Giveaway – Percy Jackson: The Blood of Olympus (Heroes of Olympus Book 5)
Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen – all of them – and they’re stronger than ever. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can…
John Scalzi's Lock In
I’ve read quite a bit of Scalzi’s work over the last year or so. Starting with Old Man’s War and the rest of the series. I loved it, particularly Zoe’s Tale. So when I found Unlocked, the prequel to Lock In free online, I devoured it. And couldn’t wait to get my hands on the…
Getting hands on with Montessori education
So, last week I took delivery of a very large box of Montessori materials from the lovely Anne-Marie from Child Led Chaos. And this week I started to get the resources out. The first one out of the box was the Trinomial Cube (amazon), for no other reason than both Big and I adore it.…
The last camping trip of the year – win with Equip+
Will take place next weekend, and sadly, I won’t be on it. It’s Tudor Michaelmas at Kentwell Hall. Tim is going to chop wood. Big will be in the Still room, and Small will revise his role as a page. I decided that it was too late in the season to risk with the very…

Recently I was sent a rather adorable teddy bear and some Fairy washing stuff. It’s part of Fairy’s #PowerofSoft campaign. Time passes so quickly when they’re little. It feels like only yesterday when they were tiny newborns enjoying those super soft cuddles for hours on end and pretty soon they are starting to do all…
Who remembers Ghostbusters? And wants to win it?
Actually, you don’t need to remember it to win, it’s just a cool title. But if you do remember it, you’ll definitely want to get your hands on this anniversary copy, and if you don’t remember it, what a great place to start. (How can it be 30 years old? Now I feel old.) To…
Station Eleven. Survival is insufficient.
Buy at hive Buy at amazon Buy on Kindle An explosion of Georgia Flu sweeps across the globe, with a mortality rate of 99%. What happens next? I’ve read a lot of post apocalyptic dystopian fiction. It might even be my favourite subset of my favourite genre in fact. Most of it is action packed,…
Queen of the Tearling
Buy at hive Buy at Amazon Buy on Kindle I’ve been trying to work my way through my (embarrassing) backlog of books for review. I tend to neglect the netgalley ones because I can’t actually see them (or fall over them, or have them fall on me (and oh how I wish I was kidding))…
