AKA Showcase Sunday
Friday night I went to the pre-launch party for The Book of Life, the final instalment in Deborah Harkness’ All Souls trilogy. The event was sponsored by Glamour magazine so we got a very generous goodie bag, which of course included a hot off the press copy of The Book of Life (reading already) as well as a stay up all night reading kit and other bits and bobs. There was also a raffle at the event and I won a lovely bracelet from Nola Bijoux.
I also bought a fair few books this week. I needed Fairyland for book group and Say My Name was on back order, but then I accidentally bought some stuff from The Works. You know how easily that happens… I also won Bird from Uncorked Thoughts via her Mental Health Awareness Month.

Oh wow! What an amazing goodie bag! The bracelet is gorgeous! I've got A Discovery of Witches sitting on my bookcase, but I still haven't read it yet. I'll definitely need to since everyone seems to love the series.
It's so hard to resist buying books in The Works! Every time I go in I always leave with books.
Great haul, Ellie! Happy reading 🙂
Amazing goodie bag for the book launch – I clearly need to start going to some book launches soon….
And I've heard rave reviews of Cop Town, so look forward to hearing what you think.
