What a perfect way to describe the way Doris feels after her husband John (she calls him something else!) leaves her for her best friend Lisa (she too, is re-named!). Her entire world shifts on its axis and it's as if her view of life, in general, is blurred, hazy ... distorted. This state of... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – What Remains At The End by Alexandra Ford
Many of us tend to assume that we know quite a bit of history when it comes to World War II, its aftermath, and the facts surrounding what happened: who was on which side; who attacked who, when and why; how many died in The Holocaust, the labour camps, the gas chambers and the death...

BLOG TOUR – My One Month Marriage by Shari Low
Oh my word, I adored this book! Why have I never read anything by Shari Low before?! Four sisters: Zoe, Marina, Verity and Yvie ... all so different in every single way. Marina is the only one who's married and she makes helicopter moms look lazy and uninvolved! Zoe's the corporate, marketing wizz; Verity's a... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Killing Beauties by Pete Langman
A fascinating, although I must admit, rather dense read about female spies in the mid 1600's.
