pickThis was a really dark read. It was interesting but the topic is very dark. Its written both in the past and the present by both Julianne and Holly so that does allow more depth to the story. The ending was good but if I'm honest I wanted more. I would have liked to see the aftermath. The characters are not overly likeable and it becomes clear who might be worse than you're lead to believe. It works for the plot though. #Netgalley 3*
so-so16-year-old Connie is left home alone for 2 weeks whilst her mum, Lou, & older sister, Isla, are touring colleges. Connie hates being left on her own but on the bright side, at least she will be away from her mum's vlogging schedule for the whole fortnight. Ever since Lou discovered that she could make money online, the two girls have had their entire lives put out there & it makes attending school even more of a chore. (continued)

Violet may have been a villain, but when evil adopted father dies, she has an opportunity to start over, by opening a florist shop in the town next to the castle she used to live in. But a power vacuum is tempting to other villains, and Violet may find it harder to be good than she expected.
I really enjoyed this cozy fantasy about people looking for a second chance.

pickThis is book 4 in the series and the first I have read but I will definitely go back and find the earlier ones. Its a really clever and twisty story. This is a bit of a slow burn to begin with but it keeps you reading. The story is told by multiple characters and jumps times a bit but its easy to follow, and helps the story develop. The ending was really cleverly put together and I enjoyed the various twists along the way. #Netgalley 4*

pickThis is a well-researched, very readable account of the history of the campaigns for female suffrage (voting rights) in the UK. As per the title, it concentrates heavily on the parallel, more militant suffragette movement in the UK & its links to the Pankhurst family in particular.
The author does an excellent job of being balanced towards the subjects - detailing the many good things about the campaigns but also not ignoring areas of weakness,
