I haven’t done a reading list since July on the blog, which isn’t to say that I haven’t been reading but just haven’t published it.

…or brains are sexy, so says The Gardener.

I thought that was quite funny because we all read don’t we but it is nice to talk about what’s on our current reading lists.

Here are some of your wonderful suggestions for next months reading list:

It’s been far too long since I’ve written about my monthly reading list so as it is the beginning of the month I thought I might kick things off by mentioning what’s on for July.
It’s my turn in book club to choose a book so in an attempt to pick something no one has yet read I chose M.J. Hyland’s ‘This is How,’ which is on the new release list. I haven’t poked my nose inside it as yet but by all accounts it looks fab.
