G'day friends! Today, I bring to you a review for Heart of Stone by Ben Galley, as part of the epic TheWriteReads Blog Tour! I'm super excited to write this as I'm writing this slightly differently than usual... I'm going to write this review in increments, in that, each 100ish pages, I'll be writing my [...]
ROMANOV BY NADINE BRANDES G'day friends! So, I wasn't planning on writing this review (because I have so many other reviews that I urgently need to write *NetGalley screams at me in the distance*) but I just finished this book yesterday (as I'm writing this) and I kind of need to write my thoughts, because [...]
I love reading poetry. I think that's a fact that just about everyone who follows me knows by now. I especially love discovering poetry that I've never before seen or read, and in the case of today's review, this was the case. In the most broadest sense, Where I Ache by Megan O'Keefe is a [...]
Houdini vs. Rasputin by C. Michael Forsyth was an interesting and entertaining historical fiction read, one that was action-packed and filled with suspense. I would characterise it as a historical fiction adventure, set in Tsarist Russia between the years 1903-1911. It depicts a story between two powerful men: Harry Houdini and Rasputin in a 'hero' [...]
Worth the hype? EDIT: Bunked it down to a 2 star in the aftermath of speaking with a few people about this book, its problems and overall mediocrity. I am going to be completely honest with all of you, because this is a safe space, I wrote this review before knowing that the author enjoys [...]
Well, hello there. How are you? I know, it's been a while since I've done just a sit down and chat type of post. But here we are! And for those who celebrate, HAPPY EASTER! My easter was yesterday, so I've had two weeks of non-stop chocolate. Not that I'm complaining. Those Lindt Easter Eggs [...]
In his line of work sometimes people had to die. The Last Straw by Ed Duncan is the second book in his Pigeon-Blood Red series and follows multiple characters' throughout but centres on Rico and his history/present with Paul. I must admit that I didn't actually know that this novel was actually the second in [...]
Dr. Anne Brown speaks passionately about being your authentic self and learning to empower yourself through being able to say no. A few years ago, Dr. Anne Brown authored the book Backbone Power: The Science of Saying No, and she is now coming out with an abridged audiobook version for busy people on the go. [...]
This is what I have come to understand of our history, that thing buried and skewed under hidden agendas and untruths... YAY! Welcome to Day One of the Ultimate Blog Tour Extravaganza! I just want to thank, with all my heart, Dave at @The_WriteReads for organising this epic blog tour and for giving me the [...]
A sense of euphoria washed over me. For the first time in my life, I had made a split-second decision. I was going to do something that I hadn't scheduled or planned for at least six months in advance. I was going to Paris. Postcard from Paris by Holly Willow was the romance novel I [...]
