Oh dear day 5 of my personal challenge and I've already stumbled. No post or review yesterday but with very good reason!

Firstly the review - this is because the book I read was an ARC and I won't be posting my review until a little nearer the publication date - but I did enjoy it. Without giving too much away it was a New Adult, set in a college (yes I know there are a lot of them about at the moment!) but it did have a great story line and there is the promise of more to come in the series.

Secondly, my lack of a post. Well sometimes life gets in the way too much. I've got a lot going on right now - Mum is in hospital having had a hip replacement so I'm back and forth to see her; my darling Daughter is going through a very traumatic split up and Hubby has a really big interview coming up on Friday which meant that we had to go shopping for a new suit and tie and he also has to do a set-theme presentation to the interview panel so I've been helping him with that - although helping probably isn't exactly right it's more been moral support, coffee on demand, that kind of thing.

So to today.  Yes I've read and reviewed another book - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/812630383

I've also decided to set myself a bit of a sub-challenge - and that is to see how many of the books I read year I got for free, either as an ARC or as a free download from Amazon.  So here is the total to date:

ARC:     1
Free:      4

so essentially so far this year I've spent NOTHING on new books - that should keep my bank balance happy.

I already have my next couple of books lined up and they were free downloads as well.

Have a great Sunday :)
