Well, how is everyone? How was your month? I can’t believe August it is already over! Well, I did have 3 weeks much needed time off work. I did so little reading which was strange but kind of refreshing. I knew I would be taking a break in August and to be honest, apart from the blog tours I have coming up. I will be taking another break. I will share reviews etc when I can but back at work now and so things will get tricky. I did also have 3 AuthorTakeOver booked in and I have postponed them for the time being, because it appears my MOJO has gone missing, so if anyone could find it for me and return it that would be fab.
I had a busy and adventurous time with the mini one for the 3 weeks I was off. We had family down, lots of day trips and accumulated 10 new babies………it was my idea and I seem to have lost the ownership of them all.So we have 10 fishes and they have ALL been named, but it is only me that can tell the difference LOL.
Garden update, had to rip out loads of flowers as they got ruined by the local cats but I have planted more in preparation for next Spring. Plus the baby hedgehog came out a few times to say hi and even sat with the cat! Plus with the amount of Butterfly eggs and Caterpillar’s I have had, we found a cocoon in the garden, so more butterflies and caterpillars on the way!
What Have I Read This Month?
So not too bad considering last month I read 21. I would have smashed my 20 Books for Summer too if I had been kinder to myself.
What Have I Got This Month?
I have been a bit naughty! I had to pre-order a book by the wonderful Fiona Leitch. Also, because Midnight Sun came out I had to break my ban and then rebuy the Twilight books. Obviously! The others are freebies/library. Yes, you will spy 1 NetGalley one but that is because it is for a tour and I couldn’t say no to the author.

I love that you have a hedgehog, and the picture with the cat is just perfect xx
Zoé says
Aw thanks Jill, we have a whole family of them and my neighbour feeds them bless her xx
Jill's Book Cafe says
This holiday cottage we’re is supposed to have a family of visiting hedgehogs. Have been out each night but no sightings so far ?
Zoé says
Oh no! I hope you see him soon! I haven’t seen ours in a while now 🙁
Jill's Book Cafe says
I spotted one last night, they’ve been sneaking in earlier than I was looking ?
Zoé says
ha ha the sneaky little mite. I have been told by my neighbours that between the 3 gardens we have about 6 of them!
Jill's Book Cafe says
That’s good to hear. We need to protect them.
Hayley at RatherTooFondofBooks says
It looks like you’ve had a fabulous month on your blog and that you’ve read some great books. I hope your mojo returns soon. I’ve lost my mojo for reading and blogging at the moment and am trying to be easier on myself about it. I hope yours returns very soon. xx
Kelly says
I love that you got fishies ?? Now all you need is a few chickens ? I love your garden and the hedgehog! Maybe your mojo is on a trip with mine? That would explain A LOT ?
Zoé says
ha ha not sure chickens will be on the list, i think the next thing is frogs LOL. Our mojos are naughty if we can’t have a holiday they shouldnt LOL xx
