It’s definitely heading into winter now. The mornings might be a bit lighter but it’s only temporary and the weather is colder and wetter. And so I’m deep into mystery books because it feels like they suit the season. Last week was fairly calm (especially compared to the week before) and I’m hoping for similar this week. I’ve actually made a proper plan of what I want to read this month, so we will see if I manage to stick to that in any way!
Read:
The Will of the Standing Stones by A G Barnett
The Murder at World’s End by Ross Montgomery*
Dark Horse by Patti Benning
The Case of the Purloined Poodle by Magda Alexander
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

Still reading:
You Had to Be There by Jodie Harsh*
Ritual of Fire by D V Bishop
Pet Shop Boys, Literally by Chris Heath
Well. A couple of impulse purchases because the Helen Ellis was on offer as were some Georgette Heyer detective books, although I only bought one of them. I did manage to resist the Foyles double stamps though, but only because I own most of the paperbacks I might have bought already and I had that preordering spree on Waterstones just a few weeks ago!
