It’s been 9 WHOLE DAYS since #Domevember has begun and I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who has generously given their time answering questions, designing the banner, revising the schedule of the month and generally being so supportive of this whole endeavour!

Thanks to Emily Glennister and Jem Butcher of Dome Press whose help was invaluable and everyone who has shared their reviews, retweeted, posted their intentions to buy books and so on.

Apart from 3 titles that Emily so kindly sent me, I have purchased all of the books reviewed this month. So when you read a review, it is 100% honest (hopefully regular readers of this blog will be aware that I have no interest in flannelling egos, just a plain desire to read and engage with fellow readers! )

What you will read on any of the #IndieBookLoveFest posts and comments, is an honest belief and support of independent publishers and their authors. When we live in uncertain times such as these, we need books and the escapsim offered by them, more than ever, so let’s look to the publishers and bloggers who support indies unabashedly, unashamedly and without bias!

So this weekend, finally,is a weekend off. HURRAY! Mostly because I might have an inkling of what day it is by Monday….honestly for someone who has to write the date so often in my job, how are my colleagues and me always muttering ‘What day is it again?’

After becoming involved in 1960’s France last week, I am hooked,I tells ya, on the Adrian Magson ‘Rocco’ series.

So after being submerged all week ‘‘In The Woods’ with Tana French, I will be tucking into Death On The Pont Noir!

1963. A disagreement in a restaurant near Amiens turns to violence, and three English tourists are questioned by police.

A misunderstanding, say the men, who claim they are visiting local British military cemeteries in search of a family member ‘s grave.

They even have a map of the region to prove it. They offer generous compensation and profuse apologies before being released. After all, there are talks of building a channel tunnel; why stir up trouble unnecessarily?

But when Inspector Lucas Rocco learns that one of the Englishmen is a London gangster with links to the notorious Kray twins, he decides to investigate further. He uncovers a shady trail of crime that may end with the assassination of the President himself.

And that will be followed by…Sky’s the Limit’ by Janie Millman!

Sky is devastated when she finds that her husband is in love with someone else, even more that it is her oldest friend Nick. She has lost the two most important men in her life and can’t ever trust either of them again.

To escape, she goes alone on a dream trip to Marrakesh and meets Gail, on a mission to meet the father of her child, a man she loved but thought did not want her.

In Marrakesh, Sky and Gail both find unexpected joys – and surprises. For Sky these lead to France, to a beautiful chateau and a family whose relationships seem as complicated as her own.

Doesn’t that sound brilliant? And it is on Kindle Unlimited at the moment so hurry!

As ever, let me know what you are reading, if you will maybe pick up either (or both!) this weekend and if you have any indie recs for us in the comments section!
