    I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe we’re hurtling towards December and Christmas. I’ve started my Christmas shopping (well, buying one present counts), but I have a long way to go. I do have a list though and some ideas so I’m halfway there. How about you? I’ve just had another delivery of

  • I’ve read all of Glynis Peters‘ books and loved them all. She has another one coming out in November (The Orphan’s Last Goodbye), so I’ll be adding that to my TBR pile. I’m fortunate to have met Glynis a few times – at writing events and also as a friend. She is the most genuine,

  • Book Review – The Match

    I hadn’t read a Harlan Coben book for ages and when I was looking for my next read, I realised I had an unread one on my bookshelf. The Match features Wilde, a character from a previous book I’d read. So I thought it about time I reunited myself with him. The Blurb: He is
