Book(s) of the Month - September 2023
I read four books in September, including a couple I rated five stars. Here we go in order of reading…
1. Snowflakes and Sparks by Sophie-Leigh Robbins
This book is full of sweet cosiness and (at least when I bought it) free on Kindle! Brilliant characters, great setting, a bookstore… what more could you ask for? This is a real feel-good book that is perfect for the festive period, or when you just want a hug.
2. The House of Dating Disasters by Angela Pearse
If you love rom coms, you need to read this! Expect: competitive Scrabble, sexy massage, two very different dogs, funny dating shenanigans, one accidental drugging, ‘in love with a man she can’t have’ trope, friendship conflict and resolution and most importantly a HEA!
3. Missing by Ruby Speechley
This one is a thriller I read via Netgalley, and it’s a highly addictive read. Ellie is confronted with accusations that she’s hiding something, spurred on by a fake police poster that implies her son is missing (when he’s right where he should be), but she has a lot more than distrusting mums on the playground to deal with… she has to face what happened to her that night she stayed at an Airbnb four years ago, and try to figure out who is messing with her now.
>>This is a new release, available now!<<
4. First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
Another thriller with great twists and lots of lies. Slightly let down by formatting issues on the Kindle version, but hopefully this will be resolved before release as it’s not out until January.
My book of the month
Okay, this is another toughie, I’m torn between the two I rated 5 stars (don’t forget to read my full reviews if you want to see my ratings).
I think I’m going to go with the one with the more likeable protagonist, which is…
