My Week in Books – 31st May 2026

Tuesday – This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic was My Favourite Books By My Favourite Authors.

Wednesday – As always WWW Wednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading.

Thursday – I published my review of Carrion Crow by Heather Parry.

Saturday – I joined other gardeners for #SixonSaturday, sharing six things happening in my garden this week. I also published my review of Once the Deed Is Done by Rachel Seiffert, shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction 2026.

Not a sausage…

I’m reading Dwell, published in paperback on 11th June by Northodox Press and, from my NetGalley shelf, Prey which will be published on 2nd July by Head of Zeus. I’m also listening to the audiobook of Call Me Ishmaelle, my book club’s pick for June.
