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. A flick through the messages in the leather-bound cottage guestbook gives a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of everyone who passes through her doors. This includes Annie herself – especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with. ...

Book talk - Medea by Rosie Hewlett

Book talk - Review of This Charming Man By C.K. McDonnell

  V ampires do not exist. Everyone knows this. So it's particularly annoying when they start popping up around Manchester . Nobody is pleased about it. Not the Founders, the secret organisation for whom vampires were invented as an allegory, nor the Folk, the magical people hidden in plain sight who only want a quiet life. And definitely not the people of Manchester, because there is nothing more irksome than being murdered by an allegory run amok. Somebody needs to sort this out fast before all Hell really breaks loose - step forward the staff of The Stranger Times. It's not like they don't have enough to be dealing with. Assistant Editor Hannah has come back from getting messily divorced to discover that someone is trying to kidnap a member of their staff and while editor Vincent Banecroft would be delighted to see the back of any of his team, he doesn't like people touching his stuff - it's the principle of the thing. Throw in a precarious plumbing situation, gam...
