Reading This Week

Hello there! Happy Monday! This week will consist of two review books and lots of finishing up other books . The last few weeks ,through no fault of any book,  I found it very hard to concentrate . If you are normally a daily reader like me you know how much of a nuisance this can be when you lose your stride . Anyway I have high hopes for this week ,and look out for reviews of the books mentioned throughout the week, you are going to want to add some of these to your TBR list.

My Favourite Halloween Movies

Autumn.... Halloween is just around the corner , shops are getting filled to the brim with everything black and orange and just about everyone has a favourite Halloween movie that they watch . I have many . I know I am not alone with this love of Halloween movies and below are some of my favourites. 

Dracula

Hocus Pocus

Halloween

The Woman In Black

 Not all of these are scary but they are all entertaining in their own way.  Do you have some favourite Halloween movies that you enjoy watching every year? 

Reading This Week

With a new week comes a new batch of books to be plucked from my shelves and devoured . This week I picked a mix of genres that covers every bookish whim I may have this week , because sometimes you just don't know what you are going to want to read days in advance( even though I still prefer to plan my weeks reading)  ! I am all too aware of just how big my TBR pile is , every week I try and get at least a few books from my shelves read and added to my "Read " shelf on Goodreads. Ohhh the satisfaction ! 

Now enough jibber jabbing , on with the books!

Knitting Yarns

At Knits End

This book had me from the opening chapter . Aimee Bender 

I had been saving this book .... The excitement now j am starting it !!! Eeeekkkk . Nina George

As I never got round to this book the other week I hope to start this cozy mystery in the next few days.

Send In The Clowns by Julie Mulhern . Review

This is book 4 in the Country Club Murder Series.

The story is set in Kansas City , Missouri in 1974 .

When main character Ellison Russell comes across some scary clowns while searching for her daughter Grace in "The Gates Of Hell " haunted house 

it becomes the least of her problems as there is something far more scarier in store ,a dead body! 

Ellison has had a good track record of finding dead bodies in the past so no one is hugely surprised by that ,but they are surprised over the deceased. A man with a shady past who was trying to turn his life around . 

With two love interests , parents who are still very active in her life and a dead body to ponder over you could say Ellison has her hands full , but she still manages her job and raising her daughter ! If you enjoy books with a strong lead character who is not afraid to get her hands dirty while being a great mum and friend then this is the perfect read for you. 

I received this book from the lovely people over at Netgalley.

This book is being published October 26th 2016 by Henery Press.
