Hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey

I lost my reading mojo in the last fortnight but it’s picking back up now. Really feel like I’ve a lot of unfinished books on the go that I do want to finish at some point but now isn’t the right time. Although I can’t put my finger on what books are working for me right now, which doesn’t help!

A few weeks ago I joined Gav and Simon on The Readers podcast to talk about Lucy Wood’s wonderful short story collection, Diving Belles. Yes, I did forget to include it in the last update! I’m also on the Curiosity Quills blog spotlight answering a few questions about books and blogging.
