BLOG TOUR – The Last List of Mabel Beaumont by Laura Pearson
Blog touring today with this gem of a book! The Last List of Mabel Beaumont continued to surprise me with each page I read. Blurb: The list he left had just one item on it.

BLOG TOUR – This is Not About You: A Menmoir by Rosemary Mac Cabe
When I received a direct Twitter message from someone called Grace Pilkington, exactly one month ago saying that she'd love to invite me on a blog tour, I rolled my eyes.

BOOKS ON TOUR – The Locked Away Life by Drew Davies
Once in a while, a book comes along that's just completely different from anything else. It can't be classified into any genre, or have any sort of label slapped on it. But it makes the reader think, and smile, shed a tear or two, possibly spend some time reminiscing on their own life, trying to... Continue Reading →
