On What Cathy Read Next last week
Blog posts
Monday – I published my review of Chanel’s Riviera by Anne de Courcy.
Tuesday – The Top Ten Tuesday topic was Favourite Bookmarks but I took my own route discussing Reasons I Fail At Reading Challenges. I also shared my review of There’s Something About Darcy by Gabrielle Malcolm as part of the blog tour.
Wednesday – WWW Wednesday is the opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next…and have a good nose around to see what other bloggers are reading.
Thursday – I shared some gems from my collection of books about John Buchan for this week’s NonFiction November prompt – Be The Expert.
Friday – I shared my review of Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy.
Saturday – I published my review of dual time historical novel The Tide Between Us by Olive Collins.
As always, thanks to everyone who has liked, commented on or shared my blog posts on social media this week.

Bermondsey, 1920s. After her mother’s death Kate is taken in by her father’s sister, the quick-tempered Aunt Sylvie.

Although Kate’s father disappeared when she was a child, she still harbours hope that he will one day reappear and release her from this miserable existence. If only she knew why he left and what really happened to her mother…
One day, after a terrible argument, eighteen-year-old Kate is thrown out. Desperate to land on her own two feet she answers an advert for a cleaner at The Bermondsey Bookshop and Reading Room. Little does she know that her life is about to be changed forever…

So did I 😀 The word ‘bookshop’ in a title always grabs my attention.

I did a lot of reading challenges when I started blogging but have now stopped – curious to read your take. And I love your reading taste. I read literary fiction and historical fiction “off duty” but over the past year am working on incorporating more adult reads into my site. Look forward to getting your take on some great books!
