February Book Haul

 

It has been the longest time since I have done a book haul, i usually pick up the odd book here and there, a 99p amazon special or a netgalley review book but up until this month i have been trying to crack through some of my giant TBR (42 pages worth on kindle alone which is 252 books!)

That been said, that does now include my new reads. So i thought i would share what i have picked up - ill include a synopsis and where i got them from and the format.

The Honey Farm On The Hill - Jo Thomas || Review

 

We never forget the one who got away.

Eighteen years ago Nell fell in love in the mountains of Crete and life changed for ever. Nell's daughter, Demi, has never met her dad. Nell never saw him again.

Working on a honey farm perched high up in the hills, there's plenty to keep her busy. And she will quickly realise the town harbours just as many secrets as she does.

But if Nell's favourite romantic films are right, there's a happy ending in store for each of us. All she has to do is seek out the magic of the mountains...

Home can be the most dangerous place…
