Tom Houghton – When you love a character so much, you are glad they aren’t real..

The Hand That Feeds You – Domestic noir and dogs, two of my favourite things!
I don't usually jump on the bandwagon. I'm not having twitter rows about Go Set A Watchman, I would rather chew my own big toenail than read 50 Shades Of Grey, I managed to avoid peplum skirts and I didn't invest in a Uniqlo puffer vest for winter (although I…

Changing Stations – 50 Shades Meets Sid James!
Purchase Changing Stations at I was asked to give an honest review in exchange for listening to Changing Stations by Shorelowe. The tough thing about being given books to read and listen to, is that sometimes, they just don't work for me. What do I do? Do I pretend it…
Montage of Heck – Life, Love & Art of Kurt Cobain
Montage Of Heck - If you love music, this book needs to be on your coffee table. I was a teenager in the 90's and even in a little town in England, the grunge scene crept in and took over. We all embraced it, and the memories I have of…
