  • The Wartime Affair by Victoria Cornwall

    The Wartime Affair by Victoria Cornwall

    Set against the final days of war, this story balances tension and tenderness beautifully. The atmosphere of mistrust feels real, the emotional journey is compelling, and the romance grows with believable fragility. I was completely immersed. #VictoriaCornwall #TheWartimeAffair #LoveInWar #ChocLit #JoffeBooks #ZooloosBookTours #NetGalley 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✒️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

  • The Summer Everything Changed by Sian O’Gorman

    The Summer Everything Changed by Sian O’Gorman

    A heartfelt, uplifting story about love, forgiveness and second chances set against the warmth of Sandycove. This was my second Sian O’Gorman novel — and once I began, I simply couldn’t put it down. Expect emotion, hope, and a strong recommendation to have tea and biscuits ready. #SianOGorman #TheSummerEverythingChanged #BoldwoodBooks #NetGalley 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✒️ #5stars #bestread2026 (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

  • Six Weeks In January by Alan Pearson

    Six Weeks In January by Alan Pearson

    eading Six Weeks in January felt like being invited into someone else’s subconscious — not as an observer, but as a quiet companion. This memoir of a Covid-induced coma is unsettling, intimate, and deeply human, lingering long after the final page. #AlanPearson #SixWeeksInJanuary #ZooloosBookTours 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✒️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

  • The Exodus Directive by Ian Copeland

    The Exodus Directive by Ian Copeland

    The Exodus Directive is a brilliantly written techno-thriller that unsettled me far more than I expected. What begins as controlled, plausible speculation slowly stops feeling like fiction at all — leaving behind a quiet, lingering unease about power, progress, and the systems we trust to shape our future. #IanCopeland #TheExodusDirective #SignalTheoryBooks #ZooloosBookTours 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✒️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

This is a raw, compassionate account of survival, humanity and the unseen battles many people carry. #BruisedSole #GraemeParker #RobertParker #TheHoofGP #TheHerd #NonFiction 👩🏻‍💻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BestRead2025 (MoMoBookDiary 2025)

  • Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards

    Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards

    The snowbound village setting, festive yet tense, drew me in completely, and the clever, playful mystery kept me second-guessing every character. Martin Edwards balances golden-age charm with sharp, fresh plotting, making this an atmospheric, absorbing read. Vivid characters, intricate clues, and just the right amount of mischief make this one of my favourite reads of the year. #MartinEdwards #MissWinterInTheLibraryWithAKnife #HeadofZeus 👩🏻‍💻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BestRead2025 (MoMoBookDiary 2025)
