Currently reading kindle supernatural smut - not my normal type of smut but it's been entertaining so far and it was free.

Once I'm done with that I've got the Thief Taker series by CS Quinn to read next week - Tudor era whodunnits that looked interesting.

Bob Mortimer’s second book Hotel Avocado. Very easy reading and his sense of humour really comes through. Then it’s onto Richard Osman’s latest Thursday Murder Club.

Enjoying it so far - a lovely person in Daunt recommended it after I mentioned a few books I'd really enjoyed reading this past year. It's not particularly easy going or the light and fluffy I wrongly thought it would be but at the same time, I don't mind that. Some of it is really quite poignant and almost Dallowayesque.

Not sure I'm ready for Blue Sisters, it's on my list but might leave it for the warmer months!
