I am so pleased to be on the Random Things blog tour today for The Sea Refuses No River by Bethany Rivers. My thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me to take part, and to Fly on the Wall Press for gifting me a copy of the book.

Pilgrim by Louise Hall
I was lucky enough to win a signed copy of this book in a Twitter competition, and it's one that I've been intrigued by since it arrived. I was initially concerned that Pilgrim would be a little too heavy on the religious side for me, but at it's heart, the novel is about faith and … Continue reading Pilgrim by Louise Hall
My Name is Monster by Katie Hale
From the off there is a dizzying sense of unease and unfamiliarity with My Name is Monster. I found myself reading and desperately trying to make this world fit within my own, grasping for something known to me - of course, that is the beauty of dystopian fiction. The taking of what we know and … Continue reading My Name is Monster by Katie Hale
Echo Murder by Laura Laakso
Last year I shifted way out of my comfort zone and read Fallible Justice (you can read the review here), the first in the Wilde Investigations series by Laura Laakso. A crime/fantasy hybrid is something I ordinarily would have steered clear of - but I was drawn to the book, and although it took a … Continue reading Echo Murder by Laura Laakso
A Pirate’s Song by Justin Davis
A little bit different for me on this blog, but I am delighted to open the blog tour today for A Pirate's Song by Justin Davis. My thanks to Claire at Blue Falcon Publishing for the review copy. As it is half term, this is without doubt a very timely blog tour. A Pirate's Song … Continue reading A Pirate’s Song by Justin Davis
The Best of Crimes by K.C. Maher
Ok. So.…...wow. I have been utterly immersed in The Best of Crimes by K.C. Maher for the best part of today, and never have I read a book where I've felt so conflicted. The main character, Walter Mitchell tells the story via first person narration, and his searing honesty is what makes this book both … Continue reading The Best of Crimes by K.C. Maher
Juliet the Maniac by Juliet Escoria
My thanks to Nikki Griffiths at Melville House for the ARC copy of Juliet the Maniac. This is the type of book that, were I not running this book blog, I most likely would never have found, let alone chosen to read. However, when I was offered the opportunity to read it, there was something … Continue reading Juliet the Maniac by Juliet Escoria
Take Me To The Edge by Katya Boirand
It is a pleasure to open the blog tour today for Take Me To The Edge by Katya Boirand. My thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me to take part. When I first read the concept for this collection of poetry, I think I nearly snapped Anne's virtual arm off. All of the poems in … Continue reading Take Me To The Edge by Katya Boirand
Roar by Cecelia Ahern
I bought and read this earlier in the year, and it seemed only right to post my review today as it has just been released in paperback! Roar is collection of short stories, thirty to be exact, and each story tells the tale of a different woman dealing with some challenge whether this be an … Continue reading Roar by Cecelia Ahern
The House Across the Street by Lesley Pearse – Paperback Release!
Wow. I cannot believe that it was last September that I (very excitedly!) reviewed The House Across the Street by Lesley Pearse (my review is here). She is one of my long-time favourite authors and I was honoured to have my Twitterverse wish granted and be able to read an ARC copy of this book, … Continue reading The House Across the Street by Lesley Pearse – Paperback Release!
