September wrap up and October TBR



September has been a really poor reading month for me.

I only managed to read one book which was Where the past begins by Amy Tan of which I gave 3.5 stars.  I love Amy's writing but I found it more difficult to read this memoir than her novels which I love.

I don't know why I've struggled with reading this month other than I've been watching more TV when I get home from work.  It may be that the nights are drawing in and I just want to get cozy and relax but not to engage my brain too much.  I'm just hoping that this month is a blip in my reading.  I am one book away from hitting my good reads target of 60 books  read in 2019, so it is not as if I am feeling the pressure to hit that target.

In terms of my October TBR , I am going to try and read the books I hoped to read in September.

I have already started to read Everything Under by Daisy Johnson
English Animals by Laura Kay
Life after Life by Kate Atkinson

I also have Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman to read for the Laurenandthebooks Patreon Bookclub choice for October.

I also have a lot of Halloween themed Cozy Mystery type books on my Kindle so if I do have a good month I hope to read at least one of those by the end of the month.


Wishing you happy readings in October

Love Lesley xx

Quick Catch Up

 Hi All I've been absence from this blog for a while as unfortunately my beloved hubby has been diagnosed with cancer.  We have caught it early and the prognosis is very good and positive.  It has been a strange year all round and the last couple of months have been more stressful and worrying to say the least. Things are now on the up and thus I feel it is time I get back into updating this little blog of mine, and this little catch up is to say I am coming back.  I am planning more regular content, showcasing my crafty endeavours, what I'm reading and life in general I am also pondering a better and more productive blog schedule for 2021. Watch this space. With love and wishing you a good week Lesley xx

What a Year!!!!

What a year 2020 has been.   Coronavirus has virtually dominated the whole world and the way we live our lives have altered for all.  We haven't been able to do all the things we would normally enjoy do,  due  to the national and local tiered restrictions imposed on us.  We haven't been able to visit friends and family, enjoys holidays and breaks away, do so called normal things like shopping and visits to cafes and restaurants and for some people haven't even been able to work.  To say the very least, this year has been tough for all. On a personal level, I've been lucky in the fact that I only experienced a very tiny period off on furlough and I am currently still working.  My husband also has been able to work throughout the pandemic, although he has been working from home. I haven't felt much like shopping so have only been shopping in the supermarkets if I can't get an online delivery.  Anything else I am afraid have come from Amazon....
