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. Family, love, loss, children. The future. Partnerships/marriage. (Perhaps our world would be a rather better place if men concerned…
Tigerboy and his toys.
Tigerboy is just over a year old, and he’s getting into playing with things. By that I mean playing with things roughly as they’re designed to be played with 😉 Over the last few days I’ve enjoyed watching him exploring. He likes hitting things, so the Plan Toys Melody Xylophone we were sent to review…
Seaside stickers for a sunny day.
We are part of the Baker Ross blogging network and these fabulous seaside stickers were in our latest craft box. They’re new to the range and I think they’re wonderful. The children had a lovely afternoon making pictures with them.
Read52 – Shadows, Skin and Happiness.
It’s been a good week for books this week, though not brilliant for reading. I won a fantastic competition with Two Roads Books for a copy of every one of their books this year. The first package arrived this week, and had me sobbing just reading the cover flap of one of the books. More…
Cherishing changes.
I sat down to write a post called “you never know it’s the last time”. And then discovered I’d already written it. So I’d better write something a little different 😉 Tigerboy hasn’t weaned yet. What he has stopped doing is feeding in the day. He doesn’t seem to want my milk any more –…
It's a mystery.
I enjoyed myself a little while ago posting teaser photos of a review product on my Facebook stream. So here you go, can you tell what it is?
Discovery Pass giveaway with the Forestry Commission and #weloveforests
I’m very lucky to be working with the Forestry Commission as an ambassador at the moment, and I’m looking forward to getting back to our local forest, now that spring has sprung (she remarks quietly so as not to scare it off) *and* we’ve got a working car. (Knocking frantically on wood, and not really…
The 5th Wave – Rick Yancey.
Review of new YA alien invasion the 5th Wave The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey. After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust…
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…
