Why (have I chosen to read it)?

I loved Jem Tugwell’s previous two crime fiction novels, indeed gave them both a 5* rating (see links in the Author Bio above) .  Whilst these two previous books were set in the near future, this new book is a psychological thriller – which is a genre I read a lot of and enjoy (see my Thrillers and Crime book review page) .  So when the lovely people at Serpentine Books offered me the opportunity to read this new book I, obviously, leapt at the chance. 

While (I  am reading it) 

This week I’ve walked up the sides of the local pistes for the first time this season.  “Touring” is a very popular sport here, where people walk up the mountain with (synthetic) skins on the bottoms, of their skis, and then ski back down.  I, however, walk up wearing crampons and get the ski lift down.  I’m usually listening to an audiobook whilst I’m walking up, and love the stunning views and the peace of the surroundings.   It is also good exercise, which I love in retrospect, but at the time it can be hard going!   Here’s a picture from my walk this week. 

If you would like to tell me What you are reading, Why you are reading that book, and what you’re doing While you’re reading it, then let me know via   the Guest Blog Page on EmmabBooks.com   and maybe I’ll blog about it. 

All the best, Emma
