Happy New Year Everyone! So I said I wouldn’t be back until the 4th but I’ve been reading some cracking books and I have been planning and organising myself and my blog for next year. I thought I would get the ball rolling early as they say. I seem to really get into blogging more at the beginning when work is less busy, so why wait. This post is merely to say Goodbye 2015, where has the year gone and Hello 2016! It’s for me to share what my most anticipated reads are as well as things to come in […]

I have met some more  awesome bloggers and continue to be in touch with some of my closest friends. I’m even lucky to have so much in common with some of my […]

As you probably all know by now I am very lucky to have been a part of Holly’s books by being quoted in them for the praise of her novel, recently Am I […]
