My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me… A Black Woman Discovers Her Nazi Past
My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me caught my eye immediately due to the jarring title. It's a personal story of Jennifer Teege who at 38, finds a book in a library which reveals her true identity. Her Grandfather was Amon Goeth (depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List), a Nazi…
Deadly Messengers – If you want a thriller with meat on it’s bones
Deadly Messengers opens right in the middle of a massacre at a cafe. The lone killer stalks his way through, extinguishing lives with an axe. A horrific, gory tragedy, which becomes more disturbing when another mass murder happens not long after in a nursing home; then another at a family…
Duffy’s Holiday Reads #1 Wolf Winter – Dark, stark and incredibly cold…
Some people don't like the term 'beach reads' and neither do I. I think it's because i'm not quite sure what a good 'beach read' should be, and why it should be anything different. A good book is a good book isn't it? It shouldn't matter where you are; although…

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…

Skin – Imagine tracking your personal history before the internet!
Amazing textured and gold book cover Skin is a complete U-turn to my last few reads. Those that know me, know that I’m an ancient history geek, so when I threw my name in the ring to win a copy of Skin from The Reading Room, I was pretty…
Season of Shadow and Light – Much more than a country story
I am privileged to be part of the Season of Shadow and Light blog tour and I gained far more than a free book for review! Season of Shadow and Light isa book I never would have picked up had I seen it on a bookshelf, and I would have been…
The Perfect St Patrick’s Day Read – Fairy Folklore with Reluctantly Charmed….
Reluctantly Charmed is the tale of Kate McDaid, your average working class girl from Dublin. She is single, quite happy being so and has been a junior copywriter for five years without a flicker of promotion. Kate is in a life rut and although she knows it's time to take…
I’ve finished reading ‘Confessions of a Qantas flight attendant’…….
I will admit, I had a 'meh' attitude about reading this book. I had come off the back of reading two, great, YA fiction books and I thought this might be just a very long tabloid expose, but this book turned out to be something else indeed. Owen doesn't just…
