New Releases to Snuggle (under blankets or air-con)

It’s still rather cool here in Melbourne, but thankfully books don’t fuss with what’s happening outdoors (unless you get caught in a rain shower with said book… then they cry with you!).

The Power of United Women

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you’ll know there’s plenty of oestrogen in my home with six ladies under one roof. And I love every moment.

Moreish Authors

There are moments in my life when I *need* to curl up on my bed and dive into a story written by an author I have grown to love and trust. A journey which will be fresh, yet ‘reliable’ for my reader heart, in the sense I know I’ll come away smiling (or snorting/giggling/gasping/swooning) and […]
