This came in an email from Amazon with a few other books where I could choose one for free. I chose this because I like the author and I loved The Handmaid’s Tale. That means I didn’t read the description and so didn’t know what this story was about. It started with three women, friends,… Continue reading My Review – Cut and Thirst by Margaret Attwood
I saw this advertised on Facebook by Joffe Books. I fancied a crime story and it was in Kindle Unlimited, too. I also noticed it was a brand new book, released less than a month ago. Although this is the first book of what will be a series, it made several references to a previous… Continue reading My Review of Dig Two Graves by Helen H. Durrant
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
