Need a little Jedi in your life?

Who doesn't love Star Wars? Well to make the wait to the 18th of
December a little easier and to bridge a gap give aftermath a read...


'Aftermath' is a 2015 Star Wars  novel
by Chuck Wendigthat was published by Del Ray Books  on September 4,
2015. The novel is set between the Star Wars films Return of the Jedi
and The force Awakens. 'Aftermath' is the first of a planned novel trilogy that will explore events between the two films.


Not only do we have the new films to nerd out about, but a set of books in-between to keep the jedi withdrawal away! 

"Poo Todd Poo"

One english literature lesson that has always stuck in my head was the captervating first line lecture. My teacher had said that a reader knows off the first line wether or not they will finish the book. He used the example, "How was I to know today was the day I was going to die". Now that is a pretty good first line but the first line that really got me was...

"The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say.
about anything.
"need a poo Todd"

Brilliant!!! I instantly needed to know more...

This is from the first book in a triliogy i am currently reading. It won the guardians childrens prize. It's title is 'the knife of never letting go' and the author is Patrick Ness.

I'm now towards the end of the second book and although it is a childrens book I am totally absorbed in the world it is set in and completely invested in the characters especially the boys pet dog Manchee.

 These set of books would make a great Christmas present or treat yourself!

It's been awhile

Sorry its been so long but , we are back!

Although we may have had a break from blogging we never stopped reading and have some absolute must reads.

So where to start? what sticks out in my head ... well it would have to be 'Me before you' by Jojo Moyes I find my self suggesting this book to almost every person I meet!

I had no idea what the book was about as I’m a firm believer in the element of surprise and therefore never read the blurb. This book will forever be on the bucket list and don't think I will ever get over the emotional roller coaster this book put me on. I'm so glad and read it which I doubt I would have if it hadn't got picked for book club.

Will I put myself through the film though???

Well that’s a whole other question...

Film Due for release March 2016

Worth a read if your a fifty fan...

So fifty shades has long gone the buzz is dying down and we are STILL waiting to see who is going to be cast in the film. If you need to fill the bdsm gap in you then The Dark Garden by Eden Bradley is worth a read its focused on more than one story at a time which is a nice change in pace and i would say its worth a read!

Not my usual cup of tea...

So my fellow blogger handed my a library book which i would have never picked up of my own accord, but having not much else to read i decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed it was easy , fun and made me laugh out loud (a task not many books accomplish let me tell you ) the characters are awesome and the way it bounces between every ones story keeps you interested all the way through. If your looking for a fun summer read especially if your off on your holidays i would pick this up.....
