Cover Reveal: Strength by Amy Daws

Throwback Thursday: The Broons and Oor Wullie

This is another read that has followed me from my childhood.. Sundays in my house consisted of going to Mass followed by reading of the The Sunday Post at either the church hall or my grandparents house. I wasn't interested in reading the rest of the newspaper, it was always about the comic strips. Every time.
It soon became family tradition that come Christmas we would receive The Broons and Oor Wullie annuals as gifts. My older sister and I would ignore everything else whilst we read a book each before swapping with each other.

Blog Tour: The Marquess and the Maiden by Robyn DeHart

About the Book:

Harriet Wheatley is the mastermind behind the Ladies of Virtue's quest to rehabilitate the gentlemen of the ton. So when it comes to selecting her own target, she knows who to choose: Oliver Weeks, Marquess of Davenport—the most extravagant wastrel in all of London.

Known for his opulent lifestyle, Oliver isn't surprised by Harriet's confrontation. It's obvious Harriet longs for any way to take him down a notch. She says she'll help him find a bride, but he knows it's only because it gives her the excuse to chastise his indulgent ways.

Oliver has good reason for his flagrant overspending, but Harriet will hear nothing of it. So he has no choice but to teach the lady a lesson, even if it means risking his heart to the hard-headed and fiery woman.

The Nights are Hotter in Africa...

When Erica Knight arrives in Lebombo Game Reserve for her first African safari

she has no idea that her life is about to be changed forever. As an executive for

a mining company she believes that negotiating the mining rights for the

Lebombo Reserve will be a slam-dunk, but she didn’t count on locking horns with

the reserve’s enigmatic owner, Jean-Luc de Graaf.

In the heart of a wild African landscape full of beauty and danger, Erica and

Jean-Luc both stubborn and passionate find themselves on opposite sides of an

escalating conflict. With the Reserve threatened by vicious poachers and

runaway fires, they are thrown together unable to contain the scorching

attraction between them.

Far away from the rat race of New York Erica feels the stirring of a different

drum, ancient and irresistible. But surrendering to the wild would mean she

would have to submit to the powerful attraction to Jean-Luc and she isn’t ready

to give up control just yet...

 

Throwback Thursday: Gobbolino the Witch's Cat by Ursula Moray Williams

One of my very earliest reading memories was this book. Or rather this story.
The version I read was included in one of those fortnightly/monthly subscription magazines. Each issue came with a magazine filled with serialised stories and accompanying tape cassette so very young readers could read along (including a ping at the end of every page so you knew when to turn over). My mum bought us the whole collection, but Gobbolino's story is the only I truly remember. And I loved it. I would fast forward the tapes to find the next instalment (I think it was split into chapters) I just new I couldn't wait til the next instalment to find out what had happened.

The Marquess of Wesley is out for blood. For a year, Lord Wesley has tried to

At one and twenty, Miss Kate Holden intends to become a governess, having

When Ethan founded Counterstrike he expected a challenge but nothing could

tag he didn’t expect when he must face his own personal demons to keep her

safe.
