Ignore all the suggestions about reading this when your child is a toddler, or a pre-teen! Read it before you even plan on having a baby - perhaps before you even consider getting married! For those of you who have already dipped your toes into the choppy waters of teenage-hood, I hand you a virtual … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Confessions of a Bad Mother – The Teenage Years by Stephanie Calman

BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Worst Case Scenario by Helen Fitzgerald
This one shocks from the very beginning. It's not for the faint-hearted, so if you're not up for graphic language, descriptions of sex, and the many methods that can be used to achieve all sorts of pleasure without necessarily needing the assistance of a human partner, I'd suggest you walk swiftly past. HOWEVER ... if … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Worst Case Scenario by Helen Fitzgerald
BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Suspects by Katharine Johnson
The Suspects has Emma as its unreliable narrator accompanied by four other equally unlikeable characters, with barely a redeemable feature among them: Stuart, Zak, Imogen and Xanthe. It's the late 80's in Bristol. Not a great time to be young and trying to gain a foothold in the big wide world. Nevertheless, these five individuals … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Suspects by Katharine Johnson
BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – The Pelican by M. Naidoo
Blurb: "Because life is about living..." Julia has never been one to surrender without a fight, but when she receives a devastating diagnosis, she has a decision to make. Even after thirty years, she can still see her mother slowly fading away with every dose of chemo, every round of radiation, and every lost shred … Continue reading BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – The Pelican by M. Naidoo
BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Beautiful Side of the Moon by Leye Adenle
This beautiful, unusual fairy tale is extremely different and came as a very pleasant surprise! Roald Dahl said that those who don't believe in magic will never find it. Osaterin is just a regular guy living in Lagos, and the idea of magic is not one that crosses his mind often, if ever. He works … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Beautiful Side of the Moon by Leye Adenle
I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella
I've always been a Sophie Kinsella fan. You can always rely on her for a light, amusing read with a main character who gets herself into a bit of a mess, but who manages to come right in the end. I Owe You One doesn't really stray from that theme, but for some reason, I … Continue reading I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella
BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – Paper Dolls by Emma Pullar
I have to admit that a few chapters in, I was ready to put this one aside. It's extremely gory, graphic and gruesome and spares no punches! But I just couldn't let it go. I didn't guess who the killer was until there was just 3% of the book left!!! Thinking back, the clues are … Continue reading BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – Paper Dolls by Emma Pullar
BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Bloody hell!!! Wow!! Amazing!! Brilliant!! OMG!!! Gob-smackingly good!!! I read a lot of books, a lot of thrillers, and a LOT of psychological thrillers. You get a bit jaded, and a bit blasé about plotlines, twists that you think you see staring you in the face, and surprises that don't come as too much of … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Four of Us by Áine Toner
It's Day One of the Blog Tour for The Four of Us, and thanks to the wonderful invention that is 'Load Shedding' in Johannesburg, I wasn't able to post this earlier! But yay ... finally, we have electricity, so here we go ... As much as I say I don’t like girly books (see, I … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – The Four of Us by Áine Toner
BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Perfect Bones by AJ Waines (Dr. Samantha Willerby #3)
Ok, so ... this is the third in a series of which I hadn't read the previous two books. It's easily read as a standalone but I need to say off the bat that although this is the case, and the author does a good job of filling the reader in on the backstory, this … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Perfect Bones by AJ Waines (Dr. Samantha Willerby #3)
