Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for One In A Million by Lindsey Kelk! I am so excited to have a Q & A with Lindsey (my first one ever!!) and my review for this amazing book! I'm a bit of a mega fan of Ms Kelk so I felt weird doing a Q & A but I think I did ok. What do you think? Was I a complete knob? What They Say: Annie Higgins has given up on love: she's too busy trying to get her own business off the ground. Infuriated by the advertising agency across the hall making fun of her job, Annie accepts their crazy challenge - to make a random stranger Instagram-famous in just 30 days. And even when they choose Dr Samuel Page PhD, historian and hater of social media, as her target, Annie's determined to win the bet - whether Sam likes it or not. But getting to know Sam means getting to know more about herself. And before the 30 days are out, Annie has to make a decision about what's really important...

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for The Cows by Dawn O'Porter!   Q&A With Dawn O'Porter The Cows is written from the point of view of three very different women - Tara, Stella and Cam. Which of the three girls do you think is most like you? Or at least that you relate to the most? Really, it’s a mix of all three. They all carry an element of who I am. I feel like I relate to them all. I really didn’t put as much of myself into this book as I have before, but I would be lying if I said they didn’t all represent different elements of who I am.   Do you think if you knew them in real life you would be friends with Cam, Stella and Tara?   Yes for sure. Tara and Cam anyway, they are my kinds of women. Stella would be spikey, she’d probably hate me. But she has a softer side in there, something I’d like to think I could tap away at. I like how ‘un-fluffy’ she is. That appeals to me more than girly types, so I think if we were stuck in a lift tog...
