It was payday this week so I treated myself to four trolley jumpers from Tesco.
Blue Eyed Boy by Joanne Harris: I didn’t hugely love Chocolat like other people so I’m looking forward to seeing her other style of writing.
Random by Craig Robertson: A debut crime novel and the title seemed appropriate for my shopping spree.
The Iron Witch by Karon Mahoney: Pretty cover drew me in and it’s been recommended via Goodreads to me a few times.
Looking For Alaska by John Green: Well the YA books were BOGOF so I had to get another one. Has had good reviews.
Also a couple of mooches came in, Stray by Rachel Vincent, first in an urban fantasy series and The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult which has illustrations!

Just let me dust off this blog thing, I have a review for you! One of my anticipated reads released during lockdown was the follow-up to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. If you read that, of course will will be dying to know what happened to…
Two YA books, awesome! By the way, your photography is amazing. =^.^=
I have Stray but haven't got round to reading it yet, I read the Iron Witch but it didn't agree with me, same as Looking For Alaska. Oh and I haven't got round to reading The Tenth Circle either but I so have that one! xD
Oooh lovely! Not a fan of Chocolat either, but I loved Gentlemen and Players – I'll be interested to hear what you think of this one! I didn't get on with The Tenth Circle, but her books are Marmite for me – some I love and some I can't finish!
I'm really glad to know that I'm not the only one who didn't like Chocolat. It's one of the only books I've read where I preferred the movie.
