My Review of Contact by Avery Blake and Johnny B. Truent

I recently reviewed the first book of the series, Invasion. It was so good I had to move on to this, the second book. The family from the first story have now reached their destination, a bunker hidden below the house. Meyer, the father, had built in case of an emergency, but none suspected that… Continue reading My Review of Contact by Avery Blake and Johnny B. Truent

My Review – Hide and Seek by Julia Blake

I’ve read the previous five books in the series and when this one came out on the 27th March, I bought it and read it before the end of the month. As I said above, if the book has Julia’s name on the front, you know you are in for a good read. Each book… Continue reading My Review – Hide and Seek by Julia Blake

My Review – Two Women Walk into a Bar by Cheryl Strayed

I can’t remember exactly where I picked up this from. With it being an Amazon original, it may have come in an email. But I’m more inclined to think I heard the author talking about it on the radio. It’s been a long time since I’ve read non-fiction. This memoir was interesting as the author… Continue reading My Review – Two Women Walk into a Bar by Cheryl Strayed

My Review – Invasion by Avery Blake and Johnny B. Truant

I found this book on Amazon as I searched for anything relating to an alien invasion. I tried several but didn’t like them. I’ve only found one other so far that I enjoyed. That was called The Landing by Kellee E. Green and was a two book series. This was a little hard to get… Continue reading My Review – Invasion by Avery Blake and Johnny B. Truant

My Review – Summer Season at Sandy Coves by Michele E. Northwood

My Review – Saving Sahara by Ravyn Wilde

I found this on Sahara’s Blog and being the same name and liking historical novels, I downloaded it. Well, it served me right for not reading the description properly. I only read part of it and as it sounded good and mentioned vampires, I was sold! Beautiful Sahara has an illness that is terminal. She… Continue reading My Review – Saving Sahara by Ravyn Wilde

My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins

I've reached the final instalment of the series and what a finale. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey into the end of the world where all the adults have died leaving the children in charge. I found the story to be moving, challenging, dark, and simply brilliant. The children from book one have grown… Continue reading My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins

My Review – Rhapsody in Black by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra

I featured this recently on my About a Book series and already had it on my to read list. So when the author thanked me and gifted me a copy, I was thrilled. It’s a cosy mystery with its background set in a ballet school. This immediately made it interesting and different. It’s the first… Continue reading My Review – Rhapsody in Black by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra

Karen’s Chat about Magic Pictures

I’m usually an ebook reader, but will sometimes read a paperback. This was the sometimes and the book is a hardback. I didn’t want to read it on my Kindle as it’s almost a 1000 long. Too big for a paperback, and being solid makes its sturdy to rest on my lap on top of… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Magic Pictures

I was recently asked by author Audrina Lane to take part in World Book Day at the Care Home she works at. I was a little nervous, but it turned out to be an enjoyable experience, especially when you have an attentive and interested audience. First Sight is the flash fiction I read to the… Continue reading Fun at World Book Day
