Oooo, look, progress! Not only have I knocked off another on my FFFi14 list, but thanks to a series re-release & a new release by one of my face historical authors, my reading list is looking quite healthy this month: Eleanor & Park – Rainbow Rowell {kindle | book depository | amazon | iBooks} From Goodreads: Two misfits. One extraordinary love. Eleanor… […]
With only five books in my reading challenge this year, my reading is likely to be quite sporadic, so I thought the easiest option would be a monthly roundup. Around the middle of the month, I’ll share what books I’ve been reading and some of my thoughts. In between times, you can find me on goodreads. So, I missed May. […]

Her particular sticking point was her writing blog. And so I suggested maybe a challenge to get her mind out of her WIP and pushing the […]
With 2013 in the rearview mirror, and the “13 books in 2013” challenge behind us, I have been asked if I would be running something again this year, and I figured, why not? 2013 was a bumper year for reading for me, but with an increasingly mobile Beetle, two boys at big school and Butterfly at preschool, with the attendant […]
The kitchen smelt like Christmas. That was the only word Paul could think of to describe the wall of air that greeted him as he slipped in the side door, hoping to surprise his family. The heat, the turkey and vegetables in the oven, the hot pork under foil, waiting to be carved. Just as they had been doing for […]
