Welcome to my Sheena is Writing Blog
For my first post I'm kicking things off with a whistle-stop tour of all the books I read in 2023. It seemed as as good a place to start as any. I'm planning for the articles on my blog to be all about reading and writing fiction. So if that's your thing, watch this space.
Okay, strap yourselves in. Oh, and by the way, some of the titles I've reviewed in my newsl Read more of this blog post »

My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney
"⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ (4.5 stars)

My Husband’s Wife kept me guessing from beginning to end. There were so many twists and turns I felt dizzy!
