MONTHLY/WEEKEND UPDATE: #AmReading #AmBlogging #TheFoundling #TheMirrorAndTheLight #LaurenPailingDied #Links

I have enjoyed a small blogging break – I take them often and although I have been reading other blogs and commenting I haven’t written many of my own posts. I just need a break sometimes, don’t we all!?

I now have a LOAD of reviews to write and after my wee break I am back in the mood. We have a quiet weekend planned so I intend to sit attached to my laptop for most of this afternoon.

I currently have the latest Pet Sematary film on the in the background, have you seen it? It’s creepy so far! I’ve also never read that book by S.King – YET!

On READING –

After a pretty bad reading tally in Dec and Jan – I have finally found my reading MOJO!

And I have read fantastic book after fantastic book and I am caught up with most of my blog tour books – a first for me! I’m usually panic reading a few days before my post is due. But, I plan to be (sum-what) organised in 2020 – Famous last words?!? 🙂 🙂 🙂

And in REAL life…

My gorgeous daughter had a birthday. She had a party. And I had a houseful of children, which was good fun but I am still finding glitter everywhere. Absolutely. Everywhere.

And a few days after that she scared the crap out of me when she was spinning about the living room and fell over and landed on her wrist. One trip to A&E later and she is fine but bandaged. Did you know that children’s bones can bend as well as fracture? I didn’t! Bones shouldn’t bend! It is bad. And sore. But she is home and being spoiled rotten.

Her biggest concern was she couldn’t play football for several weeks.

ALSO I was super impressed with the range of cast colours available and the nurse even had extra sparkles to add it it.

The NHS are AMAZING! #Grateful

Here on my blog:

Well, as I mentioned already February has been ALL about reading and very little blogging. I am working on that and I have a list of reviews to write and other blog posts to pull together and who knows I might even get something scheduled. Scheduled posts are the dream!

My one review in February was of the FANTASTIC book – The Foundling by Stacey Halls

I posted one Can’t wait Wed post featuring – The Mirror and the light by Hilary Mantel I Am SUPER excited about my copy arriving next week!

And my only other blog post was a FIRST IMPRESSIONS post of The First Time Laura Pailing Died by Alyson Rudd

Who knows I might even make 4 or 5 posts next month 😀

Links that I’ve enjoyed and recommend:

I have only a few links because I am TERRIBLE at remembering to do this! I have read so many amazing blog posts and book reviews over the last few weeks and I have only highlighted a few. A tiny, tiny few. I will try and be better next month as I LOVE sharing the #bookblog love.

• A great review of The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary by Joanne over at Portobello Book Blog

• The second book in the series by Karen M. McManus – One of us is next – a book that had Paper Fury hooked.

• A review of Truth Hurts by Rebecca Reid – A steamy psychological thriller that Gemma over at Gem’s Quiet Corner loved.

• A fantastic review of a book I LOVED too – The unlikely escape of Uriah Heep over at Nicki’s lovely blog – The secret library.

• A review of The Guest list from Book After Book – I loved it too.

I hope everyone has a LOVELY weekend!
