It's That Time Again....Summer Reading List time

Every year around this time, I write a summer reading list....

it's usually made up of books I've been meaning to read for some time, some new fiction & some recommendations from other bloggers.

I love to read on my summer holidays....

this year I'll be in the mountains of northern Italy rather than on the beach in the south of France

but I'm already compiling my list.

Every year readers of my blog share some great recommendations & I'd love to hear from you if you would like to recommend a book for my Summer Reading List post....

So, read anything good recently....tell me?!

I've read all of these in the last few weeks & really enjoyed them, 

"Rules of Civility" by Amor Towles was my favourite, I absolutely loved it.

Happy Week-end!

Gorgeous weather in London this week, another busy school week & this week-end I am preparing for our trip to Italy next Friday for a family wedding, I cannot wait.

Thanks for all the lovely comments this week, happy week-end!
