Definitely impulse buying! I haven’t read that much this week, so I haven’t had much to post, especially on insta. I have been steaming through my Kindle books and thought that seeing as I only have 31 books left to read in my library, that I’d buy 6 more. I know, I know, I’m an insane idiot and book buying obsessive but I feel no guilt over these 6 purchases, only smugness at being able to read more books!
I have had a run of disappointing sequels recently and am eager to discover more series that can hold my attention.
Below I’ll put the blurb of each book. If you’ve read any, let me know your thoughts below. Any particular one I should read first?
As D.C. Jennifer Knight investigates a routine stabbing in the quiet town of Haven, she is shocked at what seems like a personal message from beyond the grave.
When more bodies are found, Jennifer is convinced the killings are somehow linked. What she discovers is more chilling than she could possibly imagine. The murders mirror those of the notorious Grim Reaper – from over twenty years ago. A killer her mother helped convict.
Jennifer can no longer ignore the personal connection. Is there a copycat killer at work? Was the wrong man convicted? Or is there something more sinister at play …
With her mother’s terrifying legacy spiralling out of control, Jennifer must look into her own dark past in a fight not only to stop a killer – but to save herself and those she loves.

Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class of people in Ikhara. Ten years ago, her mother was snatched by the royal guards, and her fate remains unknown.

Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she’s willing to go for justice and revenge.

DI Naylor knows that unless those who took Evan are caught, other children are in danger. And with Evan silent, she must race against time to find those responsible…
I’m taking a chance on ‘Girls of Paper and Fire’ because that genre is one I haven’t really touched upon since I was a teenager and a genre that I get easily annoyed with. However, I have heard a lot of good things about this book and hopefully it lives up to the hype.
The other five books are ones that Amazon Kindle keeps recommending to me and I decided to finally take the plunge and see what they were all about. All six books captivated me with the blurb, so I hope that the actual story lives up to the expectation the blurbs give and that I don’t end up disappointed or uninterested.
I read my Kindle books without an agenda. I pick at random depending on what I feel like on the day. My goal for November is to read all the children’s books I have lying around in my room, but in terms of Kindle, I’ll just see where my mood takes me.
