One thing I have managed to master this year once again is reading. OK, I have to use audible as I find words now bounce around the place, however, the enjoyment is worth it.
I was recently contacted to see if I would like to giveaway a couple of copies of Lanesbrough Hall by Elisabeth Linley and I thought it would be a lovely idea to pass on the joy of reading.
Lanesbrough Hall by Elisabeth Linley
Lanesbrough Hall tells the story of two women, whose lives are connected across time. Offering up a story of love, loss and intrigue. Set in an ancestral home in Scotland, it offers up an intriguing read full of secrets and just a touch of magic.
Scotland 1953: Leaving behind her beloved Lanesbrough Hall and her teenage love Will, Mimi heads off to start university life at St Andrew’s. While there she meets Glen at a party and becomes convinced she has found a new life of independence and glamour.
However, destiny has other plans for her and torn between passion and convention Mimi has to navigate her journey from a young and carefree, to a life of responsibility and secret that will forever tie her to Lanesbrough Hall.
London 2019: Isabelle is an ambitious doctor, she knows where she wants life to take her. That is until she unexpectedly inherits Lanesbrough Hall. Heading off to visit her family’s ancestral estate she has no idea what lies ahead.
It is only while browsing through her grandmother’s diaries, Isabelle discovers some long-buried secrets, which could bring everyone together or tear them apart. Will Isabelle be able to rewrite her family’s, future, by taking a step into the past and rewriting their history?

What has been your favourite read of the year and why?
Good Luck!
Pin It!
The Christmas Wedding by Dilly Court which kept me engrossed until the very end and then I was sad I had read it so quickly.
I am a,ways looking for new bedtime reading.
I absolutely adored The Keeper of Stories. The characters came alive for me and I felt really engrossed with the storyline. Janice, the main character, was incredibly likeable and it was wonderful to watch her development as the story progressed. It has some laugh out loud moments too!
Silent as the grave by Paul Gitsham. There so many twists and turns it was hard to put down
I have just finished reading Six Days by Dani Atkins
What has been your favourite read of the year and why?
‘The Collation Unit’ David Jarvis, fantastic characterisation, great plot, l could not put it down
I’ve been reading quite a lot of non fiction books recently. One that stands out this year is Matthew Perry’s book… I loved his honesty.
Probably Six of Crows as it introduced me to a fantasy author who was new to me and so added lots of books to my ‘to read’ list.
Executioner, The Chronicles of James Berry, Victorian Hangman, why, because the future is to bring back the death penalty.
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman! It is hilarious!
I love anything by Trudi Canavan, I can’t put her books down once I start, truly a great writer.
The family upstairs by Lisa Jewell
I loved it because it is so full of twists & turns. Many people in the book are unpleasant & coercive and you wonder why the others put up with them. Ultimately you have to know what happens so you are compelled to read on to the end.
Oliver Twist, it’s such a classic and never dates
The snow Bride by Dilly court as all her books that I’ve read have been fantastic.
I’ve been reading some of the Bill Slider series by Cynthia Harrod Eagles. They are a bit of fun and I get the impression that the author enjoys writing them.
This is embarrassing to admit, but I have had a manic year with work, so have not had chance to read a book in the last year. I do have several books waiting to be read though.
Sadly, I have been studying and working, so not had time for any reading for pleasure, but am hoping to get back to it next year!
My favourite book has been Light Between Oceans, M L Steadman. I loved it because it was one of those books that stays with you a long time as you were engrossed with the characters. It might also have something to do with my great grandfather being a lighthouse keeper!
My fav book of the year has been ‘The Change’ by Kirsten Miller, a book which crosses several genres, feminism, crime thriller, magic & mythology. The main 3 characters are women of a certain age (menopause) like myself who find their inner strength & power. It is a book every woman can relate to as it covers all aspects of female life in a modern society, and how we encounter misogyny in it’s various forms, and about women getting their own back! It was so unique and different unlike anything I have read before. Highly recommended!
I also struggle with names of books. I think when you kindle read it does not stick the same way without a lovely cover. The last I read was ‘the marriage lie^ which was an OK bit of escapism
Great competition, for me I read about 50 books a year and not many if any titles stick in my mind. I even struggle to remember authors!
Not a new book, but I’ve just read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I have saw the film before, but there is more content in the book, and makes it an intrest rad that I found hard to put down!!
I can honestly say I don’t read much. I do find it hard to absorb the words I read so I tend to read the same paragraph twice or more before I make out what it is saying. Saying that, I do want to find a good book and read again. I want to be taken out of this world and into the story itself. I love the synopsis of this book. I love a bit of mystery and time travel so would love to give it a go
I thought Girl with the Louding voice was a magnificent read – very thought provoking and written apparently by a girl that one of my best friends went to uni to study creative writing with which I only found out after reading it!
Are you being served lady janey – a collection of poems – inspiration
