I haven’t been reading much lately - mostly due to longer hours at work, the start of the Christmas party season, and err… a rather unhealthy obsession with “Strictly Come Dancing”. But does this stop me from buying yet more books? Nooooo…

Amazon delivery this morning - Sharon Shinn’s “Reader and Raelynx” and Suzanne Brockmann’s “All Through The Night”! I’ve been waiting impatiently for these books to come out - and now my biggest dilemma is which one to read first
