This month, I am a few days early with my reading roundup as things are going to be pretty busy for the remainder of the month.
I had a lovely trip away this month and visited the Hungerford Bookshop which was lovely. If you are ever in Berkshire I recommend a visit there.
My time away enabled me to sit and read lots of super books this month. Without further ado, here they are.
Books I Have Read
When I Fell From the Sky by Juliane Koepcke - This was my book group choice this month and it had a mixed reception. It is a remarkable story but the overall feeling was that it was inconsistent in the quality of the writing. However, I enjoyed reading about this extraordinary woman. Purchase link - Bookshop.org *
