“We lose ourselves in books, we find ourselves there too."
Hello all, Yes me again! Sorry I’m kind of ambushing you recently with posts and reviews, I’m going through a rollercoaster of a time and books provide me with the perfect escape from real life. “We have nothing to lose and a world to see.” So this book isn’t a Challenge 2020 read! No, this …
Hello all, For my next and penultimate Challenge 2020 read is from Books from A Different Country – this one is set in Australia. “Oh Calamity.” Big Little Lies follows the journeys of three women, each at a crossroads in their lives. “Reading a novel was like returning to a once beloved holiday destination.” Madeline …
Hello all, Another Challenge 2020 review now, this time in the Young Adult (YA) book category; I chose the first book in The Mortal Instruments series for this category.

Hello all, That time again! Sorry folks, another review not from my Challenge 2020 (I promise, I am in the process of reading a book from there but it is a chonk and is going to take me a little while)! Luckily there are other shorter books that I can read and review in the …

Hello all, Happy first review of January 2021! I started this book on Boxing Day (26th December 2020) but couldn’t finish it in time for a December review so instead it’s pride of place as my first 2021 review.
