3 stars and above, please

February 15, 2017January 21, 20171 Comment

Welcome to guest blog number 2, this time coming from my wonderful friend Kelly - This Northern Gal (her details are at the bottom of this blog post!). I’m not a very good book-worm, or book-blogger for that matter. I think Shakespeare is kind of over rated, and way too overvalued in English schooling. I … Continue reading 3 stars and above, please

Picture the scene... sitting by an open fire, drinking hot chocolate, some soothing music playing in the background and a festive favourite in your hand... how idyllic. Imagine something like this... (thanks Pinterest!) I can't provide you with this scene... but I can provide you with a book to read as you IMAGINE that is … Continue reading BOOKMAS: 12 Days of Christmas

A Quiet Kind of Thunder: incredible, funny, heartwarming, charming. I fell for this book wholeheartedly. (released 12.1.17) "Steffi doesn't talk, but she has so much to say. Rhys can't hear, but he can listen. Their love isn't a lightning strike, it's the rumbling roll of thunder. Steffi has been a selective mute for most of … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Sara Barnard

BOOKBLOG: Nightmare Before Christmas

November 7, 2016October 26, 20162 Comments

Having just recently (as in in the past few months or so) seen The Nightmare Before Christmas, I have been in a very Jack place! He's adorable, and scary, and cute and just I adore him.  When my publicist friend Sarah (who's absolutely amazing FYI) sent round a press release for The Nightmare Before Christmas … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Nightmare Before Christmas

BOOKBLOG: Michael Carey #2

A few weeks ago I blogged about Michael Carey's other book The Girl With All The Gifts (BOOKBLOG: Michael Carey) and then proceeded to go to Waterstones to buy Fellside. And I do not regret it one iota.  "Fellside is a maximum security prison on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. It's not the kind … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Michael Carey #2

BOOKBLOG: David Levithan

September 5, 2016August 29, 20161 Comment

I think I discovered David Levithan by accident and I am so glad I did.  I thank Amazon for recommending one of his books to me and for the love affair that I have since been living with David Levithan and his books. They're all amazing. And you should read them all. His books are … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: David Levithan
