Out This Week: Under the Mistletoe Collection

This is one of those Amazon collections that are free if you’re in Kindle Unlimited and features five novellas from some of the big name romance novels at the moment. So there are stories from Ali Hazelwood, Tessa Bailey, Olivia Dade, Alexandria Bellefleur and Alexis Daria all around a Christmas or holiday theme. Olivia Dade is one of my favourites – and I’ve written about Hazelwood and Bellefleur before, so I’m looking forward to reading these – hopefully at some point in the run up to Christmas – and I’ll try to remember to report back!

Books in the Wild: Latest bumper releases…

I’ve been in Foyles this week – and Gower Streey again and only two weeks on and and a few new things have appeared…

Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir is clinging on in the display but Al Pacino, Malcolm Gladwell and others have taken the rest of the slots.

The biggest change though is that they’ve moved the crime hardbacks, BLCCs and mass market cozy crimes and now we have three cases of horror…

On to Foyles and we’ve got the big name fiction including Nick Harkaway’s Smiley novel and the Ali Smith which I also spotted in Waterstones a couple of days early too.

And all the new crime and thrillers – including the Leonora Natrass I mentioned the other week.

And then the celebrity memoirs. I think we’ve pretty much got them all now, I can only think of one on my list that hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s a bit more niche.

I’ve included this one because I liked the look of the book about women in advertising.

And I know the question you’re all asking. Yes I did buy something. But actually it was in Foyles, as Gower Street didn’t have any of my target books. So that £30 voucher is still in my purse and I’m going back to Piccadilly next week for the big cozy crime section i resisted so valiantly last week…
