My favourite book of the month was The Night Shift by Alex Finlay this was just such a good book I loved it from start to finish! Also The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides it was a close race between the two for book of the month.

My least favourite was Marked by the Alpha it was just one of those in your face wham bam mating done!

My DNFS were a little high this month I just couldn’t get on with the 4 and I’m a great believer in not reading something just for the sake of it.

My favourite book of the month is Awaken by G.R. Thomas this is the second book of hers that have been my book of the month! This author is becoming one of my favourites. This book was so intriguing and different.

Also Heartless by Nicola Claire this was the last I. This series and I’ve really enjoyed it.

My least favourite is Heart of a Warrior by Lali A Love I just didn’t get it.

My DNFS were not as high this month I just couldn’t get on with so many and I’m a great believer in not reading something just for the sake of it.
