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…

Four books is good going, Ellie! Have a great week again. With all the rain (assuming you had that as well) you can probably spend some extra time reading.
I just read your review of The Beast of the Carmargue as I recalled interest in it when reading your post last week. I may have to look this one up.
I haven't heard of these but they sound good. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm looking forward to getting to The Magicians. Just started Paul Hoffman's Left Hand of God this week.
Looks like you've had a good week and still enjoying the French read along.
Wow I can't remember when I last read more than 2 in a week, doing well mrs. I am reading Spinal by Koji Suzuki (it is basicaly the follow up to the ring).
I've been seeing more things about the Magicians – I might have to check it out! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Hi – I was getting busy commenting on the reviews and almost forgot to comment here. Your reading looks varied which is fun. Have a wonderful reading week!
Oo. The Magicians was fantastic – have you gotten a copy of The Magician King yet?
Thanks for stopping by today!
I haven't read any of the books you've listed. They all sound good though.
Thanks for visiting.
From London with Love has come up on my radar.
have a good reading week

I have been wanting to read The Magicians for awhile now.
Have a great week.
