So today is my day on the blog tour for Mother Hens by Sophie McCartney. A completely unputdownable read. This read was absolutely hilarious, at one point I had tears streaming down my face!! Caras best friends is about to gey married and that only means one thing....a hen party!! So after Caras messy divorce this is definitely what she needs, a girls trip, no kids allowed holiday to the party island of Ibiza!! This book was absolutely cracking, I was completely hooked from start to finish. I definitely will be on the look out for what is next by Sophie!

I absolutely adore this series, Poe and Tilly are fast becoming my favourite fiction duo!! This series just gets better and better book by book! Black Summer is book 2 in the series and someone is out to ruin Poes career and he has to turn to the only person he trusts....Tilly. A dark, twisted highly engrossing read, I cannot wait to read book 3 in the series! I read this as a buddy ready with @fiction_books_reviews we are loving this series! Definitely a 5* from me!

So Shagged, Married, Annoyed was my very first audio book. I absolutely love Chris and Rosies Podcast so thought this would be the best book to begin my audio Journey on. It also helped that they narrated it as I was based to their voices anyway! This made me laugh from start to finish, all the stories of the everyday ups and downs being in a relationship was just brilliant! This was exactly like the the podcast but just an extended version of it. I would definitely read/listen to more of what they decided to do next.

What a highly enjoyable read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the very start. The way Jojo Moyes deals with certain themes is just outstanding, in this instance the stuggles of mental health coming from a male perspective was written so carefully and well. This book shows you exactly what it would be like to walk in another person's shoe. Sam works every hour under the sun, trying not support her family while also trying to keep her family together when her husband fall s ill, she's also helping to pay her friends mortgage and now starting to struggle financially. Nisha seems to have it all, she has money, she has a lifestyle and wardrobe that I there would love to have, money being no object....until one day at the gym a bag mix up between the pair will teach them how the other half live! I thoroughly enjoyed every money if this book. I read it as a buddy read with @ fiction_book_reviews

So today is my stop on the blog tour for 'One Enchanted Evening' by Katie Fforde, can you believe this is her 30th novel! Yes 30th novel 😮 and third in the trilogy of standalone stories set during the 1960s. This time the story focuses on Meg....the series each features one of three women who meet on a cookery course, Meg, Alexandra and Lizze. Although One Enchanted Evening is part of a series it is completely readable as a standalone. Megs dream of working as a professional chef in a kitchen, but as its still the sixties cooks/chefs is still very much a man's job, so when she manages to secure the chance fo work and learn from a French chef in Provence she jumps at the chance. However until she has to leave her mother Louise really needs a help in the hotel she is currently running - Nightingale Woods. But heads start to clash when the owners son Justin starts to take an interest in the hotel firmly believing a woman's place is definitely not in the kitchen.....Will t...

Now this is what you call a thriller, i was hooked from start to finish, it started dark, it got darker, the twists were coming....I just didn't want it to end. Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw, just what a fantastic duo they were and hopefully will be?!  The immolation man is hunting and terrorising the Lake District so when poe has an unexpected visitor whilst on suspension, he knew it was an offer he couldn't refuse...but what does the Immolation man want with Poe?  What a cracking boom from start to finish I cannot wait to start book 2. I read The Puppet Show as a buddy read with the fabulous @fiction_book_reviews so feel free to check out her review on Instagram too!

So, I'm still currently working my way through Taylor Jenkis Reid Backlist and the latest one I have read is 'One True Loves' a book that has consumed my life for the past few days! Emma Blair grew up not really being noticed, working odd shifts at her parents bookstore. She didn't particularly care for her hometown and decided upon meeting Jesse they would leave, she fell in love instantly and lived a great life together, seeing the world until one day Jesse goes on a trip and doesn't come back....Emma's life completely falls apart....her one true love gone. I read this one as part of a buddy read with @sunshineandbooklove.
