And today's exciting outing with Mum was a trip to IKEA, yes we ate meatballs, cuddled the toys (debated bringing home several but decided to be "grownups"), and spent less than planned. While getting absolutely no inspiration for refurnish and reaccessorising the living room.

Headed back in to Caimh McDonnell #TheStrangerTimes office to see what on earth they did to upset Santa! Beautifully turned in to a Christmas pressie with the Bert’s Books scarlet ribbon.

Ridiculously pleased to finally get this email today. Delivery Monday so that's me spending the day waiting impatiently! Colleen Doran Good Omens HQ

Bringing back my Hat of Chance has gone down well, so with just 8 pre-order shopping days till #LetTheBellsRingOut publishes, I've got the #1 SIGNED hardback (+ merch) to giveaway! RP&Follow by 10am 20th Oct to get your name in the Hat (UK only). First name drawn at 11am #WINs.

I always feel slightly guilty when book buying from the W shop because I could be using an indie, but 25% off, plus my loyalty points, and Bluelight discount code mean £90 of books for £20 cash (£50 points). And still lots of early next year releases to preorder.

Giveaway! The Christmas Tree Killer is published by HarperNorth on 6th November. If you’d like to get your hands on a signed copy early, all you have to do is RT! I’ll pick three winners on Friday 24th October. Good luck! #Giveaway

I picked this one up over a year ago after having a couple of Gerald Durrels books in my vintage book sub box. Interesting to find out the less varnished aspects of the move to Corfu. TBR now 98/294

Another couple of reads swopping shelves. My first by Natali Simmonds definitely won't be the last. TBR now 102/294
