Dying for Christmas!

Ooooh quick cheeky teeny tiny book review! Just finished Dying for Christmas by Tammy Cohen - blurb reads:

"I am missing. Held captive by a blue-eyed stranger. To mark the twelve days of Christmas, he gives me a gift every day, each more horrible than the last. The twelfth day is getting closer. After that, there’ll be no more Christmas cheer for me. No mince pies, no carols. No way out …

But I have a secret. No-one has guessed it. Will you?"

Ummmm, no. I never did. And I'm so glad I didn't. This was a 5 star novel - first one for me since Broadchurch - and it was BRILLIANT. I literally could not put it down, even though you know what has happened and who has done it, I gobbled it up trying to get to the reasons WHY it was all happening….and then just when you think it's all figured out, you're hit with the twist….which makes you want to gobble it all up to the end to see WHY. Again. Love it. It's out on Kindle and in paperback on 20th November and you can get it here:

Crappy non-posting-ness

Uggghhh. How crappy have I been at keeping up on here??? Super crappy that's what! I thought I'd have a teeny tiny break, given how hectic stuff was at work, and Mr H not being around much but with delicious holibobs to Cyprus, then home to reams and reams of paperwork at the office, then an EMA to get in for the end of AA100 I was pretty rushed off my feet. It's taken me til now to actually catch up from my lovely jolly 2 weeks in the sun.

Did get lots of reading done in the meantime, namely The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes (beautiful, but will she ever top Me Before You?), The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness (end of the trilogy, lovely stuff but Books One and Two were better), Broadchurch - I can't remember who it's by but I didn't watch it on the telly and it was ACE - I literally could not put it down and I couldn't figure who-done-it either.

Next up on the list is Created: the Destroyer by Warren Murphy - Ive been looking forward to this one but held off on it as I am due to write a review for the blog tour and post it on 6th October. Apparently its being made into a movie, so all exciting stuff.

A105 kicks off on 4th - Voices, Texts and Material Cultures. EEEEK! I've made a start on Chapter One but got to say Anthropology and Archaeology is kinda not my bag. Roll on Level 2 and all the lovely lovely Lit that goes with it!
