A Christmas Celebration by Heidi Swain

If there’s one thing you should know about me is that I love a festive book. There’s nothing quite like sitting down (at any time of year) and getting stuck into all of the goodness that festive reads bring. Which is why when I stumbled across the latest book by the Queen of Christmas –…

#BlogTour Keep it in the Family by John Marrs

A huge thanks to Thomas Mercer and FMcM Associates for asking me to be on the blog tour for John Marrs latest release. This tour is going to be slightly different for me because hands up, I’ve not finished the book. Since having a child (yes life update needed) it takes me longer than normal…

The Book A powerful and bittersweet story of an unexpected male friendship and an unlikely love story, a thought provoking storyline told with Mike’s distinctive…

Monthly Wrap Up – March 2021

March was a fairly busy month for me as it was the month Dan and I moved home! Let me just tell you packing, moving and unpacking is TOUGH! As I’m sure you can appreciate moving unfortunately led to more packing than reading, so it’s a fairly empty (and late) monthly update. Saying that I…
