I haven’t actually ever been on holiday during July/August since I was a child and my mother was a teacher so we couldn’t go in term time, May and September have always been my holiday months of choice. I was recently asked by Holiday Gems who provide last minute holidays to share some book recommendations that are perfect for travelling and reading by the pool. I won’t lie, I…

I’m always afraid I’ll give away spoilers if I review anything which is why I’ve decided to share favourite authors today rather than books. So far this year I’ve read 14 books, the last time I read that many books it must have been 2012 so I’m pretty impressed with myself. I’ve been doing a lot of long train journeys and that means I can power through without distractions. My favourite genre of books these days is either Young Adult Fantasy (can’t be bothered with those teen growing pains ones, being an adult is…

What Little Miss Read – Edie by Sophy Henn
It’s been so long since I’ve gotten around to doing a What Little Miss Read section on the blog, not because we haven’t been reading, because we have, a lot.

However when this particular book arrived and we had a read through, I just knew we needed to do a very special post about it and finally today we had a chance to. Edie by Sophy Henn* Edie is the newest children’s book…

What Little Miss Read April & May 2016
Life has suddenly got a little hectic in our house hold meaning i’m falling behind on series posts such as this one because I just don’t have the time to sit down and really write. Life hasn’t stopped, Little Miss is still loving her books, especially new books that introduce her to new series’ like The Fairytale Hairdresser that I’m going to talk about below. It’s now less than 3 months until LM heads off to big school where she will be bringing home books on a weekly basis as she learns to read. And that’s a scary thought! My other half has been wonderful taking full control on teaching…
