Good morning and welcome to my weekly round up inspired by Novels and Nonfiction. It’s a bit shorter this week and I’m busy volunteering at the library two afternoons a week for the summer reading challenge. It’s my third year volunteering and so far it’s looking like it’s going to be the busiest. So, without further ado grab yourself a comfy chair, a coffee, tea or even or even a 99 ice-cream, (especially if you’re enjoying the return of the heatwave in the UK) and come and have a browse with me.
Here are just some of the great reviews I’ve read this week
Dee’s Rad Reads and Reviews – An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Cleopatra Loves Books – Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne
Reading Between The Pages – A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult
Me and My Books – The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton
Books and Me! – The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes
Silver Button Books – Canada by Mike Myers

The week started started off with me hosting a stop by sharing my review on the blog blitz for The Getaway Girls. On Wednesday I shared my July Wrap Up & Favourite Books of the Month as well as my usual WWW Wednesdays! post. On Thursday I joined in with the Thursday’s Top 4 meme sharing my recent favourite book covers. On Friday I joined in with FlashBackFriday sharing August my reviews from 2017 and First Impression Friday sharing my thoughts of a book I’m currently buddy reading.

I wish I had the time to do that! I’m listening to primary aged school children tell me about the books they’re reading for the challenge.

Great posts this week from fellow bloggers, love Lorraine’s Top Five Thursday feature a great way to get to know people a little bit better.
The contrasts between the drought and the garden photos was brilliant. I wasn’t aware of the scale of the drought in Australia.
Great posts and links, and thank you for the shout out xx
