Brian the Lion Goes Into Space | Book Review

by Stacey October 19, 2018October 19, 2018

Being a bookworm myself, I’m glad the boys are just as into books as I am. Unlike their daddy, who has been reading the same book for a number of years! They’re always asking to go to the library, and I make sure they have at least one book read to them at bed time. Although, Jacob has started reading for himself most of the time now, which I’m super proud of. Recently the boys were very kindly sent a copy of Brian the Lion Goes into Space. Brian the lion is tired of hanging out with his pride – all they do …

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 …
