Although this is the fourth in a series of books featuring DI Nathan Cody, having not read the first three books, I feel that this worked well as a standalone. Jackson gives enough background information for readers who haven't read previous books to know what's going on, so you don't feel left in the dark. … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Your Deepest Fear by David Jackson
Ignore all the suggestions about reading this when your child is a toddler, or a pre-teen! Read it before you even plan on having a baby - perhaps before you even consider getting married! For those of you who have already dipped your toes into the choppy waters of teenage-hood, I hand you a virtual … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Confessions of a Bad Mother – The Teenage Years by Stephanie Calman
This one shocks from the very beginning. It's not for the faint-hearted, so if you're not up for graphic language, descriptions of sex, and the many methods that can be used to achieve all sorts of pleasure without necessarily needing the assistance of a human partner, I'd suggest you walk swiftly past. HOWEVER ... if … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Worst Case Scenario by Helen Fitzgerald
Even if you're never planning on re-locating from your comfortable current abode - read this book! Just because it's so worth reading! And if you are considering a move, to a different country, continent, planet or wherever, then I would insist that this book is compulsory reading! You won't find a more honest, practical, down-to-earth, … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Bloom Where You’re Planted: Life the Ex-Pat Way by Lasairiona E McMaster

It's launch day for Cultivating a Fuji, and Day One of the blog tour! So it's very exciting to be one of the first people to be able to introduce this very different, but rather beautiful book to the world! So often, it's easy to treat people who are different as just that: different, other, … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Cultivating a Fuji by Miriam Drori
What a thrill, as well as an honour to be kicking off the blog tour today for Michael Connelly's latest book, Dark, Sacred Night! In this police procedural, Connelly teams up his well-known and familiar detective Harry Bosch, who's now left the police force, with his fairly new character, LAPD detective Renée Ballard. After a … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Dark Sacred Night by Michael Connelly
A beautiful story about 2 gentle souls who find each other in the midst of attempting to navigate the landscape of a country far from home, where everything seems strange. They instantly recognise in each other a familiarity and comfort, while at the same time realising that their relationship is one that will not meet … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – This Stolen Life by Jeevani Charika
The Suspects has Emma as its unreliable narrator accompanied by four other equally unlikeable characters, with barely a redeemable feature among them: Stuart, Zak, Imogen and Xanthe. It's the late 80's in Bristol. Not a great time to be young and trying to gain a foothold in the big wide world. Nevertheless, these five individuals … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Suspects by Katharine Johnson
Anyone who's ever been involved in planning a wedding, whether it's their own, or a friend or family member's, knows that the final product (everything and everyone looking beautiful, smiles all around, hugs and kisses etc. etc.) certainly doesn't tell the full story! Not by a long shot! Bridesmaids is the story of Rachel's journey … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Bridesmaids by Zara Stoneley
