The Week in Books: July 17 – July 23

Did I stay awake way later than I should have on Sunday night to finish a book? Absolutely I did. Do I regret it? Well yes and no: I’m glad I finished the book, I wish I had had more sleep but I wouldn’t go back and change it! For the rest of it, it was a reasonable week – a couple of books I really liked and then some I didn’t. Anyway, I’m about to hit a few really busy weeks – I’ve got a couple of nights out this week coming and work is very busy too so we’ll see what that does to the lists.

Whisper it quietly, but I did not buy any books. I know. I’m as astonished as you are. I did however receive an order from Words and Kisses that I put in a week or two back so it doesn’t feel like I didn’t buy anything!

Bonus photo: the alpacas that I pass on the train every day. They’re my favourite part of the commute and I have tried repeatedly to get a good picture of them and this is the best I have managed!
