My April 2023 TBR


Six of Crows & Crooked Kingdom - Leigh Bardugo

I can't believe that being the fantasy fan that I am, I haven't read this yet. I bought these back in December last year and I've been waiting to read them so I have a few days to binge. I've got them marked for the Easter Bank holiday!


A Fatal Crossing - Tom Hindle

I tried reading this last year and I think I just wasn't in a great place at the time - I made it about 40% of the way through. It'd one of the few books I've ever DNF'd, BUT I don't think that's anything to do with the book itself - so I'm going to give it another go. 


Fatherland - Robert Harris

For some reason, this book has always intrigued me and this month I WILL read it. The premise is of what could have happened in the UK had Germany won the second world war. Knowing what we now know, I'm keen to see how it plays out. 


My Killer Vacation - Tessa Bailey

A spontaneous find a few months ago, but I've enjoyed the other Tessa Bailey books so far. Looks like it's going to be a different from what I've read before but I'm hoping it's going to be steamy easy read. 


Belladonna - Adalyn Grace

I'm holding my hands up - this was a cover based read. I actually won my copy from a Twitter competition by the lovely Roxie (The Bookish Bluebird) and I've been eagerly awaiting a nice weekend of nothing to get stuck in. 


Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky

After reading Project Hail Mary, I went on a bit of a discovery of Sci-Fi books and this one really piqued my interest. I'd never heard of it before and it's the first instalment of a trilogy. 


The Leviathan - Rosie Andrews

Another spontaneous buy; this time from a trip to Waterstones with money burning a whole in my pocket.

Christmas At The Island Hotel - Jenny Colgan

  If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times - for me, snuggling down with a Jenny Colgan book is like a hug from an old friend. And Christmas At The Island Hotel is no exception. Now, this is part of a series in the way that it follows a family of characters for their fourth installment, however as always, this works perfectly as a standalone book. Fintan, grieving the loss of his partner, has been left to open The Rock - the hotel on the island of Mure. Suddenly, this born and bred farmer needs to source a kitchen team to maintain the legacy of his late partner. And now he has a French chef that no one else wants, working in his kitchen. Konstantin, Norwegian party boy and all round spoilt brat, has been cast out by his Dad and has to learn how to be self sufficient. He finds himself on the remote island of Mure, halfway between Scotland and Norway, with no money, no friends and no idea how to chop an onion,  As always, Jenny expertly weaves the lives of the characters togeth

This Time Next Year - Sophie Cousens

I wanted a wholesome New Years based read to finish 2022 with, and This Time Next Year delivered! I originally added this to my list back at the beginning of 2021 and I found it on Apple Books for just £3.99 so decided to go all in.  Minnie and Quinn were both born on the 1st January 1990. Born in the same hospital, to strangers, they meet again on the morning of their 30th birthday after an eventful New Years Eve.  This book reminded me a lot of One Day - the way the story is laid out - flashbacks to New Years Eves of years gone by, showed where each of the characters were at the varying points of their lives. With interwoven stories throughout the years, the two begin a friendship that neither of them quite have the time or inclination for.  This was the perfect cosy read for the end of the year and I sped through it in one evening.

Barbarian Lover - Ruby Dixon

If someone told me 6 months ago that I'd be using Blue Alien smut as a palette cleanser between my books.. I probably would have laughed at them. But that's apparently the BookTok curse. Once again, I found myself diving into the world of Ruby Dixon's sci-fi romance series and this time we were following Kara's story. Once again, this is a FUN series. The format is similar in all of them, so it's not groundbreaking writing or literary fiction but it's good natured, easy to read and there's plenty of big blue alien d*ck.
