Never Evers by Tom Ellen & Lucy Ivison - Romance. Mayhem. Hamsters. Not your average school trip...
I loved Lobsters - the frank and funny debut from this writing duo, and Never Evers while aimed at a younger audiences (first kisses rather than first times!) sounds like a very cute read too!

Dangerous Lies by Becca Fitzpatrick - She's not who she says she is. And he will be her undoing.
New from Becca Fitzpatrick, Dangerous Lies centers around witness protection and an enigmatic guy called Chet Falconer. This is out next week in the UK!

The Menagerie - Animal Portraits to Colour: Illustrated by Claire Scully and Richard Merritt - Adult colouring books seem to be having a moment right now! This one contains a host of animal portraits on perforated pages which can be taken out and displayed once complete. 

Unforgiven by Lauren Kate -  Every love story has a dark side. 
Unforgiven, the fifth book in the Fallen series tells bad boy Cam's story. Just like bad boy Cole in Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver series, Cam was always my favourite in the Fallen books. What can I say? I guess I have a thing for bad boys. I am a fan of the Fallen books (although I never got around to reading the last book, Rapture) and I hope to check this out at some point. *Crosses fingers and hopes The Recaptains have recapped this series!*

Anna and the Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit - Releasing from Penguin Random House in January 2016, Anna and the Swallow Man is a WWII-set book said to be perfect for fans of The Book Thief.

From Netgalley




I read a glowing review of this one last week on Goodreads, which prompted me to go track this one down on Netgalley. It's still available for a little while, if you want to go grab it. It's got a creepy house and doppelgangers and sounds all sorts of scary! Read the synopsis: HERE.

****




Just a quick note to let readers of this blog know that I am once again participatingin NaNoWriMo this year and, after a week, I am WOEFULLY behind on my word count. I've decided to take a break from blogging for the rest of November in order to catch up!  There will be a new review from Arianne for you to enjoy next week, but apart from that, it will be quiet around here for the rest of the month!

Source : Received from publisher for review. Reviewed b y: Arianne.   Romeo and Juliet meets The Godfather in the second installment of Catherine Doyle's Blood for Blood series. Sophie's life has been turned upside-down, and she's determined to set things right. But Nic, the Falcone brother who represents everything she's trying to forget, won't give up on their love - and it's Luca's knife she clutches for comfort. Soon another mafia clan spoils the fragile peace - and with her heart drawn in one direction and her blood in another, Sophie's in deeper than ever. Vendetta – Catherine Doyle’s début novel - was a real statement: a full-throttle collision of first love, family ties and ferocious blood feuds, written with surprising skill and remarkable con...

Look Fantastic Beauty Box Review - October 2015.

The Look Fantastic Beauty Box is always a special treat and, in my opinion, one of the best Beauty Boxes around. The October box is a total winner (and might just be my favourite Look Fantastic Beauty Box to date!) featuring products from such brands as Elemis, Balance Me, Murad and Nuxe for you to try before you buy.  As an added bonus, this month's beauty treats are boxed in a special limited edition gold-accented design - so pretty it's almost a treat in itself! So, let's see what's inside the box, shall we?  Monu Firming Moisturiser - Travel Size 25ml.  What they say : This indulgent, moisture rich cream has been formulated to instantly soften and smooth the complexion, reducing the appearance of imperfections and fine lines.  What I think : I'm currently patch testing this one (I have to patch test EVERYTHING before I use it due to sensitive skin and nasty breakouts etc). So far no problems with this - although it is quite heavily scented with Neroli and Lavend...

© Polly Crossman Sunday Times Style columnist Dolly Alderton launched a newsletter this month. It's called The Dolly Mail, and it's a really good read. It just occurred to me that I don't really subscribe to any newsletters apart from this one, so I guess it's especially deserving of a mention in this monthly fave's round up. Sign up HERE and you too can receive this newsletter every Wednesday a.m. It's guaranteed to brighten up your day. Also, I picked up a great recipe for a Nut Roast in the third installment.  http://tinyletter.com/thedollymail ***** My favourite podcast is back! Yay! Also, Eeek! The first episode of the second series of The Black Tapes 'Sleepless in Seattle' is SERIOUSLY CREEPY!  Best listened to late at night with the lights off! http://theblacktapespodcast.com/ ***** Moving Panoramas Moving Panoramas. Stumbled upon this band from Austin, Texas a few months back. Cannot stop listening. Their music isn't available on Spotify (at...
