Yes, I do sometimes take a break from dark, twisted psychological type books, and when I do, it's delightfully refreshing to discover a book like Sharon Dempsey's My Virtual Life! I can quite easily picture my own teenage daughter watching a film version of this while comparing with her BFF's who has the most embarrassing … Continue reading BLOG BLITZ REVIEW – My Virtual Life by Sharon Dempsey
A novel about food, whānau, and mental illness. Blurb: Valerie reads George Eliot to get to sleep – just to take her mind off worries over her patients, her children, their father and the next family dinner. Elena is so obsessed with health, traditional food, her pregnancy and her blog she doesn’t notice that her … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Fishing for Maui by Isa Pearl Ritchie
Are you ready to be transported back to the '90's ... those heady days of high school, teenage angst, best friends, bullies, teachers (and parents) who didn't have a clue, and your whole life ahead of you. The Spice Girls had taken over the world, and Girl Power well and truly ruled! Well, welcome to … Continue reading BOOK BLOG REVIEW – Friendship Never Ends by Ella Dyson

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

*** 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
I loved this fast-paced, breathtaking psychological thriller! This is one of those 'just one more chapter' books, and before you know it, it's 2:00 am! Marco and Anne are invited to their neighbours for dinner. Sounds non-threatening enough doesn't it? But Anne's not too sure. Manipulative Cynthia has made it quite clear that the baby … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
Utterly riveting! I couldn’t put this one down. 15-year-old Ellie Mack disappears without a trace one day.

But there’s … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
