Posted on April 1, 2018 by

This week’s learning point, readers, was to stick to my high standards. Just in case you were wondering, I’ve never had a problem with putting books down if I’m not enjoying them. I’m actually amazed that there are people who … Continue reading →

Well, this week was another gorgeous reading week. I went straight from Sea and Sand to another new release, The Reprisal, by Kelly St Clare. This is the finale in her The After trilogy, and I’ve been waiting impatiently since … Continue reading →

Loving the end of the world

Posted on January 14, 2018 by

This week I have got firmly back into my groove of reading (I always think I’ll have loads of time to write at holiday time, but somehow, it’s much easier when I’m back in a routine of work/school). I was … Continue reading →

Breaking my Audiobook duck!

Posted on December 17, 2017 by

Another first for me this week, as I finished “reading” my very first audiobook. It has been a fascinating experiment and insight into my psyche! I wouldn’t ordinarily pick to consume a book via audio, but this was offered to … Continue reading →

November means nano

Posted on November 12, 2017 by

Another tricky week, this week, readers. The Shattered Worlds Read Along finishes today with Miranda Hardy’s Death Knocks, except that I’d already read that, having got myself a bit out of order (it’s fabulous, btw). So there wasn’t a book … Continue reading →

Shattered Worlds Challenge: Curse Breaker

Posted on October 2, 2017 by

My blog is late this week, because I only finished Curse Breaker last night (not a slow reader, I’ve been taken up with lots of non-fiction reading this week, all about marketing, social media and advertising, yawn). Curse Breaker is … Continue reading →

I’m on a roll, readers. This week I read and reviewed Slayer by JA Armitage and JA Culican with time to spare. When a trainee dragon-slayer and a dragon shifter come face to face there are bound to be sparks. … Continue reading →

Z is for … Zoikes, fetch an editor!

Posted on July 16, 2017 by

I have reached the end of my Alphabet Challenge! Whoop whoop, crack out the champagne! I’d love to be able to gush over my final, Z book, but that’s unfortunately not possible. There were very slim pickings for the final … Continue reading →

X is for … eXcessive fashion reports

Posted on June 25, 2017 by

I always knew filling the X slot in my alphabet reading challenge might be difficult, so when I spotted a book titled Xoe early in the year I grabbed it. Due to my lack of choice I wasn’t especially hopeful. … Continue reading →

T is for … truly spell-binding!

Posted on May 28, 2017 by

There was a bit of a wobble this week, reader, I’ll confess. I had a “T” book that was recommended by a friend whose books I love. Sadly, the book wasn’t half as good as her own and simply wasn’t … Continue reading →
