Thank you to all of the publishers, agents, and NetGalley who gave me some brilliant arcs and proofs this year, I’m always very grateful. 

I hope you’ve all had a good year, here’s to next year being a good one too. Wishing you all the best for 2022. Thank you for being such fab people.

Stay safe, stay well, happy reading

Wow, how has it been a year of reading with these fabulous ladies?! We met doing Netgalley November in 2020, and a few of us (13 to be exact) decided to keep going as a book group on Twitter for 2021. But it has went from a group of 13 discussing a book every Saturday, to a close group of friends who now WhatsApp each other everyday, ad I couldn’t be without them now.
