Merry Christmas Everyone! I'm off on holiday again - but where and what is on my kindle?

Let me start by wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

At the start of this year I was on a cruise to South America, ending in Miami, during the summer I went to Cyprus, and so to round off an epic year, I figured let's get to a 4th continent!!! I'm heading tomorrow to The Gambia to spend Christmas lazing by a pool in Africa, and I can't wait. 


The hotel from what I can see and have read sounds totally lush, and anyone that is my facebook friend will be hopefully in for a treat with photos from this holiday. 

I am basically wanting the sort of holiday where I do very very little all day, apart from sleep, read and swim - the sleeping being poolside naturally. 

Back in the summer I am not entirely sure how but I read a record for me 38 books over the two weeks in Cyprus, but I think given I know this hotel has entertainment - some daytime and evening, the odds of me repeating that feat are slim to nil, nor will I be actively aiming too. 

As has been tradition on my pre-holiday posts on my blog I'm about to show you what is currently on my review TBR - these are all books I've promised to review (my timing could be off on a large amount of them admittedly). 

For all of the books that I have had on this list since some point in 2023, if it's one of your books then I do apologise, I'm really sorry I haven't got to them yet. I do try my hardest but I regularly close my eyes and stab my kindle at random to see what book I am reading next - and is what I will probably do within various collections on it throughout the holiday. 

Well how on earth are you meant to pick between books from fabulous authors, when you have so many of them to read!

So here are the 80 books on my Netgalley shelf, arranged by publisher (just cos I always like to see which publishers I should probably play catch up with at this time of year)  -  but which ones do you recommend?  What are you looking forward to reading yourself?















What a selection and wow just how many Boldwood release do I have unread! I literally can't keep up with such an uber publishing machine of awesomeness! I thoroughly enjoyed making those graphics and if nothing else that is a great reminder for me as to what on earth I still have to look forward to reading and might be reading on this holiday. 

What are your thoughts on my Netgalley shelf? Any of your favourite authors?  With a mix of 2025 release and older books, what are you looking forward to reading? Any suggestions for which I should definitely read while away. I'd love to hear from you. 

Anyways my regular reviews will be back currently scheduled from 3rd January. 

However you are spending the Christmas and New Year- I hope you have time to read loads of books! 

Have a very Merry Christmas and see you all in hopefully a Happy 2025!

  1. Looking forward to reading the new one from Christie Barlow - I loved the Love Heart Lane series. I've also loved every Kathryn Freeman book I've ever read, which is most of them!

  2. If I were you I would start with the Paige Toon and Jessica Redland books - I absolutely adore these authors.
    And what I can recommend is the Jane Linfoot book. I‘ve read all her St. Aiden books and this one is just as good as the others
