One of the best unreliable narrator novels I have read in a while. Click by L. Smyth was just that bit different to everything else I have read so far this year. I love the crime/thriller/psychological drama genre (whatever it is called) - but it can get repetitive. Or more precisely if you read too... Continue Reading →
The island affair by Helena Halme #blogtour #providedforreview
I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it. It’s the type of contemporary romance/drama that I am enjoying far more these days than the light and fluffy reads. It had substance. The Island Affair by Helena Halme dealt with some tough themes of grief, loss, betrayal, martial affairs - but it wasn’t a sad story. It... Continue Reading →
Nine perfect strangers by Liane Moriarty #bookreview #Audible
I didn’t read Nine perfect strangers by Liane Moriarty, but I listened to the Audible audio-book version narrated by Caroline Lee. I love audio books. Love them. How did anyone ever get the motivation to clean the house before Audible? My kitchen is a nicer place thanks largely to my Audible subscription. At 19 hours... Continue Reading →

The silver moon storybook by Elaine Gunn – Illustrated by Megan MacPhie #Blogtour #providedforreview
I love the idea behind the collection of stories - 7 in total. A series of fairy tales about women who do not need to be rescued in the too often typical manner of a knight on a shining white horse. Pro-women fairy tales. The whole collection was good. And as an adult, I thought... Continue Reading →
In Everyday Life – How do you deal with all the daily distractions? #amreading #amwriting #amblogging
I want to be blogging… I would rather be writing… I could be reading… BUT When I get an afternoon or day alone with no other immediate commitments, I end up stuck in what often feels like an endless cycle of daily drudgery. Washing, cooking, laundry, changing beds, dusting, hovering, picking up mine and everyone’s... Continue Reading →
