BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Watchmaker of Dachau by Carly Schabowski
It truly fascinates me (if you read my reviews, you'll know I've said this before) that no matter how many Holocaust stories are written (many of them based on fact - yes, all of them find their basis in the facts of the Holocaust, but I mean that many are based on actual stories that...

BOOKS-ON-TOUR – Did My Love Life Shrink In the Wash by Kristen Bailey
Finally ... here's my rather belated post ... delayed with compliments of that delightful South African concept known as 'load-shedding', where our power goes off in scheduled blocks of 4.5 hours at a time (in Joburg - for some reason, other cities only get 2 hours at a time), which leads to various other technical...

Congratulations to Kate Sidley and Gail Schimmel on the publication of The Kensington Kidnap - first in a series of cosy mysteries featuring Epiphany (Pip) Bloom!

BOOKS-ON-TOUR – Trust Me by Sheryl Browne
I sometimes think it might be nice to live in a small little village, where everyone knows each other, and there's no hustle and bustle; where there's a sense of comfort and kinship; where everyone looks out for their neighbour.

BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Violinist of Auschwitz by Ellie Midwood
Congratulations to Ellie Midwood on publication day for The Violinist of Auschwitz, and Day 1 of the Blog Tour!

This book absolutely devastated and shattered me ... into about a million pieces. In fact at one point I couldn't even read it with my family around.
