What I Say:

A new book from Alex Brown is always exciting! She has proven to be one of the most reliable authors around. Her books always bring a smile to my face and usually make me shed a little tear.

Alex creates the most wonderful settings and scenes within her books. The way she describes places draws you straight in and makes you feel like you're really there. In this book, I was whisked away to glorious Italy. The sun was shining, I could smell the citrus in the air and feel the warm breeze. It was heavenly.

Grace and Connie are both wonderful characters to follow. I really enjoyed how their stories unfolded and intertwined. It was exciting and moving at the same time. I related to Grace a lot. I've been through a lot of what she's been through, so watching her grow and develop was wonderful. She inspired me quite a lot. 

I loved the elegance and drama that emanated from Connie's diaries. I cried for her, I yearned to see the places she'd been and I am happy I found the kind of love she did. Her story will touch a lot of people. 

There's nothing I didn't love about A Postcard From Italy! It really was a stunning book! Grab a glass of Prosecco and get reading! You won't regret it! 10/10

2015: The year of working, laughing, loving and living

Well, here we are. A week and a half into the new year. Are you all sticking to your resolutions? I am, so far. I decided that I want to be more Sparkly. That to me, means happier, nicer, more kind and caring. It means feeling good about myself and my choices. It means feeling free to love and laugh. Over the years I have lost my giggle. That was one thing my Mum told me in a letter she wrote me before she died. Never stop giggling. And I'm sad to say I did stop. People have noticed, family and friends have commented on it. My fiancé has mentioned it more than once and it was starting to cause problems. I got quite depressed and struggled on a daily basis. Books were kind of a saving grace as was Twitter. But the real world and my REAL life were shut out. So, this year I have decided to change all of that. 2015 is my year of laughing, loving, travelling, working, smiling, playing and giggling. I will still read and review, but only the books I choose. No more blog tours unl...
