Latest Book Reviews for April

 #WOYBS

#WHATSONYOURBOOKSHELF


A magical memoir/nature book set on Orkney is the highlight of Is This Mutton's April reading in 2026

Dear friends. A more contemplative selection of books this month, with two outstanding memoirs and a couple of books set in the past. 

I'm starting first with my 5 star read, the non-fiction The Apothecary by the Sea by Victoria Bennett. An inspiring and spellbinding read. Thanks as always to NetGalley and the various publishers of the books reviewed below for the advance digital copies.

Your Best Face: Look Fabulous Forever

 And #TuesdayTwirl


A beauty special from Is This Mutton featuring Look Fabulous Forever, Prime Prometics hairline powder and Luminance Milano


Dear friends.  A veritable feast of beauty tips for the over 50s today as I share my thoughts on two products you've probably seen advertised on Instagram. I'll also be creating a natural "no make-up look" with products from Look Fantastic Forever (gifted).

Spring Style

 And #TuesdayTwirl 


Dear friends.  I hope you had a joyful Easter, if it's something you celebrate. It was just the hubs and me on Easter Sunday, as both children and their kids had gone away. We had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant which was very busy and full of Spring delight.

I was inspired by Spring primroses to wear lime and yellow. It was undecided, weather wise: sunny intervals but quite windy and a few occasional showers.
