  Musician Tom and comedian Jess have brilliant timing on stage - but soon after a chance encounter, they learn the hard way that, when it comes to love, timing isn't so easy... Perfect for fans of will -they-won't-they love stories, romantic comedies and Josie Silver. For Jess and Tom, timing is everything. For her, it's the moment she delivers the perfect punchline. For him, it's the heartbeat in the music he makes with his band. And from the night they meet, sharing the same stage at the Edinburgh Festival, their attraction is undeniable. At first, it seems their timing is as perfect in the wings as it is in front of a crowd. But as Jess and Tom's careers take off, the moment for true connection is always just out of reach. With fate pushing them together, only to pull them apart, will the timing ever be right? After all, when it comes to love, the timing has to be perfect. . . doesn't it? I kindly received an early copy through Netgalley and have since been ...

So after recently finishing CoHo & Tarryn Fisher's gem Never Never,  I felt inspired and quickly whipped up a little poster with one of my favourite quotes during my lunch break. After I finished the book, I kept seeing a dark and rusty orange combined with a little   turquoise.    Sort of came to mind when thinking of Silas and Charlie together. I wanted to incorporate a bit of the eeriness I felt, and this is what came out of it.  Hope y'all like it.    I really recommend getting the ebook if you haven't already. It's fairly short compared to their usual stuff, as it's a Novella, but don't be fooled by its length... It'll knock you sideways.  Cheerio for now, folks.  x

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. The story combines the joys of a good thriller with the right amount of fine-tuned conspiracy. 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...

Alright, deep breaths guys... I'm really not quite sure where to begin with this.  First, I'd like to thank Colleen once again for sharing her talent with us; her very faithful readers.  Secondly, I think it's most impressive that there has not been one single book of hers that I didn't like. I mean, not one, not even close and I think that is quite something. I'd say I'm quite a tough cookie to break and certainly have quite high standards when it comes to literature in general. Long story short; I'm quite hard to please. Colleen however has found a way to waltz right through that tough exterior and hits the target every time.   If I'm totally honest with you, I have the strangest feeling Colleen is actually a Witch. Like, a fully fledged magical being with the most wonderful imagination. So if you're reading this right now and you're thinking, ''heck, what is this chick on about... magic isn't real...''  I urg...

Published as ebook by S&S Books for young readers  So this book showed up on my radar fairly unexpectedly. I've got to be honest and say that I hadn't been aware of its publication at all and I certainly didn't know what to expect when I read that 'Black Ice' was labeled as a 'dark and mysterious thriller.'  The reviews I'd read prior to starting the ebook were rather mixed in opinion, but as a big fan of the the Hush Hush series I knew I would just have to give it a chance.  It started off entertaining enough and despite my initial concerns, I kept on reading. I'm not too sure how I feel about labelling Black Ice as a thriller however,  because if I had to be brutally honest, I don't believe it really qualifies as one, even as a young-adult thriller.  Were there parts that somewhat shocked me? Yes, certainly.  Was I scared or at all worried for the characters at any point? Sadly...no.  Which is why I think t...

Lunch time success in the office. Thanks to the never ending rain, I decided to stay in the office, had next to no motivation to eat my lunch out in the rain and so, I just stayed at my desk and decided to start on something cute and bookish to add to the collection. Voila, today's theme was  ''SKIP A HEARTBEAT''  What do you like to do in your lunch breaks? Tweet us with your favourite lunch time activities! Hugs for you all,  xo

So I finally picked up the Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me Series last week... and I'm already half way through the second book.  I remember starting Shatter Me quite a while ago, but couldn't really get into it. Maybe I just wasn't in the right head space, who knows, so I decided to give it a miss for the time being.  I heard so much great stuff about the series, so I knew I had to pick up the series again sometime. Just HAD to and well, I did!  And voila, here we are.  I still had a bit of a hard time getting through the first few chapters of Shatter Me, but did rather enjoy it by the end. HUZZAH  (Review coming soon!) For now,  Let me illustrate overall feels with obligatory collection of suitable gifs.  Half way through the second book, I still find myself TEAM TORN. ACK. We'll see how I feel by the end.  Feels at the beginning of the Series: Half way through Shatter Me: ...

                              All bookworms have pet peeves when it comes to books. Wether you're watching other people with their books and wanting to scream, take the book away and write them a book on "how to read and handle books your way (the right way)",  or wether you want to write big, long, angry letters to publisher about the books they have published.  I.  Please don't start reading your book by cracking the spine and bending the book about.  DO YOU WANT IT TO BREAK?! DO YOU LIKE TO WATCH BOOKS IN PAIN?!   Seriously, I can't deal with my need to run dramatically over and rescue the book from your uncaring hands everytime I'm on the bus.  II.   Please don't ask to borrow my books if you don't have any intention of starting it in the next few weeks! My books are my children and I don't like parting with them.  III . Don't go t...

Are you ready? Steady breath, one, TWO! Let's watch me struggle, trying to accurately describe my feelings for this wonderful book. It'll be a beautiful struggle, but a struggle nonetheless.
