Visions of a loft library

by StaceyUpdated on February 26, 2024October 29, 2017

Since we moved into our forever home a couple of years ago, we have constantly been doing something to at least one of the rooms in our house. We have just had our dining room ceiling replastered after it fell to earth around the same time we moved in! One “room” we haven’t actually accessed yet, is the loft. It’s a right pain to get into with our super high ceilings, and being accessed from the bathroom it’s not ideal. If we ever had the pennies to renovate it though, I know exactly what we I would do with it – …

Recipes and Readly | Review

by StaceyUpdated on May 10, 2017May 8, 2017

A few years ago, I used to be really big on reading magazines. Gossip and food related magazines were my go-to’s, but I can’t remember the last time I actually bought a magazine that wasn’t my regular Slimming World one; other than buying comics for the boys! I pick up the occasional supermarket magazine, but that’s mostly for the recipes; I end up ripping them out and storing them in a folder as whole magazines just take up too much space, don’t they? With Readly though, you have practically the whole magazine world, in your hands. The Ultimate Magazine Subscription Enjoy …

The Book Of Everyone | Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

by StaceyUpdated on May 7, 2024November 23, 2016

My husband is such a difficult person to buy presents for. He never really asks for anything (except a new car, but I can’t afford that), so I have to guess what he would like, and he usually ends up with lots of little bits. He doesn’t read (so not like me), so I don’t buy him books, but The Book Of Everyone is different. I think he will like this one and maybe, you know, actually read it…

Follow Me Home by Jen Benjamin | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on October 23, 2016October 23, 2016

I’m not sure how many of my readers are on Goodreads but if you are, then you can friend me here. Earlier this year I set my reading challenge at 104 books. This is double last year and averages out at two books a week. I don’t think I’m going to manage to hit it though as I’ve had quite a few reading slumps this year. I’m currently on book number 49 though, so I think I will surpass what I read last year. I might lower it a bit actually, just so I can complete it 😉 A recent book …

Random Acts of Unkindness by Jacqueline Ward | Book Review

by StaceyUpdated on April 2, 2024August 23, 2016

Jacqueline Ward recently sent me a copy of Random Acts of Unkindness to review. I am a fan of crime thrillers but don’t read them as often as I used to, so I was looking forward to this one. A gripping crime thriller with an ending you will never guess… how far would you go to find your child? DS Jan Pearce has a big problem. Her fifteen year old son, Aiden, is missing. Jan draws together the threads of missing person cases spanning fifty years and finds tragic connections and unsolved questions. Bessy Swain, an elderly woman that Jan …
