August 2017 Link Love

Like my monthly favourites post I'm afraid August's link love post is late too, so late that it is now cold and raining and August feels like a distant memory. I  hope you like this month'slinks, there are a lot of book reccomendations, some great writing tips and quite a lot of autumn-themed randomness.

Reading

The Suspense is Thrilling Me: Emma in the Night - Chelsea joins with fellow book blogger Sam from Clues and Reviews to discuss this missing persons thriller.

Crime by the Book: The Devil's Wedding Ring - Scandinavian crime fiction combined with folklore? Sounds good to me.

The Book Satchel: See What I Have Done - I'm pretty sure I've featured See What I Have Done on a link love post before but I still haven't read it and I'm desperate to. And if Resh Susan from The Book Satchel says it's good then it must be good.

Mrs Red's Reviews: Don't Close Your Eyes - Sister mysteries seem to be all the rage at the moment. Don't Close Your Eyes sounds like a dark mystery exploring family dynamics.

Writing

Samantha House: World Building - There's a useful checklist in this post to follow when creating the world in your novel, which can be easily forgotten when focusing on characters.

Kate Mallinder: Playing the Long Game - I can get so impatient when writing, often trying to rush through the process or give up. The post reminds me to keep working, even if I feel I'm not getting anywhere.

Random

Artful Reader: Friday and Failing at Life - This post made me laugh. I can so empathise, Suss. I need to make a list of all my random, small but swamping jobs too.

Hush: Colourblock Jumper - One day I will save up my pennies and buy a Hush jumper, they always look amazing. I love the colours in this alpaca one (see first photo); I'd like to have a jumper with custard sleeves.

Marks & Spencer: Textured Jacket - Another autumnal fashion find, I'm obviously being influenced by the weather. This jacket doesn't look much in the photos but I saw it in the shop and it's lovely, the perfect throw on coatigan thing.
