Have used my left over Christmas vouchers and purchased:

The Land Girls by Victoria Purman - Historical Fiction that I am hearing good things about.
Will Rise from Ashes by Jean M. Grant - sort of apocalyptic (Yellowstone Park blows up) mixed with womens Fiction (single mum goes in to disaster area to find missing son with younger son who has autism) has very high Goodreads score and some friends with my reading DNA have been raving over it.

So a good haul 😀

Good picks Sally!

I am keeping my 'Acquired shelf under 100 books - I am working at this so hard I may burst a capillary or two ;) Reading about other peoples finds makes it better though.
