This week

I'm reading

I had a pretty varied week of reading this week.

Firstly, I finished reading The Secrets of the Italian Guesthouse by Sue Moorcroft which I reviewed here. I also finished reading Don't Brake My Heart by Leonie Mack which I reviewed as part of Paris in July, given that it is set against the backdrop of the Tour de France!

Then I moved onto Seascraper by Benjamin Wood and Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson. This is the fourth book in the Ernest Cunningham crime series. 

Next up was The Book Lovers Bucket List by Hannah Claire which I was reading for a blog tour. The review for that one will be up on Wednesday. 

I have started Escape to the Turquoise Seas by Carrie Walker which is also for a blog tour. I need to get that read and reviewed by Friday.

I also started reading The Secret Society of Librarians by Kate Thompson which I need to finish this week as I can't renew it with the library.

So that's some romance, a crime fiction, a couple of historical fiction novels, one of which was pretty literary!

Nothing much in particular that I haven't already posted about!

Life

We didn't really have a lot planned for this weekend but I ended up making two impromptu decisions to go to some markets. 

The first one we visited was a German Christmas Market which was held at a winery in the countryside about 30 minutes from us! Given that we generally have hot weather at Christmas, Christmas in July gives us the opportunity to have gluwein and get rugged up in our winter woolies! It was a bit of fun!

On Sunday, Brooke from All the Books I Can Read and I went to visit a new romance store/cafe which has opened around 40 minutes away from us! I then dragged her along to the Bastille Day French Market which is held at the iconic Queen Victoria Markets here in Melbourne!
