I drew this from an image in a book When I was a little girl, I sat on my grandfather’s knee He told me stories of how things used to be. When he was a teenager, there were no phones. Instead, there was just one in the family home. Can you imagine going out unable… Continue reading My Grandad Said, a Story in Poetry

Karen’s Chat on a Buying Expensive Books
I’ve been reading the Cormoran Strike books by Robert Galbraith. Having watched and enjoyed the Tv series staring Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, I wanted more. For Christmas in 2022, I was bought the paperback of the first book, The Cuckoo Calling. At over 500 pages it was too difficult to hold. The Kindle copy was £4.10,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on a Buying Expensive Books
My Review of Broken by Ellen Read
I receive Ellen Read’s newsletter and when she offered ARCs of her new release, I immediately asked for one. I love getting an advanced copy of a book, although unfortunately I missed the release date. Usually I have the review up to coincide with the day. Short stories have always been my favourite. This is… Continue reading My Review of Broken by Ellen Read
My Review of Captured by V. K. Ludwig
I found this on Amazon whilst looking for an alien invasion story. I thought it looked interesting. Alien ships land on earth and take people into their spacecrafts. Having a lack of their own females they need women of childbearing age to give them sons so they can continue their legacy. Garrison Earth is established… Continue reading My Review of Captured by V. K. Ludwig
My Review of The Breakdown by B. A. Paris
I renewed my audible membership recently because they offered me a good deal. I wanted to read a particular book that wasn’t in kindle unlimited. It enabled me to download it for 99p, but then I didn’t like it, lol. Already in my library was The Breakdown. I’d read one of B. A. Paris's books… Continue reading My Review of The Breakdown by B. A. Paris
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
I saw this in the Norns Triad Book Group and I was able to chat with the author. She said Summer Season at Sandy Coves is the first book of a trilogy, and books two and three are coming out shortly. This is a fun read and told mainly through the viewpoint of Julia, who… Continue reading My Review – Summer Season at Sandy Coves by Michele E. Northwood
