Back to work and school this week and I am TIRED! Honestly this working malarkey is for the birds!!!!! I was so glad to see the weekend!
I also did a little celebratory dance as I’ve managed to reach 1000 followers on my blog!
The Shadow Bride by Shelby Mahurin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Célie’s life is over. She took her final breath trying to save the people she loves—including the powerful and enigmatic vampire king, Michal, who refused to let her go. When Célie wakes, she cannot walk in the sun; she can hear her friends’ heartbeats and she craves their blood. Michal has cursed her to the eternal existence of a vampire.
But Célie isn’t the only dead roaming the earth. Her sister, Filippa, has returned as a shadow of her former self, and other revenants are rising from their graves intent on revenge. The fragile balance between life and death has broken, awakening an even darker force—and he is coming for Célie, ready to claim her as his Bride. With the fate of their world at stake, Célie and Michal must set aside their searing attraction to mend the veil and right the balance, once and for all.
Back with Celie and Michal after the events of the last book and their dice with death….
Michal, oh Michal, how I love thee! I just love how this character was written….I’m smitten!
This was such a great conclusion to their story, I couldn’t stop reading! The chemistry, tension, drama and schexy scenes were golden!
Suitably vague, I know! But if you loved book 1 then you will fall in love with this one!
There were 2 characters that I simply adored in this book, both hilarious for totally different reasons, Celie’s Mum and the Witch, Mathilde, I’d build her a cottage!
The epilogue! Made my heart swell to epic proportions!
Whilst I was away in Portugal, I realised some stuff, and I actually wrote it down so thought I would share! So this isn’t a bookish post (although I did read 3 books whilst we were away!)
I haven’t been abroad since my son was small, money was tight and then covid hit, but I had saved up some money, so we booked our holiday to Portugal!
The holiday bought time to think, a total slow down from my normal life. I didn’t realise just how rushed my life is!
Gone is the hubbub in my brain, rushing from one thing to the next to get it all done. I’ve had time to sit, think, relax.
It was like a balm for the soul. I actually feel refreshed and ready to go!
I realised it’s not the same, just having time off at home. Here we got to roam, to see new sights, have new adventures, eat at different places, sit on the balcony in the evening and just watch the world go by.
So we’ve decided that we’re going to try and do this every year (if I can save enough!)
I need this boost each year, need it for my brain, my body, my soul!
Do you feel like this? What do you do to get total relaxation?

I thought I’d start doing a couple of posts on what I’m currently reading! Although I will add these to my Sunday Post and also post my review, I thought this might be more up to date!
So… I’m listening to an audiobook and reading an earc:
I am lucky that I got an earc! I’m nearly halfway through….and I am hooked!
From Rachel Gillig, comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced beyond the safety of her cloister on an impossible quest to defeat the gods with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight.
Back with Molly the Maid! I’m only a third of the way through and I am loving it!
When a daring art heist takes place at the Regency Grand, Molly’s life is threatened. The question is who’s out to get her, and why? Long-buried secrets will be revealed in this intriguing and heartwarming novel.
Top Ten Tuesday is featured by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I hope you had a great week and Happy Easter!
Back to normal life for us!
We flew back into England on Tuesday night, I had Wednesday off to recuperate (and do all the washing!) and back to work on Thursday!
All I did in work was read the mountain of emails that I got whilst away, checked my projects were where they were meant to be and then had Friday off as it was Good Friday!
Tomorrow is Easter Monday, so another day off, and then it’s back to work for me and back to school for my son after the Easter break!

Recently, I’ve become obsessed with a romantasy book series, and because I’ve been so obsessed, I haven’t really written proper reviews for them, just garbled love notes to the series and lots of quotes! Do you do that too?!
So I present my garbled nonsense in a series review…..
The Legends of Thezmarr by Helen Scheuerer
#1 Blood and Steel #2 Fate and Furies #3 Shadow and Storms
Aaaah a brilliant romantasy series that I literally couldn’t put down and binged one after another!
So here’s some of my favourite quotes!
‘Then know this… If you seek power in a world of men and monsters, there is nothing more powerful than knowledge and the ability to wield it.’
‘I told myself that it was enough,’ he murmured into her hair, his voice hoarse. ‘That I should be grateful for the time we had. It was more love than most people get in a lifetime. But the truth is, Thea… A thousand lifetimes with you wouldn’t be enough.’
‘We are all daughters of darkness, Thea. We were born into a world of it, a place that would dictate the way in which we defend ourselves, the way we live our lives. No more. That world is no longer. And the next one will be what we make it.’
