The first review couldn’t have summed it up better - ‘A warm, gripping tale of grief, ghosts and murder. Lisa Jewell meets Victorian gothic’ 🖤 #indieauthor 📚💙 🩸📚 🪐📚

Holiday Read Number Four 📚🏖️
Some Japanese Ghosts by Lafcadio Hearn 1850 - 1904.
Many stories are about what happens if you do not do the right thing in your current incarnation.
A few stories definitely had me exclaiming out loud. They may be short but some are very twisted. #booksky 📚💙

I cannot believe it’s just two weeks to go until The Messenger is a real life book that people can have on their shelves 🤩
It’s available to pre order at Amazon AND Waterstones.
When I am home, I’ll give you a little treat in the run up to publication day 😉

Holiday Read Number Three 📚 🏖️
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
An intriguing start to the book had me hooked. A touching story. The book has a restorative quality and I felt very contented once finished. I’ll be looking out for more Ruth Hogan books.

The Secret Van Tams by Carly Bishop
This is a fast paced family drama that’s hard to put down. We follow twenty year old Remi as she becomes comfortable in her own skin and the truths she’s discovered. Sprinkled with Dutch proverbs it was a fun read.

Out with the pooch first thing. Very lucky to have a calming place to walk nearby. Plus it’s blackberry season.
There’s a lot bouncing around in my head right now.
This walk was just the ticket.

Just finished Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson.
This is a book lovers book and although I don’t know all the names mentioned, there are authors and books sprinkled in throughout this story. Being set around a bookshop is total catnip.
Onto my next one. The Twisted Ones by T Kingfisher.

I see loads of great cover reveals but never celebrating the back of the book, where the painfully put together blurb lives 😄
I love the back of my book 😊 as well as the front.
