the review request pile, so the next one will be This Crumbling Pageant by Patricia Burroughs.

Vengeance Road ~ Erin Bowman

The cover drew me to this one!

When Kate Thompson’s father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there’s room for love in a heart so full of hate.

In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.
