Today’s topic is – Top Summer Reads!

I made my 20 Books of Summer list so I pulled these 5 from there. These are the books that I cannot wait to read!!!

 

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

I fell in love with An Enchantment of Ravens so I really want to read this!

Beneath the Haunting Sea totally entranced me so I’m hoping this one will too!

The Boys of Brayshaw High was absolutely delish….and I need to know what happens after that cliffy!

 

The Fallen by Tillie Cole

This is a prequel to her new series, The Deadly Virtues. This girl can write and I cant wait to see how she writes PNR!

 

What books are on your summer list?

Stacking The Shelves is hosted at Tynga’s Reviews & Reading Reality. It’s all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

As per usual I have gone way over budget this month but I did win an Amazon gift card and I got 2 great books on Kindle Firsts (thank you Prime!)

Here are the books I’ve added to my never ending TBR!

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo – I won an Amazon gift card and I went and straight away bought this baby!

One Word Kill by Mark Lawrence (Kindle First read)

Before the Broken Star by Emily R King (Kindle First read)

The Rebel of Raleigh High by Callie Hart – couldn’t resist this cover!

Eli’sTriumph by Joanna Wylde – love a Reapers MC read!

Finale by Stephanie Garber – from the Fairyloot Special box (look out for my unboxing soon!)

Romanov by Nadine Brandes – couldn’t resist an Anastasia retelling!

Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff – I haven’t read this author before so decided now was time!

 

What books did you get this month?

Welcome to The Weekly Epilogue!

Hope you all had a good week?

I’ve had a week filled with doctor appointments for me and my son! He is being tested for celiac disease (that I’ve probably passed on!) and I’ve now been diagnosed with vertigo. Vertigo, where the heck did that come from?!

Anyhoo, my book-wise week has been great. If I’m honest I’ve been in a slump since the beginning of the year but I’ve had a word with myself and I’m now a girl on a (reading) mission!

Malum part 2 by Amo Jones (beta read)

Trouble at Brayshaw by Meghan Brandy (arc read)

I’m just over here celebrating 4 years on the blog!

4 wonderful, book filled years!

Here is to many more 🍸

Thank you to all the bloggers, authors and readers that have made this place and the book world a fantastic place to be!

It’s the middle of the working week so I thought it would be nice to have a night to kick back with a beverage and talk all things books!

This week…..PR companies…do you sign up?

When I started out blogging there were so many PR companies and I wanted to make an impression, so I signed up with loads of them for everything!

I posted the html content they sent….but that got old, quickly!

So…….

I stopped posting tour material on my website as I wanted that to be my own voice so just posted to my blog Facebook page….and here we are today……but I might as well be talking to myself on there!

I’m wondering whether to sign up at all now for tours, cover reveals etc so I want to know what you all do….

Do you participate in reveals, tours etc?

How many in a month?

Do you think Facebook is a lost cause for blogs?

Top 5 Tuesday is bought to you by Shanah at the Bionic Bookworm – you can find her post and join in here.

Today’s topic is – Unputdownable Reads!

Don’t you just love it when you pick up a book and you are so enthralled you can’t put it down?

I’d say these were books I’ve read in the last 6 or 7 months that fit this bill!!

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

Oh the joy this gave me! I never thought I’d be a sci-fi fan…but I so am!

Pretty Reckless by LJ Shen

The start of the angst of the Totholes! (If you have read the Sinners of Saint series you will know what I’m on about!)

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

A Beauty and the Beast retelling…I was smitten from the first chapter….

 

Repeat by Kylie Scott

Mesmerising….a girl who has lost her memory revisiting her old life.

 

Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

Oh so dark and delish! Just how I like it!
