Favourite book this month: Nora Goes Off Script. Just such a delight
Most read author: If we’re counting the audiobook rereads, Ngaio Marsh because I’m relistening to Alleyn in order, but if we’re not – probably Diane Mott Davison as I’ve read one book by her and started a second and that’s the only repeat on the list!
Books bought: five ebooks, a preorder, six actual books. Modest for me….

A good month in reading all in all. Lots of variety – I finished the Meg Langslow reread at the start of the month and then went on to read a really wide variety of authors (for once), including a some new-to-me cozy crime authors and a couple of delightful romances.
Bonus picture: I’ve had a bad couple of months with my plant collection, so no pictures of that but instead of the selection at one of my local garden centres which gave me some ideas for what I want to get next (be afraid Him Indoors) as well as just looking totally tropical and really inspiring!
*includes some short stories/novellas/comics/graphic novels – including 1 this month
