Happy Friday readers! Another week flown by – thanks to the Bank Holiday Monday – and I managed to cram in two books this week: the Readarama Book of the Week, Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave, and Marian Keyes’ The Mystery of Mercy Close as it’s been sitting on my to-read pile for a good few months! The 5th Wave was an interesting read and one that I managed to pack into one day’s worth of reading, thanks to the free day we were all given with the Bank Holiday – nothing beats lying in the garden with a small glass of, well, a nice beverage and ploughing through your latest ...

I hope we’re all well and enjoying the transition into Spring? I don’t know where you are, but the weather seemed to get a little confused in my neck of the woods and turned from glorious sunshine to snow showers within an hour.
