Time for a bit of a #TheakstonsCrime wrap up! First up, the authors! It has been my please to meet some of my favourite in the biz, including @WhittyAuthor @willrdean @AJWestAuthor and @gemmaEdenham All a joy to talk to ❤️
Exciting bookmail today! I am so excited to read #ArtificialWisdom by @tom_weaver and after a shameless plea the lovely Elizabeth (libcreads on insta) sent me a copy she had. I cannot wait to dive in, think it’s going to be brilliant and raise some interesting thoughts.
One of those ‘I’m really fed up but don’t know what to do’ days…
Glorious day in the sunshine at @nationaltrust Comer Woods.
I’ve got a fab #giveaway on my instagram page to win @AJWestAuthor @OrendaBooks #thebetrayalofthomastrue. Link in comments ⬇️
My Harrogate Haul! The big stack is all books I got at pops-up, directly from the authors, from the #TheakstonsCrime goody bag or from some brilliant publisher events (thank you to @HQstories @panmacmillan @centurybooksuk @TransworldBooks ) The smaller stack is what I bought ❤️
My first #TheakstonsCrime book has been read, and it was a belter. Can always rely on @JaniceHallett @ViperBooks for a brilliant story. You may never look at a pub quiz the same way again… Full review to come soon!

Working late in the office last night and scooped up the last three @HarrogateFest exclusive proofs of @BeccaPhilipson 's #HowToGetAwayWithMurder If you missed out on this one last weekend, do message me for a chance to grab this stunning debut.
I would walk over hot coals for my child but equally would do almost anything to avoid being the one to put him to bed. Nearly two hours of feeling overstimulated, overtired, frustrated, emotional and incapable.
138 pages in and I realise two main characters share the same names as my parents 😂
Peace 😌
When you have a nap so good you wake up not knowing where you are, what time it is or what is going on 😂
Warm Fat Rascals for breakfast. It’s a post Harrogate tradition😍
Had a fantastic time at #TheakstonsCrime and a full round up of posts will come soon! All those incredible books& brought home and the first book I read when I got home was The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️
Lovely breakfast at Betty’s with Susie from @susiesbookrevs ! What a fabulous way to start the day ❤️
It’s actually quite obscene how many books I have acquired this weekend😅
