Pub Date: 12 Nov 2020

My Recommendation – 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book about Hannah and Nico and the children. It was a lovely Christmas story and I enjoyed the settings in England and Sweden. I loved the audiobook narrator, especially when she was narrating the children's voices. She did a very good job. I loved when she had Maria saying "my Dad". That was so cute and it made my heart melt. I highly recommend this book.

This is a cute little children's board book which shows pictures of baby animals who are learning how to stand up and walk. Sometimes they will fall and that is ok as they will get up again to try once more. All babies and toddlers will love this book. I enjoyed reading it with my daughter.

This is a very important and special children's book which introduces children to what may happen if their loved one develops dementia. It is a sad story, but it is also heartwarming and has happiness in it. The story is about a little girl whose grandad develops dementia and how she looks after him by showing him love and affection and helping him to remember special things and special days out, such as going to the beach. The writing of the book is very good and the illustrations are beautiful. I loved this book and it really touched my heart as I have a family member who is going through dementia at the moment.

This is a fantastic children's book about a little lovebird called Rissy who shows her family that she does not wish to receive kisses from them. Rissy feels that there must be something wrong with her due to this, as her family and friends complain about it. However, her Mum tells her that there is nothing wrong with her and that there are other ways for people to show affection to each other. The book explains to children that it is important not to touch someone without their permission and that if someone touches them and they do not like it, they should tell an adult about it right away. I think this is a great book to show children that it is ok if they do not wish to be touched in a certain way and that they are in charge of their body and who can touch it. It shows them that they must respect their bodies and respect other people's bodies too.

This is a lovely, sweet children's picture book about two female elephants who become best friends and then they get separated for many years. Will they manage to find each other again? I loved this book and I enjoyed the cute elephants, the scenery, the beautiful hand drawn images and the writing.

My Recommendation - 5 stars


I loved this book a lot! The story is about a woman called Cara and a man called Javier, who both join together through their work, to create, record and perform music together. From this, their friendship and bond grow stronger and they spend a lot of time together. Cara has mental health issues due to a physical disability and loss of some of her family and Javier has also lost a family member, so there are a lot of emotional moments in the book and all of this adds depth to the story. The Christmas theme in the book isn't the same as normal Christmas stories that come out at this time of the year, as it was more like a summer adventure story with the Christmas theme coming in more near the end of the book. I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the different destinations in which the book took place. I also enjoyed listening to the audio book narrator, who portrayed the different accents successfully. The netgalley app worked great for me too.

My Recommendation - 5 stars


Wow! This is a fantastic psychological thriller about a woman called Regina who is living as a house mate in a house with some other girls after she has run away from her old life due to some trauma she has experienced. The book really left me guessing until the very end and I was really surprised by the ending, which at first, left me confused until I realised what had happened. Once I realised what was going on, I laughed out loud after I was able to close my mouth from the shock, as it was so clever and it had me fooled. I really loved this book a lot as it had so many twists and turns, was very thrilling and suspenseful and I enjoyed the OCD aspect too, as I love psychology. 


The narrator of the audio book is amazing and she was able to have me sitting on the edge of my seat feeling scared, wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed using the netgalley app to listen to this book. 


I will look into reading the author's other books in the future, as she is very talented! I highly recommend this book and it is now one of my favourite books of this year!

This is a great book, which helped me a lot. The book is about a man called Paul who had severe obstructive sleep apnea and how he overcame it. He writes about what sleep apnea is and different ways in which we can help our respiratory system and our breathing in order to overcome it, as well as helping with other problems such as asthma. I have used some of the breathing techniques in the book already and it has helped me with my asthma, so thankyou. I highly recommend this book, which is very useful and has a lot of valuable information in it.

This is a really cute children's book about a little boy who is having trouble doing his schoolwork and remembering things. His brain, dressed as a little guy wearing clothes and glasses comes to his side to show him how he can do some brain training to help him remember things and do his school work.

This is a lovely children's book which has beautiful bright and colourful illustrations. I really enjoyed reading this book with my daughter and she loved to see the different lessons that can be done at school, along with the people who help run the school. She also loved the counting aspect of the book and the characters of the book.

My Recommendation - 3 stars


This book is about a man called Leo, a woman called The Rat and a woman called Claire, who come together in a school setting, to compete for a contest called 'The Grand Jeu'. The story is good and there was a bit of secretive mystery to it, which I liked, but I found it all a bit confusing and it was a bit hard for me to understand everything that was happening. However, the author is a very good writer, who creates really beautiful sentences and the audio narrators are also very good. The cover of the book is beautiful too and that is what drew me to the book. I am sure other readers would enjoy this book.


Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 5 stars


Wow, what can I say. This book is really awesome and I loved it very much! 

The start of the book started off slow for me, but once it got going, I really enjoyed it and I was very excited to find out who the killer was. I thought I had it worked out before the big reveal near the end, but I was surprised to find out that the killer wasn't who I thought it was. I love it when this happens, just as much as I love it when I have worked out who the killer is. It is so exciting. 


I really enjoyed the psychology in the book, which focused on sibling rivalry and graphology. I love learning new things, so this was right up my street. I found it very interesting. 

