That Dreaded TBR #28
Let’s see if we can get rid of more books, shall we? Most of these have been, for a while, from August 2013, which seems like an exceptionally long time ago now. That was not a good month for me, so maybe I sought comfort by scrolling through Goodreads and pretending I actually had timeContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #28”

Book Review: Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon
Format: DigitalRelease Date: October 27th, 2021 Rating: 3/5 Stars This one was okay, sitting firmly in ‘middling’ for books for me.

Verity’s sister is aContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon”
