It is a hot summer day here in my little corner of New Zealand. It is not often that you will hear me say this, but it’s actually too hot to be out in the garden. It was the same yesterday, and apparently we have a whole week of this lovely weather to look forward to. Bring on summer…this is my kind of weather. It is lovely sitting out on the deck in the shade, my book in one hand and a nice cold drink in the other.
I actually squeezed an extra book in last week
Which I read last night. Watch for my review.
I am about to begin
And I am listening to
the follow up to The Lilac Girls.
This week I am planning on reading
When Nick’s wife Kerry falls ill and dies, he realises for the first time how fragile his happiness has always been, and how much he’s been taking his good life and wonderful family for granted. Now, he suddenly finds himself navigating parenthood alone, unsure how to deal with his own grief, let alone that of his teenage son, Olly.
In the depths of his heartbreak, Nick must find a way to navigate life that pleases his son, his in-laws, his family and his friends—while honouring what Kerry meant to them all. But when it comes to his own emotions, Nick doesn’t know where to begin. Kerry was his childhood sweetheart—but was she really the only one who could ever make him happy?
And in the aftermath of tragedy, can Nick and his son find themselves again?
And hopefully I will also be able to start
Louise Bridges has the perfect life.
A loving husband, Patrick. Two adorable children. A comfortable home.
So when PC Becca Holt arrives to break the news that Patrick has been killed in an accident, she thinks Louise’s perfect world is about to collapse around her.
But Louise doesn’t react in the way Becca would expect her to on hearing of her husband’s death. And there are only three plates set out for dinner as if Louise already knew Patrick wouldn’t be home that night…
The more Becca digs, the more secrets she uncovers in the Bridges’ marriage – and the more she wonders just how far Louise would go to get what she wants…
Is Louise a loving wife – or a cold-hearted killer?
And I have seven new ARCs from Netgalley….well what can I say? There are currently just so many tempting titles out there begging to be read. And those of you who know me well will know that I can resist everything but temptation 🤣😂🤣😂
I also bought two books this week…
So I had better go get some reading done! I hope you got some lovely books to read this week….
Happy reading my friends
❤😍📚

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the audiobook of Lost Roses. Some great books coming up for you. There are a couple I need to check out. Enjoy your day and wonderful weather. Any issues with smoke for you right now?

Am 20% into it, and not enjoying it like I did The Lilac Girls…..still plenty of time for it to improve though. It’s been a bit hazy, but nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be. Back at work today. On my lunch break right now. Happy reading my friend. 🤗🤗❤😍📚

I got it from the library and read the first few chapters then had to return it. I have not been rushing to get it again, so was curious. Keep me posted.

I went to my library last night and she asked me if I wanted it as I had requested it, but never picked it up, I told her I would pass. Glad I did. Sorry it wasn’t what you expected.