I loved the characters in the book, good and bad, and Angela Marsons, who is one of my favourite authors, described them all so wonderfully that I felt like I was in the book living inside the story with them all. I love Kim, Bryant, Alison, Stacey and Penn and they felt like a big family to me, which I felt a part of. I love the way that Angela makes the characters and the story feel real. I would love to see Angela's books as a TV series. She is so good at showing the characters different emotions and I especially loved the story between Penn and his brother, which was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. A whole range of emotions is shown throughout the book from different characters and I love how Angela can make me feel these emotions too. I shed a few tears when reading about Penn and his brother, for example. I also love how at the end of each book, Angela ties up all the loose ends and shows us a separate chapter for each character. It helps to complete the book and put things to rest, much like the satisfaction we feel after we have eaten a dinner, pudding and had a big drink. However, this time, in this book, there was a small cliffhanger at the end, where I was excited to see what happened next with Stacey. I will just have to wait until the next book to find out how she reacts to the news! 


I highly recommend this fantastic book and I look forward to reading more from Angela in the future! 


Many thanks to Angela Marsons, Bookouture and netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 4 stars


Even though this book is a bit different to the usual books that I read, I enjoyed it. The book is a mixture of mystery, thriller, sci-fi and fantasy and it is set in the future. All of the men on earth have been wiped out by a deadly virus, leaving only females on the planet. Some scientists have been trying to produce the male genome, but this has been stolen and a girl called Athena is called on to help solve the case. I really liked Athena and her journey and I liked the ending of the book.

This is a wonderful, heartwarming audiobook, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It is perfect for this time of the year, as near the end of the book, it is Christmas time. The book is about a woman called Victoria and a man called Oliver, who pretend they are in a romantic relationship with each other and they go on to become close and have a lovely friendship. I loved the characters of the book, the story and the audiobook narrator too. I loved all of it!

Wow! This is a really fantastic book with amazing illustrations and fun counting opportunities. My daughter really loved this book as she loves bunnies, animals, chocolate and counting. There was a lot of creative detail in this book that it really held her interest for a long time. Normally she gets bored of books easily, but she was engrossed in this one and was counting happily. Every child would love to have this book as a special gift at Easter time and indeed at any time of the year. It was really great and I highly recommend it!

This is a children's book about a little boy who runs through his house to try and escape The Snark. My daughter found it a little bit scary, but I reassured her that The Snark is not real and not to worry. The Snark is a monster which is created in the minds of little ones, but in reality it is just their fears that creates it and we can soothe the little ones to help them overcome their fears. Some parts of the book were funny, and the lovely colourful illustrations and rhyming words made the book more interesting and fun.

This children's book is about a dinosaur who has no patience and he doesn't understand why he can't have what he wants right away. His parents try to teach him to be more patient and to think about other people's feelings too. My daughter and I enjoyed this book and I think it helped her to understand patience a bit more. The graphics in the book were very realistic and my daughter could understand how the dinosaur felt by looking at the graphics.

I absolutely loved this beautiful book. It is a very special book, much like a treasure trove of goodies. Each time I looked at one of the beautiful photographs of a place in Japan, I felt such peace, joy and happiness. It is the perfect book to read if you wish to travel around Japan, since it shows lots of different places and travel information. However, it is also a good book to read if you are just interested in finding out what Japan is like. I highly recommend this wonderful book. It is both a practical book and a fantastic high energy piece of art and creativity.

I really enjoyed this audiobook by Kara Goldin, which was about her business path to success and also about her home life. It was very inspirational and I loved the way in which she could juggle all of her family life and home life with her business life. I loved her strength and her great ideas for creativity and expansion. This book inspired me to work more on my business too and reminded me that I can be strong and do anything I put my mind to. 

The narration of the book was very good and Kara has a lovely voice which is a joy to listen to.

This is an amazing book for children and adults, about the life cycle of Monarch butterflies and how they live. It is an educational book which shows how a Monarch starts as an egg, grows into a caterpillar, then to a butterfly and where it will go, what plants it likes to eat and much more. I really loved this book so much as I love butterflies and I learned a lot about them that I didn't already know. The illustrations in the book are outstanding and really beautiful and it is a book that I would love to read again and again. This would be a fantastic book to have in a classroom.

This is a magical book that both my daughter and I enjoyed very much. We loved the beautiful graphics in the book, which were bright and colourful. 


Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really fantastic educational book for children and adults. It is all about forests, animals who live in forests, deforestation and different ways in which we can tackle deforestation, to save the trees and the planet from destruction. 


At the beginning of the book we learn about different types of forests around the world and how they affect people, animals and places; this is very interesting. We then learn about the causes, effects and solutions to deforestation and how we, the readers around the world, can help and make a difference in order to help our planet and all who live on it. 


I really loved this book and learned a lot from it. It is a book that every person in the world should read! It is amazing and it has really beautiful graphics in it too. It is a book that has a lot of knowledge and information in it, but it is easy to read. I highly recommend this book.

This is a lovely self-help book in which the author gives 75 mantras that we can use in our lives, to help bring about creativity, strength, love, peace, joy, positivity, confidence and much more. I really enjoyed this book and it helped me to feel more empowered and confident. The book also has lovely graphics, which are inspiring.
