Thank you so much to VERVE Books for my copy of #SendFlowers by Emily Buchanan which is out on 9th July. I knew I wanted to read it as soon as I heard about it, so am thrilled to have a copy.



When you don’t want to think about your first Father’s Day without your Dad, of course you buy books. Thank you Catherine Taylor jenny mustard Bookish chat for recommending #ToRestOurMindsandBodies #TheFriend and #LonesomeDove respectively, and everyone telling me to read #TheNames

I am so pleased that #WhenTheCranesFlySouth by Lisa Ridzén has been shortlisted! I was lucky enough to review it for nb. Magazine and if you want to know why you need to meet Bo and Sixten, please read this to see why this novel meant so much to me. nbmagazine.co.uk/editorialarchi…

Happy Publication Day to Wendy Erskine for #TheBenefactors which is out from Sceptre Books I think it’s one of the best novels I have read this year. Here is my review to tell you why. Thank you so much Louise Court and Sceptre Books for my copy. instagram.com/p/DLE6d4PIDnb/…


Thank you so much to Hope and 4th Estate Books for my copy of #OneOfUs which is the new novel from Elizabeth Day out in September. Elizabeth’s brilliant novel #TheParty was one of the first books I ever blogged about, and am thrilled that Martin and Ben are back!


Thank you ever so much to Francesca Main and Phoenix Books for my copy of #SaltwaterMansions by David Whitehouse - I know Nina Pottell and Jennie Godfrey loved it and I will too. This is my next read, and if you haven’t read David’s previous book #AboutASon I would so recommend it.


Happy Publication Day to #BethMorrey for #IsabellasNotDead from HarperFiction HarperCollinsUK Thank you so much to Lipfon for my finished copy - I have read and loved each of Beth’s novels, so know I am in for a real treat (and a huge amount of laughing too!)!


Thank you so much to Isabelle and Hutchinson Heinemann for my fabulous finished copy of #TheHounding by #XenobePurvis which is out on 26 June. This is the story of the five Mansfield sisters and what happens when one Summer a rumour about them comes to light.


Well #Booktwitter I can absolutely confirm that #SaltwaterMansions by David Whitehouse is as brilliant as everyone has told me. I’m on chapter four already and am so intrigued about what happened to Caroline Lane! Thank you so much to Francesca Main and Phoenix Books for my copy.
