Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Beneath The Skin by Caroline England! I'm really excited because the buzz surrounding this book is huge! What They Say: Presenting a stunning debut psychological thriller about a life-changing lie.  Caroline England’s, Beneath The Skin is a tense and compelling read, exploring truth, friendships and betrayal .  No-one remembers your past. But you do.  ‘Antonia, Antonia. My name is Antonia.’  It’s been her name for many years. But sometimes, like tonight, she forgets. Antonia has a secret. A secret so dark and so deep that she can barely admit it to herself. Instead, she treats herself to Friday night sessions of self-harm while her husband David is at the pub, and her best friend Sophie is drinking too much wine a few doors down.  Nobody close to her knows the truth about what the teenage Antonia saw all those years ago. No-one, that is, except her mother. But Candy is in a car...

I am so, so excited to be bringing you my review of Sofa, So Good; Me Life Story by Scarlett Moffatt!! What They Say: Fact: Did you know, over its lifespan, your sofa will witness roughly 293 arguments and 1,369 cuddles? Hiya, my name's Scarlett Moffatt and I love random facts. Almost as much as I love sitting on me sofa. You might know me best from my most famous and celebrated sit thus far on the I'm A Celebrity throne. You might also know me from all sorts of other seats, most especially my Gogglebox sofa. Well this book is my attempt at telling me life story through a whole series of them! So I'd like you right now to stop what you're doing and take a seat, whether it be in the comfort of your own home, on the top deck of the bus, on the tube (so you don't have to make eye contact with anybody) or on the throne of the house (a.k.a. the toilet). I want you to get comfortable and get ready to laugh, cry and maybe even learn a bit, as I chat to y...

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Christmas at Conwenna Cove by Darcie Boleyn! I'm sorry I can't post the tour banner or gorgeous book cover, but I have been having technical issues all day! This book sounds brill! Here's the blurb: When Grace Phillips travels to Conwenna Cove to help her parents move there 30 years after their honeymoon in the village, she sees why they fell in love with the place. The festive decorations, carols in the air and constant supply of delicious mince pies certainly make it hard to leave. Grace soon meets local vet Oli Davenport and initially finds him rude, but learning about his passion for animals and how much he cares for his two kids helps Grace to see a softer side to Oli. It’s been two years since Oli lost his wife to cancer. Though he loves eleven-year-old Amy and five-year-old Tom more than anything it’s hard to be mum and dad. He has no interest in romance until he crosses paths with beautiful and kind-hearted Grace. ...
