Famous Last Words - @gillianmauthor.bsky.social

There’s a crisis on the news. A gunman has taken 3 hostages. But what happens when your seemingly normal husband is the gunman?

This was a gripping, tense read as we find out what led to that moment.

Only 5 books in January this year as it turns out buying a house takes up a lot of time! Onyx Storm is going straight in there at number 1 with The Great Alone a close second.

Book 5️⃣

Onyx Storm - Rebecca Yarros

House stuff really interfered with reading time 🙃 but thanks to a broken boiler I’ve managed to get time to finish this and I just loved it! But that ending with no idea when the next book will be written nevermind released?!

#BookSky💙📚

Book 4️⃣

The Great Alone - Kristin Hannah

A book club choice and a wonderful story. I probably wouldn’t have picked up this tale of a teenage girl moving to Alaska with her volatile parents but by the end I absolutely loved Leni and was rooting for her!

#BookSky 💙📚

Book 3️⃣

The Lost Bookshop - Evie Woods

I read this book for a new book club - which I didn’t get to attend as I didn’t finish on time! I didn’t love nor hate this book I just plodded through it. I felt the characters could have had more depth given to them.

#BookSky💙📚

Book 2️⃣

Please Tell Me - Mike Omer

I wanted to love this book more but it all just felt a bit rushed and parts of it just didn’t make a lot of sense with no explanation given.

I have heard the authors other books are better though so will keep an eye out!

#BookSky💙📚

Book 1️⃣

Keeping 13 - Chloe Walsh

A new year and a continuation of 2024’s last book. That cliffhanger and those characters I just had to continue with - loved it 🥰

Probably would have been faster without the post-football hangover 🤦🏻‍♀️

Book 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣

Binding 13 - Chloe Walsh

This was a long ass book to fit in before the year ends but this YA romance was a perfect fit! Loved the characters and flew through the pages.

Thankfully I bought book 2 at the same time with that ending!

#BookSky💙📚

Book 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣

The Quiet Tenant - Clémence Michallon

This was so tense that I didn’t want to put it down. Aidan is a family man, the town loves him - but he’s also a serial killer who is holding a woman captive.

This was so good & gave me Last Thing to Burn vibes!

#BookSky💙📚

Thank you! It’s the first of your books I will have read and I’m looking forward to it.

The Christmas Cottage - Sarah Morgan

I adore Sarah Morgan’s Christmas books and it doesn’t feel like Christmas until I’ve read the latest - just managed to squeeze it in this year!

The God of The Woods - Liz Moore

I enjoyed this story and some of the characters but others I felt were lacking some oomph and it dragged on a bit too much for me.

#BookSky💙📚

Book 1️⃣0️⃣7️⃣

Redemption - @jackjordanbooks.bsky.social

Jack Jordan has a habit of making books where people are in impossible situations and this one is no different! A husband is attempting to stop his wife murdering the man who killed their son.

Book 1️⃣0️⃣5️⃣

People Like Her - Ellery Lloyd

Loved this insight into the lengths influencers will go to profit and the dark and twisty storyline that haunts the influencer in this story!

I’m always curious about how husband/wife author teams work too.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder - Holly Jackson

I’m so behind the times with this one but I thoroughly enjoyed this YA small town murder mystery! Pippa was such a joy of a character along with sidekick Ravi.

Book 1️⃣0️⃣3️⃣

Before I Do - Sophie Cousens

Everyone has what if moments in their life but what if you were confronted with yours the night before your wedding? Do you believe in soulmates, fate and bad omens?
