Hello again bookworms!
I hope you've all had a wonderful Summer full of the best summer reads - I've definitely had a few! As usual, a lot of these books were advance requests so the dates will be in the future but you should definitely check them out once they're released. I started reading for the wonderful publisher called Europa Editions who specialise in translating and reprinting wonderful stories from different languages all over the world into English so I've got to read some amazing books I'd never have discovered before!

Summer Highlights:
The Startup Wife
This was my first introduction to Tahmima Anam and I'm sure it won't be the last I hear of her - this book had it all for me. Strong women, geekiness, romance, questioning my very existence - what a book. After reading the advance review copy so kindly gifted to me, I had to go out and buy the signed hardback too because this needs pride of place on my shelf!
Rock Paper Scissors
After the sucess of Sometimes I Lie, I had very high expectations of Alice Feeney and she didn't dissapoint me. Thrilling, intruiging, whip-smart and twisty - I adored this book. This title has also been optioned by Netflix so definitely keep an eye out for the adaptation!
Poison For Breakfast
Lemony Snicket was one of the authors that inspired my love of reading when I was a child, I still have my very aging copies of A Series Of Unfortunate Events on my bookshelf to this day. And this was so very familiar in a wonderfully unique way but with a brand new and wickedly clever story as usual. Delightful and absurd.
