Hi all and welcome to Sunday – here’s hoping you have been having a good weekend. Here in the UK, it’s a long one with a bank holiday Monday so today feels lovely and relaxing and stress-free given I don’t have to go to work tomorrow. It makes up for yesterday a bit which, with parties and play-dates saw me spending the entire day as chauffeur and watching the clock. What we’ll be doing today I have no idea but I do know we’ll be doing it slowly.
For my blogging life, I posted every day last week (bar Saturday, my current “day of blogging rest”)…
On Monday, I reviewed The Red Hunter by Lisa Unger with a young woman seeking revenge for the murder of her parents and an older woman getting caught in the crossfire. It was really well written and so much more than I expected having read the blurb.
On Tuesday, I introduced my latest read, Mercy Killing by Lisa Cutts, which I couldn’t resist after seeing it on the library shelf.
On Wednesday, I reviewed Before The Fall by Noah Hawley which looks at the aftermath of a plane crash and the impact on the survivors. A really clever book I can’t recommend enough.
On Thursday, I reviewed Her Every Fear by Peter Swanson which I was really excited about reading but was left disappointed by. I know I’m in the minority here but I think I was expecting too much. Can’t win them all I guess!
On Friday, I joined in with the book blogger hop again, writing about whether I re-read books (the answer is once in a while).
I also “picked up” a few books – one purchased, the rest ARCs (clicking on the covers will link to Goodreads)…
I have to say I’m excited about every one of these books and feeling very lucky for having been approved for all these ARCs…now to read them all!
And that’s it for me, what about you – how has your week been? What are you reading?

One Readers Thoughts 
I have Red Hunter and Every Last Lie, and I’m eager to read them. I am eyeing the Lisa Jewell book, Then She Was Gone. It is listed as “unavailable” here, which often happens with her books. Sometimes we get them with different titles. I’ll be watching!
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

I hope you enjoy. I saw that with another Lisa Jewell book – The Girls in the Garden I think. Funny how publishers do that but I assume they have reasons.

I was also disappointed by Her Every Fear! I was expecting too much after Swanson’s first novel I think. You’ve got some great ARC’s there too! 😋

Glad it isn’t just me. Yes, I just kind of assumed it would blow me away like The Kind Worth Killing,
