Only actually just heard about this from a fellow book blogger Lauren, (check out her goals here.) and I can say I'm really excited about this AS it i'll also be my first ever read-a-thon! 

 Have I been living under a rock? Yes.. apparently so. 

 As it all kicks of tomorrow, I thought it would be wise to quickly share some of my goal! 
Now I can't exactly say, I haven't been reading a lot lately.. because  that would be a flat out lie. I never go anywhere without my Kindle, however it'll finally give me a reason to finish all the books that I've still got lying around, unfinished for one reason or another.  (I get into the habit of putting down a book when things get too tough.. 

 EXHIBIT A.. 
The Evolution of Mara Dryer... now I've only got about two chapters left.. but I just can't bring myself to finish, too afraid what the cliffhanger everyones been raving on about will do to me.

 & Then theres also Charade by Nyrae Dawn, I'm around two quarters into the book, GREAT story, but here we are again.. I just can't bring myself to deal with what's about to happen in the next chapter.. 

 Additionally there's Opal, Shatter Me and numerous others..

 I'm such a wimp! 

 But no more, this Week, I WILL finish these off once and for all! 
GOALS 
Finish of books listed above/ type up review
Make at least 3 more connections with other book bloggers 

 Participate in more challenges! 

G'luck to every body!

Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! As landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider – whatever her colourful array of guests require. A flick through the messages in the leather-bound cottage guestbook gives a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of everyone who passes through her doors. This includes Annie herself – especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with. ...

Guest Post by Jack Croxall - Pre-Halloween Special!

By BookblogBuzz
Time for another Special Guest Post,  Huzza!   Today's Guest Post will be from Nottingham-based Author Jack Croxal l! His new best-selling   short story X is now available for purchase from Amazon UK & Amazon US.  Halloween Guest blog – Jack Croxall I love Halloween. Not just because of the fancy dress and mischievous hijinks, but because of all the spooky stories that rear their creepy heads to give us goose bumps, shudders and, most importantly, that little something extra to think about. A gory supernatural horror is all well and good, but I find a spooky tale is all the more unsettling if it is driven by something real; by a theme or character we can relate to, or even by a situation we recognise from real life.
