Happy Sunday and welcome to another weekly update where I share a little about what’s happened to me this week and the books I’ve reviewed.
Although I posted three times this week, I only shared one review, Come Closer by Sara Gran, a novella that can be read as a simple horror, or as more of a social commentary on how women sometimes try so hard to fit a mould, they lose themselves.
My other two posts were my January Reads and a Top Ten Tuesday: Character Names (which I though would be hard till I started looking at the books I’ve read). January was a good month for reading, with mainly four and two five-star reviews – Girl A and The Raptures.
Beyond that, it’s been a bit of a busy week, though we did get some cookies baked as planned last Sunday (thank you Nigella for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe). Today, we have more windy weather forecast so not sure what’s on the agenda!
I also checked a New Years resolution box and posted on TikTok. Not sure if I will post anymore but I became quite a fan of some booktokkers last year and wanted to stop ‘lurking’. Anyone out there reading this enjoy booktok too?
And that’s it. How was your week, reading and otherwise?

I haven’t gotten on the tictok wagon and not sure I want to, but booktok would probably be up my ally if I did.

It is addictive. I only went on to see what it was like as my 11 year old wanted to sign up. Now I’m hooked.

Those cookies look delicious. I have to admit that I have never tried a Nigella recipe, nor a Delia one – I tend to stick to the BBC Good Food ones. I hope February brings you as many good reads (or more!) than January did.

And look at those cookies. Wow!

It does suck your time! The Raptures was one of those books that felt different, that’s why I liked it.

I usually don’t read horror, but Come Closer sounds intriguing.
