Does anyone do this any more? Think about it. How often do you stare into space and let your thoughts drift? My guess, for the majority of people, the answer will be rarely. I also surmise it’s not something you’ve given any thought. The reason why people don’t indulge in this kind of mindfulness any… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Day Dreaming

Brief Description - short stories that pack a punch! I really enjoy reading books from this author and what a great catalogue she has! This time I thought I’d give her collection a go.

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 of The Day the Earth Turned – Winter by Chantelle Atkins
This is the third book in the series and I had the honour of reading an advanced reader copy. Reuben, Gus, and Chess are all in big trouble in this instalment. If you ever think a Young Adult novel is light reading, you couldn’t be more wrong. I found the story to be dark and… Continue reading My Review of The Day the Earth Turned – Winter by Chantelle Atkins

Book Review of The Day the Earth Turned, (Summer) by Chantelle Atkins
Where did I find it: having read this author before, and it was a post apocalyptic story, I jumped at the chance to have an advanced copy. What I liked: the whole concept for this genre. It was different. Having children in charge changed things as they see life differently. In places the story is… Continue reading Book Review of The Day the Earth Turned, (Summer) by Chantelle Atkins
Release Day that went wrong…
One day I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when an author I’d seen around, but never read, was going live. I clicked to see what it was about. She was in the process of waiting for another author to connect with her. They were Chantelle Atkins and Sim Alec Sanford. The latter, I hadn’t… Continue reading Release Day that went wrong…
Book Review – Project Pandora by Chantelle Atkins and Sim Alec Sansford
Where did I find it: it’s the second book of the Fortunes’s Well series. That’s the name of the town the book is set in. What I liked: that the two main characters had mysterious powers that would help them fight the bad guys. The fact we didn’t know who they were was terrifying for… Continue reading Book Review – Project Pandora by Chantelle Atkins and Sim Alec Sansford
