Good morning and welcome to my weekly round up inspired by Novels and Nonfiction. The weather has been like spring this week so I thought I change the photo from the roaring fire to something more sunny and outdoors. It’s not quite warm enough to sit outside and read but it’s nice to dream! 😉 So grab yourself a cosy spot, and have a browse at all the lovely links I have for you this week.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely Sunday 😀
Thank you for including me! It’s an honor and an encouragement ❤️
You’re very welcome! 😊
Thank you for featuring me 💗
You’re very welcome 😊
I do love the new picture!! Off to check out the links I’ve missed ☺️ X
Thanks hope you find something you enjoy reading x
I really have so many I’ve missed, that’s why I love this post you do!! Xx
😀
Not once but twice! Actual life goals right there! (Well blogger goals anyway 😉) This softens the blow of waking up on the wrong side of 35 immensely 😁 Thanks Nicki!
You’re very welcome 😀
Thanks so much for including me again Nicki. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome 🙂
Thanks for featuring my reviews, different but both wonderfully atmospheric books! I love the links you find around the web, I particularly like the ‘Don’t Send Your Marie Kondo’ed Clutter to Africa’ post – you’d think it’s common sense not to send broken or out-dated stuff but apparently not! I also like the idea of shifting from ‘declutter’ to ‘never clutter’ although it’s much easier said than done! I’ve bookmarked this post to read the rest of the articles later. Great post, Nicki.
You’re very welcome. I’m so glad you enjoy my weekly roundups 😊
Thanks for including my review! ❤ I'll be looking forward browsing these post.
You’re welcome. I hope you find something interesting to read 😀
Have a wonderful Sunday Nicki!💜

You’re welcome 🙂
Always love this post, even when one of my reviews isn’t featured😍
That Guardian article about lying authors is really interesting. I wonder where Mallory/Finn goes next.
Thanks so glad you enjoy it. Yes that article was fascinating especially about the trolling that was going on!!
Thanks for including my A Boy and his Dog review. 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Thanks for including my post! I had to check out your link to the article on giving ‘Obligation Chocolate’ in Japan for Valentine’s Day? What is that craziness? That would be sooo expensive and totally unnecessary! Thank Goodness they are pushing back!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad the Japanese women have said no as well!
Thank you lovely!
You’re welcome 😀
