Read 52: Just Imagine with a What are They Thinking?! giveaway.

I don’t seem to have had time for any reading for myself this week. But we got a fabulous book through for Smallest to review, and it’s been a great one to spend lots of time talking to her about. It’s called Just Imagine and is illustrated by Nick Sharratt, who is one of our [...]

Read 52: The State We’re In by Adele Parks.

This week’s review is of The State We’re in by Adele Parks. What do I say about this book? Is it chick lit? Perhaps. It’s certainly about the things that women seem to concern themselves about.

Sealed with a Kiss by Rachael Lucas: review.

I follow a lot of authors on twitter. I really enjoy talking with them, and get quite a thrill each time someone famous responds to me, or even better, follows me back. They don’t behave like celebrities, I’m not sure why, but they are pretty normal people. Perhaps it’s because their relationship with us is [...]
