Do you read much Non-Fiction? ~~~~ It's a genre I enjoy, especially if it's true crime or related to the Holocaust, but I find it usually takes a backseat to my fiction books. I am trying to read one Non-Fiction book each month, or every other month, and have read 3 so far and am part way through another, so I'm averaging every other month. ~~~ With the #tenonmytbr hashtag going strong I decided to create #tenonmynonfiction and have tagged some others who I thought might want to join in. I admit I struggled to find ten I've not read so this can include ones you have. ~~~ Are any of these on your tbr list or have read any? . . #bookstack #nonfiction #truecrime #bookstagram #instabook #booklove #ilovebooks #bookaddict #bookworm #booknerd #bookshelf #booklife #bookblog #bookblogger #reader #instaread #readinglife #readerforever

‘Evvie Drake Starts Over’ by Linda Holmes ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 *full review on blog "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨, 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪." When I started this book I felt like I needed something lighter and a bit different. I couldn't have chosen more perfectly. Reminiscent of Eleanor Oliphant Is Just Fine, I fell in love with this quirky, warm, lighthearted and witty book and it's delightful protagonist. This is one of those books you find yourself reading with a smile on your face. Eveleth "Evvie" Drake had been with her husband Tim for exactly half of her life on the day he died. That day she was also leaving him. But nobody knows, not even her best friend Andy, so when she's unable to leave her house months later, everyone assumes she's heartbroken at the loss of her 'perfect' husband. You see, Evvie has never told anyone the truth about Tim - that he controlled everything, that she lived in fear of his outbursts, that he blamed her for every mistake, and undermined and demoralised her daily. She's too ashamed to tell. Especially now he's gone. Evvie, oh wonderful Evvie. I love this character so much! She is sympathetic, relatable, timid, kind, quirky, amiable, lacks confidence and is stronger than she realises. She cares too much about what other people think and doesn't realise that others aren't judging her as harshly as she thinks. When former professional baseball player Dean Tenney moves into the apartment attached to Evvie’s house he is also going through a big upheaval after suddenly losing his ability to pitch. He's tried everything to find out why but is still clueless. I liked the parallel of Dean's baseball career with Evvie's marriage and the way they went from strangers to not just friends, but the only friend that can really understand what they're going through. I was rooting for them as a couple from the start. I hadn't seen any reviews for this novel or read anything by the author before so I was unprepared for how much I'd love this enchanting story. Evvie Drake Starts Over is a breath of fresh air on a warm day & the prefect summer read.

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: '𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲' 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *full review on blog Another nail-biting, chilling tale of domestic noir from the man that Jennifer Hillier has rightly crowned "The King of domestic horror". Elliot Foster and Gemma Robinson meet one summer afternoon. She saves his life after a near-fatal bee sting and they fall hard and fast, marrying just two months later in Vegas. Elliot couldn't be happier. When Gemma tells Elliot that her parents are moving back to the UK and asks if they can stay with them for a few weeks he agrees, wanting to make her happy and meet her family. It will be the biggest mistake he ever makes. This book is AMAZING! It started off slowly and while I was enjoying it, I didn't foresee just how horrifying, mind-blowing and simply incredible it would become. Though this being Mark Edwards I am also not surprised. Full disclosure: I am a huge fan of this author. Ever since I first read The Retreat last summer , which I loved the nod to in this novel, I haven't been able to get enough of his books. The Magpies trilogy is considered his greatest work, and it's antagonist, Lucy Newton, is one of the greatest villains I've read. But this story and it's villains give them both a run for their money. Do you think you've got the in-laws from hell? Well Elliot's are probably worse. I know I'd happily take my awful ex-mother-in-law over them any day! Jeff and Lizzy Robinson are two of the most despicable, repulsive, noxious, contemptible, foul and vile people I've ever had the displeasure of reading about. They turn Elliot's world upside down and inside out. They seem determined to not only take his home but destroy his entire life. It got me so angry reading how they behaved. I don't want to give any details away as the shocks add to the escalating horror and brilliance of this book. I highly recommend this edge-of-your-seat thriller; just be warned that it's a turbulent ride. And another thing...be careful who you invite to stay in your house. They just might never leave... Thank you to Mark Edwards, Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for the chance to read this novel. Out 1st Sept
