1665 The Institution

1610 The Seaside Cocktail Campervan

10 books down, 2 go.

Most recent finish was The Seaside Cocktail Campervan. 4 stars, a nice easy summer read. Likeable characters. Loved the concept of the mobile catering businesses. There's a Christmas book as a follow on which I'll look forward to reading

1552 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

9th book finished
The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo

I've heard a lot about this week, a lot of great reviews, and lots of people reading it. But I wasn't really sure if it was my taste or not. I finally got round to reading it this week and it certainly lived up to the hype. Whilst I didn't entirely like the main character of Evelyn, I did find the book hard to put down. I didn't predict the twist at the end. I've already bought another book by this author (Carrie Soto Is Back)

Buried Angels, the 8th book in the Fjallbacka series. Like the rest of the series, I enjoyed this book and liked the short chapters telling what happened in the past. I'm gradually working through this series and look forward to the next book
