This month was a really tricky one for me personally, but my reading was excellent – getting through my TBR and reading 22 books in total. You can check out my thoughts on some of these in my Recent Reads wrap-up here.

Haul:

Again, I was spoilt with some amazing bookmail this month!

Kicking off, Sarah Farmer at Hachette Children’s Group sent me Gorgeous Gruesome Faces by Linda Cheng. The amazing team at Head of Zeus sent me All That It Ever Meant by Blessing Musariri, while Atom Books sent me an ARC and amazing package for So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole. Also, I won the street team competition for Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven, so she sent me The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde with a gorgeous candle as well.

I also bought myself The Other Side of Perfect by Mariko Turk and my preorders of The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett and Totally Deceased by Sue Cunningham arrived!
