Every one of us should have someone we can call to help bury a body (figuratively, you understand). Bella, Chrissy, Sky, Electra and Jen are a rather unlikely group of friends, but they have each other. They've stayed together despite not having very much in common: entirely different personalities, living and financial conditions and parenting... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Argument by Victoria Jenkins
When you read the blurb of this book, you'll be inclined to think that it's your typical story about family angst gone wrong. Well, it certainly starts out like that. Hannah seems to be a rather over-protective mother when it comes to her teenage daughter Olivia. She feels that she's lost all control over her... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Hanukkah at the Great Greenwich Ice Creamery by Sharon Ibbotson
I don't buy into any of that 'don't judge a book by its cover' nonsense. Who wouldn't be lured by the gorgeous cover of this book?! It hints at all the tantalising delights hidden inside! Cohen Ford has come to London to lick his wounds. He's upset at the death of his father, but more... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Lies We Hide by S.E. Lynes
Susie Lynes, what a beautiful book you've written! I know, I know ... it seems like the strangest thing to say, considering the subject matter, but you've created such a moving story with incredibly real characters who really reach out and grab hold of the hearts of your readers. Everything changes for Carol and her... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – Out With The Ex, In With The New by Sophie Ranald
I loved this book and read it really quickly. Apparently it's part of a series that's loosely based around a coffee shop called The Daily Grind in the trendy London suburb of Hackney. And here we find Gemma Grey who's just moved into a house-share nearby. Her life's not quite turning out to be what... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – The Pact by Amy Heydenrych
I am so incredibly excited to be on this blog tour for a South African author who I'm so immensely fond of, and I'm thrilled that this is now her second international release!! I couldn't put this book down - I found it absolutely riveting! It's topical, relevant and something that so many women in... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – What She Saw Last Night by Mason Cross
I couldn't put this one down! It grips you from the very beginning and doesn't let up! Jenny Bowen makes it onto the Caledonian Sleeper Train by the skin of her teeth, rushing onto the train, lucky that the doors are the old fashioned manual type that don't close electrically, but are manually operated! Although... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Beginning And End Of Us by Rose James
This one's quite a different sort of book. I'd typify it as a 'what if' sort of tale about the 'life' of Aphrodite, who's appointed as the Keeper of Love, and sent out into the world ... this, after she thought she had already found her true love: her best friend, who she was then... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – Dreams of Willow House by Susanne O’Leary
As I'm sure you all know by now if you follow this blog regularly, I do love an Irish read! And this is no different. It's the third in Susanne O'Leary's Willow House series, and for some reason I've only read the second book prior to this - Sisters of Willow House. The first book... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – The Bowery Slugger by Leopold Borstinski
This is the first of Borstinski's books that I've read, and I must tell you ... he's a fine storyteller! I would go so far as to say that there's something a little reminiscent of Jeffrey Archer in the way he weaves a tale! The Bowery Slugger is the first in a new series about... Continue Reading →
