Happy Monday Readers! I hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend of reading and enjoying the sunshine (again!). Personally, I haven’t been able to get any reading in over the weekend as I’ve had other commitments tearing me away but, I’m back on the reading wagon as of today and looking forward to starting this week’s… More »

Happy Monday readers!   The sun is still shining (although the skies are definitely threatening to open) and I’m looking forward to another week of reading!   The title for week 20 of Readarama is Suzanne Rindell’s The Other Typist. This book follows Rose Baker – an orphaned young woman working as a typist in… More »

The sun hasn’t stopped shining once this week and I’m beginning to forget about that horrible wet and cold winter we went through – it’s hard to believe that snow was predicted only a month ago!

This week’s read, Billy and Me, was the perfect title to basque in the sunshine with. I have loved this title from beginning to end – which wasn’t that long…only two days were needed to finish the title and move onto some of the neglected titles in my to read list.

Billy And Me is about Sophie, a young woman from a small village who holds a dark secret from her past which led her to stay at home with her mum and work in a tea shop for eight years since most of her school year went off to university. One day, a film crew begins filming Pride & Prejudice in Sophie’s village and meets Mr Darcy who just happens to be teen heartthrob, Billy Buskin. Romance ensues but Sophie struggles to fit into his rich and famous world.

Happy Monday readers! The sun is still shining! I don’t know how the weather is where you are, but I hope it’s been shining over the weekend like it has where I am! The sunshine is only going to make reading this week’s title. Billy and Me, that little bit more pleasurable. Not that it… More »

Good morning readers!

I hope you’ve been out and about enjoying the sun as much as I have? Now that the unpredictable weather is over and sunshine has arrived, I’m finding it a lot easier to read through more books during the week – especially when I can sit out in the garden with a glass of wine to accompany me!

Hello Readers!   It’s Bank Holiday Monday and although the sun has been shining for the past few hours, it’s looking to take a turn for the worse as a black cloud is starting to move it’s way over the land…oh well, it’s Bank Holiday Monday, we should know by now that the weather is… More »

Hello readers!

I hope you’re enjoying the beginning of this long weekend? The sun is still shining and there are barbecues to be made and books to be read – which is why I’m not going to keep you here too long so I’m going to quickly write about this week’s title, Invisibility, before running back outside to enjoy my barbecue!

Invisibility…what can I say about this book other than drop everything that you’re doing right now, put some clothes on over the swimsuit that you’re (probably) wearing and run down to the shop and buy it. It’s a fantastic read that manages to be a young adult romance novel in its own unique way.

Hello Readers!   Today I’m writing to you from the local park where the sun is beating down – thankfully I have my copy of this week’s Readarama title to shelter my eyes from the sun. If you didn’t know already, this week’s Readarama title is Andrea Cremer & David Levithan’s young adult book, Invisibility…. More »

This week I’ve been on a trip to Oxford to visit Blackwell’s and managed to cram in some reading whilst the other half punted me around – which, you have to agree, is the best way to spend a mini break!

The Readarama title this week was James Oswald’s Natural Causes – the first in his Detective Inspector McLean Series. Set in Edinburgh, the book begins with the mutilation of a young girl which is believed to be a ritual offering. Long forgotten, the case becomes cold until Inspector McLean is haunted by the crime and digs deeper. At the same time, murders are happening all over the city and appear to be random, but McLean can’t help believing that they’re somehow related, he keeps looking until he uncovers an ancient, supernatural, evil.
