LAURA ~ I haven’t started any new books this week, so I’m still reading ‘All I Want for Christmas Is A Vampire’ which is very much getting me in the mood for Christmas! And my on-going audiobook is ‘Hexed‘.
FAVOURITE BOOK READ
CAROLYN ~ My favourite book this week is the one I’m reading now, ‘Wolfsbane & Mistletoe‘ – there are some great stories in here.
