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.
May 3, 2013 By 4 Comments
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. Family, love, loss, children. The future. Partnerships/marriage. (Perhaps our world would be a rather better place if men concerned [...]

We’ve had a couple of lovely picture books sent for review in the last week or two, and we’ve very much enjoyed them. Big by Tim Hopgood arrived first. It’s the first story book that Tigerboy has responded to. He loves board books, particularly if they’ve got mirrors in them, but picture books have largely [...]

And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th [...]
Sealed with a Kiss by Rachael Lucas: review.
March 27, 2013 By 3 Comments
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 [...]
