Sea State by J.M. Simpson is a book that picked for me as part of me followers picks of the year. if you don't know, at the start of the year, I asked all of my followers to pick a book and then I chose the 12 most-liked or recommended and put one as each month of the year. Sea State was one of these books after some people said it was a hidden gem. I can wholeheartedly agree. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

I'm starting to really get into my thrillers. I think previously I wasn't appreciating the connecting plot and the interweaving stories that come with the genre. But as I've read more and taken more care to understand them, I've really began to appreciate it. The Girls Who Disappeared by Claire Douglas is another thriller that absolutely nails it for me with a generous, intelligent story and a cast of characters that do just enough to make me care.

This was not the case with The Housemaid which I was incredibly impressed by, even going as far as to include it in my top ten books of the year list.

I picked up The Housemaid because it was dirt cheap on Amazon - I'm talking £2.50 for a brand-new copy of the paperback. After finishing The Return of the King, I thought I'd pick something up a little lighter that didn't require quite as much time and effort to read/listen to. Enter The Handmaid.

I saw that The Sanctuary was doing quite well in the 'best-seller' charts recently and so decided, after having kindly been sent it by Viper Books last year, that I'd pick up the early copy they'd sent across to me. The premise was an interesting one - it's about a man whose fiancé goes off to work on this project on an island with a billionaire and then decides to potentially call off their engagement because something on the island is telling her she should stay and focus on that. Therefore, he must go and find her and convince her to come back home with him. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.
