I’ll say what needs to be said, get as loud as hell, and fight for the change we need.

Not my best reading month, but I did manage to finish 17 books in March.

My favourite was A Place in the Sun by Jo Thomas, but also really enjoyed Flat Share by Beth O’Leary and Traitor’s Legacy by S J Parris.

Starting the new book by Jo Thomas, which thanks to the publisher and Net Galley I have been given an advanced review copy. Always love reading her books, & the creative uplifting stories she writes.

Should be a real treat this weekend. It’s published June 19

Linwood Barclay Author Linwood Barclay's list of books and series in order, with the latest releases, covers, descriptions and availability.

Starting book 17 in the Tempe Brennan Series, which I am reading along with a friend. Itβ€˜s always good to get back to this series, which I am hoping to get fully updated on this year.

If you watched Bones you need to read this series.

I’m currently on book 10 and feeling sorry for Tony with all the paperwork! Got to love Mrs McCutcheon’s Cat.

Don’t mind sweary if it’s in context.

Yes I’m midway through that series and love them. Something about detective series set in Scotland.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m currently reading through the Inspector McLean Series by James Oswald set in Edinburgh.

A nice easy writing style and the type of series that grows on you. Most of my Aries are set in the U.K. so enjoy the odd one set in the U.S.

Starting book 5 in the Detective Katie Scott Series by Jennifer Chase.

Really enjoyed this series so far, both for the storylines, but also the characters that have been pulled together. So much so that this is my fifth book in the series within three months.

Started reading the latest book by Jonas Jonasson (of the Hundred Year Old Man fame).

Totally missed this one being published. Like his other books this is a quirky read with some interesting and unique characters.

The Hangman's Master by Elyse Hoffman

4/5 stars

goodreads.com/review/show/72…

This is a stunning, brutal and cleverly written WW2 story about a man finding his place in a brutal war. How fiercely do you love and how loyal are you to your believes?
