It's the last day of March today, and time to look at what I've been doing with The Way Back this month.

Someone is stealing 2022 because apparently it's nearly April already. Join me in a coffee whilst I reflect on this month's books and reading. The Coffee: I'm switching things up this week with a coffee from Square Mile. The Lady filter coffee from Myanmar has tasting notes of dates, hazelnuts and cacao. It makes a... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! Today, I am absolutely thrilled to be able to share a q & A with the wonderful Emma Whitehall, author of Clockwork Magpies.

It's Sunday and time for this week's #SixforSunday. March's theme is Springing into Life and we're kicking off with six books with green covers. This one was tricky because green doesn't appear to be a colour that ends up on my shelf very frequently. I've managed to cobble together six greenish covers from my TBR,... Continue Reading →
"Out the window- closing it carefully behind her, up the drainpipe and over the roof.
