Oh my word Sandy Taylor! What a gem of a book this is! Not only did I absolutely love it, but it made me yearn to get on a plane and head straight to Ireland for a long-overdue visit. If ever a book as evoked a feeling of such heartfelt longing to be somewhere then... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – His Wife’s Secret by Susan Willis
When I started reading this, I wasn't so sure I was going to be able to continue. I was doubtful about my ability to deal with two mature (?) adults - one of which had left his wife and teenage daughter - who constantly craved each other's bodies and behaved like sex-starved prisoners who'd been...

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 →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Perfect Sister by Sheryl Brown
I'm very late to the party with this one due to being struck down with flu last week and being literally flattened by it for almost 5 days. But ... I'm back ... and now catching up on those days that disappeared into the ether. Thank you to my lovely Bookouture people for understanding, and... 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. Clearly they existed, but seem to have been excluded in much of the literature that's been written about this time, which focuses about the shenanigans that the men got up to, chasing chambermaids and plotting behind each other's backs!...

BOOKS-ON-TOUR – Burning Island by Suzanne Goldring
Happy publication day Suzanne Goldring! Burning Island is the most beautiful, richly layered story of tragedy and pain, challenge and hope, told through a dual timeline that is smoothly interwoven against the lush backdrop of the island of Corfu. Corfu 1944 - the Jews who have, for many years, lived peacefully alongside their Greek neighbours,... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Fortunate Ones by Catherine Hokin
Happy publication day Catherine Hokin! Your deeply emotional WWII story only goes to prove how many unique stories there are to still be created about one of the bleakest eras of human history. Although this is a work of fiction, all of the literature based during these years finds its source in fact. Felix falls... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Annie Beaton’s Year of Positive Thinking by Mink Elliot
I'm thrilled to be here on the first day of the blog tour for this funny and uplifting book by Mink Elliot! Annie Beaton is turning 50 - it's a momentous day! She doesn't realise just how significant it's going to be, because by the end of it, she's been fired from her job and... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – No, We Can’t Be Friends by Sophie Ranald
I was initially a bit nervous about reading No, We Can't Be Friends, after I'd read and loved Out With the Ex, In With the New, which features many of the same characters. But I thoroughly enjoyed this one, perhaps even more! So no worries here. This story focused on Sloane, the very together boss-babe... Continue Reading →

Happy publication day to Beth Miller! It's really an honour to be touring with you today, on publication day for the wonderful book that is The Missing Letters of Mrs Bright. This book is an absolute delight! From the bright, eye-catching cover (I've told you before, I do judge books by their covers), to every... Continue Reading →
