After reading this I did wonder if the whole idea of artist colonies and the like are really so great after all. All that ego and hedonism in one place! Is there really anywhere large enough to handle it?! Tamar Hodes has based this partly autobiographical novel on Hydra in the 60's. It's a time … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Water and the Wine by Tamar Hodes

I don't understand a thing when it comes to AI (Artificial Intelligence). I know that 'they' claim it's the way of the future, but I stand my ground in maintaining that there will only be a handful of very clever individuals who will understand it, and know how to use it to the best of … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The After Wife by Cass Hunter

I can't recommend this book highly enough! If you've ever been part of a WhatsApp group (I.e. if you breathe!), email group, or anything similar with a group of friends, acquaintances or people who happen to just live in close proximity to you, then you'll totally relate to this book! Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss … Continue reading Book Review – Hey Ladies! By Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss
I adored this book! It has every element to keep you turning the pages in anticipating of what's to come. Buy it and then clear your diary - you won't want anything to interrupt your reading. In fact, it's the perfect holiday read. My only complaint was that I finished it too quickly! Thank you … Continue reading BLOG TOUR + Review – Ladies Day by Sarah Barton
I’m so thrilled and honoured to be here on the blog tour for this truly wonderful book!

Before the story even begins, it’s prefaced by an introduction from … Continue reading BLOG TOUR – WE OWN THE SKY by LUKE ALLNUTT
*** NEW *** NEW *** NEW *** From now on, in every book review, I will include the one single idea that stood out the most for me in that book. Every book has one. I’d love it if you shared yours with me from the same book. I loved this while I was reading … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – The Marriage Pact by Michelle Richmond
So disappointing! The plot sounded so promising, but ended up being boring and dragged out with characters who were so unlikeable I hardly cared what happened to them by the time I skimmed my way to the end. To use a phrase coined by someone I once knew: "one, two, skip a few ..." So … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – Did You See Melody by Sophie Hannah
Utterly riveting! I couldn’t put this one down. 15-year-old Ellie Mack disappears without a trace one day. She’s the centre of her mom Laurel’s world, and her family can’t believe that this beautiful, young ‘golden’ girl (as she’s described) would leave home of her own accord as the police would have them think. But there’s … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
