I hate it when my tummy does this - totally fine one minute and then a cement filled football the next 🤦🏻‍♀️
Really enjoyed this - for those (like me) who were bereft when we left Ruth behind there’s a new gang to fall in love with. I can’t wait to revisit Ali and Dina and Bud and John in the next in the series 🥰
And I loved the combination of time travel and crime - added loads of intrigue and twists 🤓

Ooo! The top one is the new TJ Klune? And the middle one might be a new fantasy book I can’t remember the name of?! 😂
The books I read in January 📖🥰📚
This has been a great reading month - not a single dud 🤓
My highlights were The Last Gifts of the Universe, Yeonnam-dong’s Smiley Landromat, and The Wild Robot 😍
These plus ebooks, I read 18 books in January 🥳

I have bought books because an author has shouted about it on social media - and I’m not sure why that feels different to a blurb on the book itself 🤷🏻‍♀️
Maybe it’s that they are all just super positive in generally quite a generic way so the meaning becomes lost 🫠
The whole blurb thing is interesting. As an author I was so delighted when people I admired read my book and said lovely things about it, and I love shouting about other people’s books. However, as a reader an author blurb has never propelled me to buy a book 🤷🏻‍♀️
Working in on line edits for Martin and Stern three now (which I HATE) and Odie has refused to trade jobs - you’d think one day of me napping while he edits would be okay but NO 🤷🏻‍♀️
Always in awe of the people who save up their Waterstones points and go on an epic book shopping spree at the end of the year/on their birthday but I will always be a person who redeems them at the earliest possible moment 😂
One edit done, onto the next 🤓
This was a quick structural edit and next up is a close line by line, which I HATE but it does make the writing sharper so has to be done 🫠
