Reading This Autumn

Hi guys, sorry it's been so long. Well.. it's been a week but that to me is a long time. I've been super busy with work, uni and uni work, everything is starting to pile ontop of me. But on the bright side I've managed to find some time to sit down and write a post for you all. I recently took a trip to the library and picked up a few new books, even though it seems like i won't have much time to read i wanted to make sure i have something there for when i need to wind down and have some time to myself. I want to be able to sit in a cosy room with my fairy lights on, a few candles lit and read a good book.

The Death House by Sara Pinborough  (current read)
Toby's life was perfectly normal.. until it was unravelled by something as simple as a blood test. Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House, an out of time existence far from the modern world, where he, and the others who live there, are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. They are looking for any sign of sickness. Any sign of their charges changing. Any sign that it's time to take them to the humanitarian. Because everybody dies. It's how you choose to live that counts.

The House At The End Of Hope Street by Menna Van Praag
When tragedy strikes Alber Ashby, she finds herself at the door of a house she's never noticed before. Number 11, Hope Street in Cambridge is no ordinary house. It's walls are steeped in the wisdom of past residents: Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Parker and Agatha Christie to name a few. Alber accepts an invitation to stay, offered to her under the condition she has 99 nights, and no more, to turn her life around. Guided by the energy of the house, where portraits come alive, bookcases refill themselves and hot chocolate has healing properties, the enchanting experience Alber and her friends share will change their lives forever.

The Queen Of The Tearling by Erica Johansen
It was on her nineteenth birthday that the soldiers came for Kelsea Glynn. They came to escort her back to the place of her birth- to ensure she takes possession of what is rightfully hers. But like many nineteen year olds Kelsea is unruly, has high principles and believes she knows better than her elders. Unlike many nineteen year olds, she is about to inherit a kingdom that is on it's knees- corrupt, debauched and dangerous. Kelsea will either become the most fearsome ruler the kingdom has known.. or be dead within the week. 

A Room Swept White by Sophie Hannah
On the same day, Fliss finds out she's going to be working on a documentary about miscarriages of justice involving cot-death mothers wrongly accused of murder. the documentary will focus on three women: Helen Yardley, Sarah Jaggard and Rachel Hines. All three are now free, and the child protection zelot who did her best to send them to prison for life, Dr Judith Duffy, is under investigation for misconduct. For reasons she has shared with nobody, this is the last project Fliss wants to be working on. And then Helen Yardley is found dead at her home, and in her pocket is a card with six numbers on it, arranged in four rows of four..

Another exciting thing going on in my life at the minute, i've written one of my favourite posts Autumn Essentials for one of my blogger friends. Joanna is doing a week of women to celebrate her year old blog! Keep checking her blog for my post and the other lovely women who are guest posting too.

As you can tell i haven't picked up a love story for this month, i guess i was feeling more mysterious than lovey dovey. Anyway, tell me what you're reading this month or if you've read any of these ones! I'm sure i will be doing a review of some of these books later in the month.

Love,

Danielle
