Put your party hats on, today we'll celebrate! Happy World Book DAY!

Hello everyone,

It is the 6th of March today (for a couple more hours anyways!) which of course means World Book day is finally here.

Fab-u-lous!

And because it's World Book day, families all over the country are celebrating. Celebrating what you ask?

BOOKS OF COURSE!! And what could be better than celebrating all the lovely authors out there, who work so hard to bring us our next favourite book and lets also not forget all the hardworking, super illustrators.

So today, I went out and had a little look around my local book stores and my, my! I found some wonderful books. Particularly picture books- MY WERE THOSE GORGEOUS. I almost couldn't contain my excitement and may have even squealed a little bit. While I desperately tried to tone down my excitement my little niece Elsie had already made herself comfortable. I found her sitting next to the picture +Hodder Childrens Books)

books shelf, wilding browsing through David Melling's 'Hello, Hugless Douglas.(

She only had to look at me once with those big brown eyes of hers and I knew exactly we would not leave without it! Perfect World Book Day treat for the little one.

3 hours, 2 books and 3 book stores later, we finally made our way back home to enjoy the rest of the day with our new books.

Great way to spend a thursday if you ask me!

What did YOU do for World Book Day? Tweet us or let us know in the comment! We'd love to hear some fun stories.

Until next time & as always, HAPPY READING!

Book Review: The GUESTBOOK by HOLLY MARTIN

The Guestbook by Holly Martin Publisher: Carina UK Release Date: 14th February 2014 Rating: 4* FORMAT: Kindl e Welcome to Willow Cottage – throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home. Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! As landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider – whatever her colourful array of guests require.

This includes Annie herself – especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town.

All Fall Down by Ally Carter My rating: 3 of 5 stars Super savvy spy-thriller by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Ally Carter. Need I say more?! Recipe for kick-ass spy thriller: 5 spoonfuls of dark espionage 4 ounces of HOT Russian love interest 2 tsp of ambiguity add 1 ounce of creative genius. Stir generously and consume with care. Oh, Carter, you've done it again... All Fall Down is the first in Ally Carter's Embassy Row Series and starts off with a bang.

I must confess that I wasn't the biggest fan of the Heist Society books, for whatever unknown reason I couldn't quite connect to the characters. I tried and tried, but in the end decided to move on. I know, big, fat sigh. Regardless, I was really excited for this one to hit the 'virtual' shelves. Everyone knows I'm sucker for a good spy-thriller wit
