Well here we are in July, can you believe it? At last summer seems to have arrived😎 I’m just wondering how long it will last. Before I share my book of the month I thought I would give you an update on my lack of posts lately. Earlier this year I got admitted to hospital, and to cut along story short it made me realise I needed to slow down, so for the next few months I will be posting as and when. I have no schedule, well apart from one cover reveal and a blog tour I’m really excited about (my lips are sealed for now 🤐).
You may have noticed I’ve updated my blog photo, do you like it?or hate it? feel free to leave a comment I won’t be offended honesty! I wanted something that instantly shows that I mostly read and review crime thrillers. I’m still in two minds about the cover but it will do for now anyway.
And now the real reason for my post it’s time to choose my book of the month for June. How do I choose my book of the month? I go for a book that I find particularly outstanding, a book that covers every aspect of what I look for in a read, an original plot, great characters and a storyline that draws me in from the first page and keeps me in its grips until I reach the very last page. So without further ado here’s my book of the month for June and it’s a cracker……..
The Whisper Man by Alex North
With a synopsis that grabbed my attention and a promise from the publishers ‘GET READY FOR THE BIGGEST THRILLER OF 2019’ there was no way on earth I was going to miss reading The Whisper Man by Alex North. There is nothing more terrifying than a child being murdered, and the author expertly plays on these fears, creating a dark, creepy, and haunting read. Be prepared for a few sleepless nights, it takes a lot to unnerve me, but this book actually scared me silly in parts! (In the best possible way). Oh, and a word of warning make sure your bedroom doors are closed at night or beware ** If you leave a door half-open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken** You can read my full review here…..The Whisper Man by Alex North @writer_north @MichaelJBooks #BookReview #TheWhisperMan #MustReads #BookHangoverAward

Sorry to hear about the hospital but hope you enjoy easing off the pedal a little. Started laughing when I saw Someone is Lying, it seems to be following me around this year, have to have to get to it! Take care Lorraine, great post X

That would most definitely be my book of June as well, although Black Summer came very, VERY close!
Keep taking excellent care of yourself, Lorraine! ❤️

Sorry to hear about the medical problem. It sometimes takes a trauma to give us that wake up call that we need to slow down, that we are not (however much we pretend) machines but humans.
I like the direction you are going in with your header – can I suggest you make it a little more obvious that it’s crime. The red blobs could be a paint splatter not blood. So maybe add an element like a knife, gun, rope or maybe even better one of those crime scene tapes…

It’s still a work in progress but thanks for your comments, I may add one of these elements x
