Reviews and ramblings from my pages…
My Instagram book club, @criminallygoodbookclub, voted on The Au Pair as our January book - a brilliant book choice to kick off the year! Seraphine Mayes and her brother Danny are known as the summer-born Summerbournes: the first set of summer twins to be born at Summerbourne House. But on the day they were born … Continue reading Book Review: The Au Pair by Emma Rous
Happy New Year! As is tradition (started last year), my first post of 2019 is a look back over last year, in books. Although I'm going to style it a bit differently this year, I hope you enjoy it! 146 books read this year, considerably lower than the 199 books I managed last year. However, … Continue reading My Year in Books: 2018
August was a considerably calmer month than July, which I am incredibly grateful for.

NOW MANY YEARS LATER, THE KILLER SEEMS TO BE BACK. AND THIS TIME HE’S AFTER MATT. When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were … Continue reading Book Review: Beware the Past by Joy Ellis
I really hoped we could have an extra week of May; June, and July, are set to be busy months for me, and I'm just not ready for them yet! I read 16 books this month, which I'm really pleased about - I was hoping for 20 as I had quite a bit of free … Continue reading May 2018: #WrapUp
I’ve been in such a weird reading mood lately where I haven’t wanted to read anything; Don’t Wake Up is May’s Criminally Good Book Club pick, and as that’s my book club on Instagram, I kinda needed to read this one this month. Having already had it on my Kindle, I added audible narration to … Continue reading Audiobook Review: Don’t Wake Up by Liz Lawler (Narrated by Zara Ramm)
