Never has a quote been so relevant to EVERY book worm around the globe (and further!). SO many books, but so little time! The same can also be said for book bloggers. We read that many books so we can share them with our audience, but we find ourselves short of time to write all our thoughts down in a comprehensive review.
This brings us nicely to ‘Mini Review Monday’. A place where, to compliment our current content, we can share with you some of our initial thoughts on books we have been reading over the last week 🙂
READY FOR FLYNN (Ready for Flynn #1) by K.L. Shandwick
Are you ready for Flynn?
At the very start of this book I wasn’t sure how I felt about the storyline, but as it progressed I loved the way the characters evolved and developed and as the story grew and I became emotionally invested in the story as though what was happening directly involved me personally which at one point in the story what happened really knocked me for six (the phrase emotionally ruined me was actually used at the time).
I cannot wait to pick up book 2 to see what happens next, and to see if I really am ready for another installment of Flynn Doherty.

THE HOUSE OF MANY WAYS (Howl’s Moving Castle #3) by Diana Wynne Jones
This is the third book in the Howl series, and it is still as magical and random as the previous stories.
In this book Charmain house sits her Uncles house whilst he is away, and things do not go to plan!
This lovely fantasy story is so easy to read you feel that you are in the constant changing rooms and corridors in the house or attempting the magic that is described. The characters are strong (and sometimes stroppy), the town and landscape are well imagined.
I would very much like to read a book 4 if there ever is one, I live in hope!

HAUNTED NOTTINGHAMSHIRE; GHOST STORIES by Julia Skinner
As it was Halloween, I thought I’d read local haunting book.
This is full of local mysteries, ghostly goings on and hauntings. Some of which I had previously heard about but some completely new to me.
I’d fully recommend picking up one of these books if you are interested in reading about the haunted happenings in your hometown!
