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?

This sounds like a really interesting and fun read full of drama.
This looks to be a really good read and set somewhere i know well.
The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy which was one of the strangest yet compelling books I’ve ever read.
Vladimir by Julia May Jonas which is a clever and engrossing debut novel.
I reread The Thornbirds after forty years and I was engrossed by the story as much as I was first time round
I enjoyed the Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood which was a fantastic contemporary romance.
Desert Star by Michael Connelly because I waited so long to read it and love his books
Madly, Deeply: The Alan Rickman Diaries, such a LEGEND.
The Woman in Black, by Susan Hill. I loved its wild, unsettling landscape and the way the bad weather added to the growing tension. It is a subtle tale, with a shocking ending which stayed with me for days.
Fairy Tale – Stephen King, such an amazing book still thinking about it now!
I really enjoyed The Measure by Nikki Erlick – it was such an interesting plot, something I would never have thought of and the twist and turns were just brilliant. Really got me thinking.
Found by Erin Kinsley was a gripping book. I enjoyed the storyline and it was gripping. A boy had been kidnapped but it focused on how the family coped.
This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay, very entertaining but with some sad undertones!!
The Scarlet Nightingale because it was an easy to imagine story and very well written
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. I loved the amazing descriptive writing it was as if I was there. The plot held my attention as well and the characters were well constructed.
Wish You Were Here – Jodi Picoult. A great read, with Covid playing a big role in the plot. I was gripped to discover how this story would end.
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, because it just took me into another world and was so magical.
My favourite read of the year has been The View Was Exhausting by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta because it was set in the glamour of the world of film stars and millionaires but had a touching love story at its centre.
I’m glad my mom died by janette mccurdy was an interesting insight.
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. I wanted to read the book after watching the film version earlier this year.
The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom, because i just could not put it down!
Ariadne – just another lovely take on a classic story
A Gentlrman in Moscow by Amor Towles, a beautifully written gentle story
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, i love the hunger games and this was a great backstory
