"This is the third book I've read by Saxon and she's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. She has a way of writing captivating police procedurals with misdirection and lots of twists and turns throughout. ⠀
⠀
Saxon is able to put the right balance between the main characters personal life along side the crime that has me devouring her books."⠀

A gorgeous sunshine-y #repost from @bookmusereviews this morning! Thank you for sharing such a great review! ☀️🌻 ⠀
⠀
Brush of the drab weather with this shining review of My Year of Saying No by @scribbler_maxi...⠀
⠀
"My Year of Saying No by Maxine Morrey gets a big fat 5⭐️ from me. ⠀⠀
Lottie is talked into a year of saying yes by her best friend Jess as an attempt to mend her broken heart. However, Lottie (a character whom I adored) is a lover of the quiet life, living in her pyjamas and staying in with her dog (could Morrey have written a more relatable character?!) so Lottie makes a pact that the following year would be a year of saying no. However, one thing Lottie struggles to say no to is her gorgeous client, Seb...⠀⠀
⠀⠀
There wasn't anything I disliked about this book. I LOVED Lottie and I felt like she was a friend. I know i've said this before but I was genuinely sad to finish this read. It made me cry, it made me smile and it definitley should be added to your basket 🌝⠀⠀

Absolutely love this picture and review of My Year of Saying No by @tohearts_content! 💚📚⠀
⠀
"QOTD: Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert? ⠀
⠀
I cannot stress enough, how much I related to the protagonist of this story. I love how much the heroine—though I wish she didn’t have to—stands up, even gently, for herself and her choices. ⠀
⠀
I adored her very very much and I teared up at the same moments she did and enjoyed being inside her head so much! It was a safe and loving place to be.⠀
⠀
I absolutely adored My Year of Saying No by @scribbler_maxi. FOUR STARS! 💫"⠀

How gorgeous is this repost from @backgardenbookclub! Thank you for such a lovely review of The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn 🌿🌸⠀
⠀
⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⠀
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Libby Quinn..."⠀
.⠀
We hear the story of Libby following her bookshop-owning dreams with only a few hiccups along the way. It's beautifully written by Freya Kennedy and it's clear a lot of love and emotion went into writing this story. Although the story was predictable at times, it was a heartwarming read. .⠀
This was a fairy-tale dream of a book and the perfect escape to the reality of life in lockdown.❤⠀
.⠀
🔎Fun fact: Freya Kennedy is actually the pen name of thriller writer Claire Allan.⠀
