This was one of the books I bought while I was supposed to be ‘only browsing’ a couple of weeks ago. It was one of Waterstones monthly features when I bought it and the chap who served me on the till told me that he was currently reading and enjoying it. Synopsis (as taken from…

Book Fanatic. Seriously, I might have a problem, there are too many TBR books in my house.
Outside of books, I'm just a normal woman living in the UK. My name is Hannah. I love playing on my Xbox (the Assassin's Creed series being a favourite of mine), I love colouring and have now amassed 30 colouring books. I love cooking and baking (especially cheesecakes) and experimenting with recipes on Pinterest. I love dogs, I have two Italian Greyhounds, Freddie who is twelve and a anti-social gentleman and Luca who is two and a crazy blur of beige. I am also a self confessed stationery addict and a member of Slytherin (I dare you to come for me!)
71. With Our Blessing (An Inspector Tom Reynolds Mystery) by Jo Spain
This was another ‘read the first of a series for 99p’ on Kindle. I was drawn in by the blurb and stayed for the story. It was one of those reads that lingers long after I’d finished it. I learnt so much while reading this and it was a good first novel in that it…
70. The Murder of Patience Brooke by J.C. Briggs
I was desperate to read this book after I read the blurb and realised that Charles Dickens would be lending a hand in the investigation!! Synopsis (as taken from the Amazon Kindle Store is as follows: London, 1849 Charles Dickens has set up Urania Cottage as a sanctuary for fallen women. But he is shocked…
69. The Garden of Lost Secrets by A. M. Howell
Another book bought when I should have only been ‘browsing.’ Synopsis (as taken from the back of the book) is as follows: October, 1916. Clara has been sent to stay with her aunt and uncle while England is at war. But when she reaches their cottage on an enormous country estate, Clara is plunged into…
68. The Secret Dragon by Ed Clarke
Another book from the ‘I shouldn’t have bought books while waiting for a hair appointment’ haul. Synopsis (as taken from the back of the book) is as follows: So if you’re not an animal that’s alive today, and you’re not an animal that’s extinct either, what on earth are you? Mari Jones is desperate to…
67. Scavengers by Darren Simpson
This was another book I picked up when I shouldn’t have been buying books waiting for my hair appointment! This one sounded interesting so I just had to read it. Synopsis (as taken from the back of the book) is as follows: Landfill has lived his whole life as a scavenger, running with wooflings, swimming…
66. Lost by Eve Ainsworth
I had my hair done last week, mostly to hide my growing patch of grey but also because my natural colour is quite dull. I told myself I was just going to browse the bookshop to kill time before my appointment but I ended up buying 6 books. If there is a ‘addicted to books’…
65. A Kingdom of Exiles (The Outcast Series) by S. B. Nova
This is one of those books where the hype around it had gotten so big and I kept seeing it featured on Instagram and in bookshops but I wasn’t sure if the hype would be worth it or even if I’d enjoy the book. I decided to get it on Kindle Unlimited, knowing that if…
64. The Umbrella Mouse by Anna Fargher
Last weekend I went to see my Granny for lunch with both my parents. Afterwards we went to the bookshop where I picked up six books. I managed to sneak past both my parents but as I was making my way to the till, my Granny spotted me and called out in a shocked/chastising manner…
63. Illusion by Stephanie Elmas
I found this on Kindle under the ‘recommended for you’ tab. I had to take the picture under my desk at work (the only place I could picture it without getting a reflection on the screen.) Illusion became a hidden gem for me, a story I wouldn’t have read otherwise and I’m so glad I…
