It’s been a very busy month, with lots of exciting goings on. The book festival being a particular highlight, although my bank balance might not agree after I completely ignored my book buying ban.

A witty and sharp short story collection with stories that really resonate with you.

A second chance sports romance, which maybe needed a bit more tension but was entertaining.

The Fact Of A Body
My first book festival event, this true crime/memoir was at times a dificult read but in my opinion worth it.

37 Hours
Part two in the Nadia Laksheva series this thrilling and pacey book, is one of my favourites of the year.

Public Library and Other Stories
A quirky collection of short stories interspersed with recollections of peoples experiences with libraries. My second festival event was to see Ali Smith, who I always enjoy.

The Collective
Pirates, time travel and a secret society, some very good ingredients to make an entertaining read.
I also hosted an excerpt of the book if it sounds like your thing.

The Lie Of The Land
One of my last festival events was to see Amanda Craig talk about this book. It is a great book, looking at the nature of relationships and forgiveness, with dark humour and a bit of mystery thrown in too.

The Singles Game
An easy beach read, great for any tennis lovers out there.

The Law Of Attraction
A fabulous book about newbie lawyer Amanda battling it out against her nemesis from law school to get a job. Think a more in depth legally blonde.
I also hosted an extract from the start of the book, so you can see if it’s for you.

So this should have gone in last month’s post but since I had been so busy I forgot, I was lucky to receive these wonderful books for my birthday, if anyone’s read them let me know what you thought.

Books bought
Yes my bank balance took a bit of a beating what with there being a bookshop at the Edinburgh Book Festival and my having no will power, these are the books that I splashed out on, anyone read any of these?
