Dear friends. An exciting month for me as I was nominated for UK Book Blogger of the Year. I must add however that it was a LONG long list and I didn't make the short list. I didn't expect to, because although I review books extensively on NetGalley, I'm not a dedicated book blogger.
I simply read books and share my thoughts with you because I know most of you are avid readers.
Many thanks to those who voted for me!

Dear friends. I bought this gorgeous purple trench a few weeks ago and still haven't had chance to wear it. We had a very dry summer and autumn is continuing in the same vein.
But at least I have it for when rain inevitably strikes.
I spotted the trench coat at Hobbs and knew I must act quickly. What I've learnt about purple is that when retailers have any of the bright true purple shade, it flies out of the door. I don't understand why they don't stock more of it.
Dear friends. Today's book spotlight is on a novel that sends chills down the spine. Author Michelle Paver has done it again with another brilliantly researched book that is both eerie and thought provoking.
A few years I read her book Thin Air, about a mountaineering expedition that went wrong. I still think about it to this day. I immediately read her books Dark Matter and Wakenhyrst.
Several years have elapsed since the last book. Rainforest is a stunner, and gets 5 stars from me.
Join me on today's blog tour to learn more about the story and the author.
GIFTED COLLABORATION
Dear friends. I don't often do collaborations with brands but when I was contacted by Belfast based Lighthouse Clothing and looked at their site, I couldn't resist. I would buy their pieces in a heart beat.
Lighthouse is a family-focused British brand with a love for practical, stylish layering.
I chose three garments from the new autumn/winter collection and I was absolutely blown away by the quality.
