#Wrecked by #KatieMitchelson is a frightening tale of how easily young people can be drawn into the dangerous world of drugs, where life holds little value to those at the top. #BookSky Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/3hfxy9sf

#Wrecked by Katie Mitchelson wasn’t quite as dystopian/sci-fi as I was expecting, but does show how easily young people can become involved in nefarious activities. I’m now completely gripped by #TheDayOurLivesCollided from @laurapauthor.bsky.social and @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social #BookSky

I was completely invested in the will-they-won't-they story in #LoveUnlocked from #CeceliaAhern and @harpercollins.bsky.social. Melody and Al are wonderful characters; complete opposites, but the chemistry is obvious. #BookSky #BookBlogger Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/uwwrsvw8

I was fully invested in the characters in #LoveUnlocked from #CeceliaAhern and @harpercollins.bsky.social. Time now for a YA novel from a local author, #Wrecked by #KatieMitchelson #BookSky

My #FiveStarFlashback this week is #TheSilentMan by @davidfennell.bsky.social, a serial killer thriller that delivers terror, shock, and a final gut-punch. This is book 3 is a fantastic series. #BookSky Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/5dp533bs

August is going to allow people to get their hands on some fantastic publications. Are you keen to read any of these? #BookSky

The setting of #ATimeOfMourning by Christobel Kent was dour, hopefully my next read will lift the mood. Just from the lovely cover alone, #LoveUnlocked from #CeceliaAhern and @harpercollins.bsky.social offers hope #BookSky

My #FiveStarFlashback today is #TheLastParty by @claremackwrites.bsky.social This brilliant murder mystery is the first in the DC Ffion Morgan series and features one of the most loathsome characters I've come across. #BookSky Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/4zwdwcuz

Happy publication day to @janecasey.bsky.social and @harpercollins.bsky.social for #EverythingSheDidntSay This book will have you constantly questioning the narrative, unsure if recollections are real or fabricated. #BookSky Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/k27s3fev
