It's the first day of the blog tour for Say Goodbye, which is being published by Headline on 5 August. So ... I started reading this and was a few chapters in and floundering a bit. I loved the premise - I don't know what it is about cults, but there's just something about them... Continue Reading →
Yay! It's Day 1 on the blog tour for Secrets of the Mummy Concierge by Tiffany Norris! It sounds like a dream job doesn't it? Swanning around with the rich and famous, who get whatever they want because money's no object. Well, oh my goodness, as much as the idea might be be very nice... Continue Reading →
For me, Anna McPartlin is an APA - an Automatic Purchase Author! Anyone who knows me well will tell you that The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes (2014) is one of my all-time favourite books. Ever since reading that, I've been completely hooked on Anna's books! So, as soon as I heard about a blog... Continue Reading →
I've always said that Amanda Prowse has the uncanny ability to create characters that are so real that you feel like they're the kind of women you know. They're the women you're familiar with from seeing them pushing a trolley around your local grocery store, or at school pick-up or drop-off times. They're the ones... Continue Reading →

When you attend a book festival, it's as if you've entered a type of bubble where only the events and people within it are of any... Continue Reading →
Wow! This book starts explosively from the very first chapter. Sisters Lotta and Malin, together with their husbands, return from some time away to collect their children who have been staying with their grandparents Agneta and Stellan Broman. They don't stay long, and are soon bundling their children into their respective cars with all the... Continue Reading →
Jenny is in a bit of a rut, but oh my word, she is the most self-absorbed, miserable, judgemental so-and-so I've ever come across. I think that if I'd come face to face with her in the beginning of this book, I'd probably have wanted to slap her, or shake her very hard!! Yes, it's... Continue Reading →
From the very first page, it's like being back with an old friend. The familiarity that one feels reading another Alex Cohen book, the next in the series, settles on you like a warm, comforting blanket on a chilly evening! Alex and his crew however are a whole different story! I wouldn't get too comfortable... Continue Reading →
If only we all had a fearless team of feisty old biddies to cheer us on and to have our best interests at heart, then I think we'd all be doing just fine! Lucky for Tessa Archer, she's 'adopted' by the elderly Winnie while on a weekend away in Cornwall, but that's only the start... Continue Reading →
