This is the second part in a series of blog posts (you can read part one here) I am writing around my experience of Postnatal Depression. I find it incredibly difficult to write about even now, but I know that when I was going through it I would have gained much comfort from reading 'real' … Continue reading My PND: Coming Home

This is the first part in a series of blog posts I am writing around my experience of Postnatal Depression. I find it incredibly difficult to write about even now, but I know that when I was going through it I would have gained much comfort from reading 'real' experiences; to know that I wasn't … Continue reading My PND: In The Beginning…

July in Review
This is a bit of an overview of the books I've reviewed throughout July (and as I only started my blog in the last week of June, I'll tag that on to this too!).

Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne
It chills me to the core that there are so many accusations of sexual abuse made today, and it is distressing that in so many cases no charges can be brought due to insufficient evidence. The word of the accused is forever pitted against the word of the accuser. In Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne, … Continue reading Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne

Little by little though, I fell in love … Continue reading Missing the London Life
