For me, Anna McPartlin is an APA - an Automatic Purchase Author! Anyone who knows me well will tell you that The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes (2014) is one of my all-time favourite books. Ever since reading that, I've been completely hooked on Anna's books! So, as soon as I heard about a blog... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Mrs Narwhal’s Diary by S.J. Norbury
When I started this book, I was a tad confused. It seemed to instantly run away with me. I couldn't seem to fathom what on earth was going on, who all the characters were and why there seemed to be so many of them (there weren't as many as I imagined), and why I just... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Friends and Neighbours by Ruth Torjussen
Jenny is in a bit of a rut, but oh my word, she is the most self-absorbed, miserable, judgemental so-and-so I've ever come across. I think that if I'd come face to face with her in the beginning of this book, I'd probably have wanted to slap her, or shake her very hard!! Yes, it's... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Coastal Cahoots Club by Victoria Johns
If only we all had a fearless team of feisty old biddies to cheer us on and to have our best interests at heart, then I think we'd all be doing just fine! Lucky for Tessa Archer, she's 'adopted' by the elderly Winnie while on a weekend away in Cornwall, but that's only the start... Continue Reading →

BLOG TOUR – The Secret Letters by Taryn Leigh
Before starting a review of the actual book, I feel that mention has to be made of the absolutely stunning cover! The gorgeous jacaranda trees depicted here are what give Pretoria, where the book is set, the name 'The Jacaranda City'. Although they're beautiful to look at when in bloom, locals have been known to... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – The Saturday Morning Park Run by Jules Wake
This book is such a refreshing delight!

It will give you a... Continue Reading →
