I chose this book because I have a keen interest in healthy eating. I'm not a major healthy eater (I'm the wrong size and shape for that) but I try to make good food choices, I like cooking from scratch, and i'm interested in the science of food.

So, a funny thing happened today. I was on the radio. Ok, so a little background may be needed here. A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by someone at our local radio station, Felixstowe radio, who was interested in the fact I was the Felixstowe Book Dragon and wondered if I would go… Continue reading Book Dragon: On Air
Technically the first book I started reading this year, but was interrupted by the bookclub read, so now my second read of the year was 'The Familars' by Stacey Halls.

This was actually my reading roulette for July, but I was a bit behind on Julys books so it got bumped to Augusts reads. I bought this book when it was first released as… Continue reading August Round-Up

I think I fell into the 'Book is better than the film' trap. I loved the… Continue reading Reading Rush – Day 5

The cover art just seemed to exude a quirky confidence and it went straight into my… Continue reading Book review: ‘How to Be Famous’ by Caitlin Moran
I’ve been attempting to be a bit more sociable lately, with some success. As followers of my blog will know, I joined a book group earlier this year, which is fun and gets me out of the house. However, it made me realise one thing, I miss discussing books with people. Years ago I worked… Continue reading Smashbombed!

However Hazel is unsettled in their comfortable little lives, as their estranged father has turned to the… Continue reading Review: Hazel and Holly by Sara C.Snider
