Review – The Accident by LH Stacey @LyndaStacey @BoldwoodBooks #ARCReview #BookBlogger #PublicationDay #Suspense #TheAccident

Unless you’re completely new to my blog, you will be aware that not only am I a fan of thrillers, but I also particularly enjoy the suspense style used by LH Stacey. I’m delighted to consider her a friend, and it was a no-brainer when she asked if I’d like an advance copy of TheContinue reading “Review – The Accident by LH Stacey @LyndaStacey @BoldwoodBooks #ARCReview #BookBlogger #PublicationDay #Suspense #TheAccident”

Blog Tour – Coffee and Cake at Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn @HMLynnauthor @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #PublicationDay #CoffeeAndCakeAtWildflowerLock

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, I knew that I needed to read this second instalment. It follows on from almost the exact moment that New Beginnings at Wildflower Lock (link to my review) ended. I’m grateful to Rachel Gilbey of Rachel’s Random Resources for the blog tour invite andContinue reading “Blog Tour – Coffee and Cake at Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn @HMLynnauthor @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #PublicationDay #CoffeeAndCakeAtWildflowerLock”

Blog Tour – The Austrian Bride by Helen Parusel @helenparusel @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #TheAustrianBride

Helen Parusel is a new author, to me, who I discovered via Facebook. I should maybe have researched her writing in more detail, before agreeing to this tour as I try to avoid stories relating to Nazis and the Holocaust.  You see, I grew up very aware of the awful realities and I react quiteContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Austrian Bride by Helen Parusel @helenparusel @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #TheAustrianBride”

Blog Tour – Shadows In The Ashes by Christina Courtenay @piaccourtenay @rararesources #BlogTour #PublicationDay #BookReview #DualTimeline #RespectRomFic #ShadowsInTheAshes

It would be an understatement to call me a huge fan of this author; in fact, my love of timeslip and dual timeline stories was certainly fuelled by her terrific writing.  If you’ve not read any of Christina’s books, then you are in for a treat as you discover her thoroughly researched tales from aContinue reading “Blog Tour – Shadows In The Ashes by Christina Courtenay @piaccourtenay @rararesources #BlogTour #PublicationDay #BookReview #DualTimeline #RespectRomFic #ShadowsInTheAshes”

Blog Tour – The Wedding of the Year by Jill Mansell @JillMansell @RandomTTours @headlinepg #BlogTour #BookReview #PublicationDay #TheWeddingOfTheYear

Oh my! I used to lament the fact that Jill only releases one book per year and really wished that she could produce more.  Now, my view has shifted as I am a reviewer and have been incredibly fortunate to be included in her January blog tours.  She now provides an antidote to my overindulgenceContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Wedding of the Year by Jill Mansell @JillMansell @RandomTTours @headlinepg #BlogTour #BookReview #PublicationDay #TheWeddingOfTheYear”

Blog Tour – Over the Garden Fence by Karen Louise Hollis @karenlnhollis @rararesources #BlogTour #BookReview #BookBlogger #OverTheGardenFence

I was really excited to read this book as I’d heard so much about it, even in the planning stage.  Karen is a fellow blogger, and we tend to hang out in similar social media groups, so I had an inkling of what was coming. Having read her earlier novels, I was sure that IContinue reading “Blog Tour – Over the Garden Fence by Karen Louise Hollis @karenlnhollis @rararesources #BlogTour #BookReview #BookBlogger #OverTheGardenFence”

Blog Tour – An Enchanted Moment on Ever After Street by Jaimie Admans @be_the_spark @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #PublicationDay #boldwoodbloggers #BookReview #RespectRomFic #AnEnchantedMomentOnEverAfterStreet

I was relatively late in discovering this author but soon found myself becoming a fan, having read an earlier book and then completely forgetting. There’s a real magic to her writing style and it seems natural that her current series sees her retelling some of our best loved fairytales albeit with a modern twist. IfContinue reading “Blog Tour – An Enchanted Moment on Ever After Street by Jaimie Admans @be_the_spark @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #PublicationDay #boldwoodbloggers #BookReview #RespectRomFic #AnEnchantedMomentOnEverAfterStreet”

Blog Tour – A Breath of Fresh Air by Jessica Redland @JessicaRedland @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #RespectRomFic #boldwoodbloggers #PublicationDay #ABreathOfFreshAir

I have waited with bated breath for this book and was thrilled to receive my tour invite and advance reading copy.  I’m usually sad when it’s time to stop reading Christmas books, but my January list was packed with gems like this so the transition was painless and well worth the effort.  If you’d likeContinue reading “Blog Tour – A Breath of Fresh Air by Jessica Redland @JessicaRedland @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #RespectRomFic #boldwoodbloggers #PublicationDay #ABreathOfFreshAir”

Blog Tour – The Island Cottage by Jane Lovering @janelovering @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #PublicationDay #BlogTour #BookReview #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #TheIslandCottage

I make no secret of the fact that I have loved each one of Jane’s books and look forward to each new release.  With that comes a potential challenge as I am loathe to either post negative comments or promote a book that I found to be lacklustre.  I’m delighted to say that there isContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Island Cottage by Jane Lovering @janelovering @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #PublicationDay #BlogTour #BookReview #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #TheIslandCottage”

2023 – A Bookish Year in Review – or how I got to meet so many wonderful people in the space of a year.

After a bumper year with 142 books read, according to my Kindle, I’ve been really busy.  Because of work commitments, I took a slight step back and focused on not overwhelming myself.  That didn’t go as well as I had hoped, with a huge number of blog posts while working full-time with rather early starts.Continue reading “2023 – A Bookish Year in Review – or how I got to meet so many wonderful people in the space of a year.”
