It’s already time for another wrap-up. Seriously, days fly by at an alarming rate and soon we will be saying goodbye to 2018. How did this happen?
What’s New?
I’m broke because I spent all my money on an unlimited yoga pass at a studio in Bordeaux. I’m getting back in shape and loving it! Mind and body need it, believe me. I haven’t missed looking silly with my butt in the air when people are looking, though. But hey, I have a nice butt :p
I am no longer a bookseller. No regrets. I can’t wait for my next chapter!
New bookish ideas and projects are coming my way, we shall see where they lead me.
Books I read this month
More diversity this month, which is good! I’ve been reading more than reviewing this past few days so you should expect more next month!
Books I reviewed
My Kind of Christmas: The Long Shadow by Celia Fremlin @FaberBooks @joanna_brl #BlogTour
Scalpel, Please: Skin Deep by Liz Nugent @lizzienugent @PenguinUKBooks @GeorgiaKTaylor

#Signing Off: Follow Me by Angela Clarke @TheAngelaClarke #favouritealert #series @AvonBooksUK
8 reviews. Not bad, but I expected better!
New Books (won, purchased, for review, whatever)
Book of the Month Award
Although I have read many fantastic books this month, there is one that stands out. It was highly anticipated and it didn’t fail!
I was so happy to be welcomed back in Kilchester that I worried the novella would let me down. But Adam Maxwell did a great job and my mind was blown away by this explosive reunion with Violet!
Blogging time!

There’s some exciting titles mentioned here. I’ve just finished Lesley Kara’s The Rumour, you definitely need to read this as soon as possible, it’s a stunning first novel.

I had to refrain from jumping on The Rumour because of work and previous commitments but I am so reading this very soon!

Can I ask you how come you’re not a bookseller anymore? I mean, was it your choice to leave?
Ohh, those months when you read more and review less are sometimes nice, I always try not to stress myself about not reviewing every single book I read.
But hey, I’m still looking forward to read your reviews! 😉

I was tired of the way I was treated at the bookstore and decided it would be healthier for me to stop. It’s a shame as I love the place.
I am not in the mood to review these days, but I feel so guilty! xx

Ohh, I understand then. Mentak health always comes first, and if you’re in the toxic environment, it’s better to change
something.
Don’t worry, if you’re in a reviewing slump don’t push yourself.

I am broke too, but unfortunately not because of yoga, but just general life things and my lack of restriction haha and I am keeping my fingers crossed for whatever comes next for you. Career changes can be so exciting!
