Stories Of Hope - Heather Morris

Image
O h what a delightful read, having read 'The Tattooist Of Auschwitz' and 'Cilka's Journey' I couldn't wait to read her non- fiction collection of stories. Some of the stories in here are not featured in her previous books. This is more a book on the importance of listening and how Lale had trusted Heather enough with his stories to tell her. An incredibly moving and sensitive read, I highly recommend to everyone that had read her previous books to read. A powerful read that will stay with you for a long while after.

Atomic Love - jennie Fields

 Oh what an absolutely thrilling page Turner. I was hooked from the very beginning that towards the end I had to start pacing myself as I didnt want this book to end.  After a failed romantic relationship falls apart with Thomas Wheeler, Rosalind Porter is approached by the F.B.I. Her phone has been tapped and they know Wheeler has been trying to contact her....Now selling Jewelery Rosalinds past as a scientist is fast approaching her. Battling with what is right for her country and a past love, will she do what is right? An utterly compelling read, I didnt want it to be finished, an extremely well written novel, that keeps its pace all the way through. A superb female lead character takes this book by a storm and you wont want to miss out. LOVE, ESPIONAGE, SCIENCE, THRILLING, HISTORIC....what's not love love?!

This is a must read for anyone, this coming over age memoir will make you think and make you want to start voicing your opinions and make sure you're heard for what you believe in.  FUNNY.POWERFUL.SAD.COMPELLING.INSPIRING

 Oh what a delight to read! Just everything in this book Mark's the very start of what you like will be a fantastic series. You learn about Rebus, his family, his previous life before joining the police and with all that going on theres a murderer lurking among the streets of Edinburgh abducting an killing girls....girls around the same ages as Rebuss daughter Sammy ... will Rebus be able to find the killer when the pressure starts getting to him?

Anti-Social - Nick Pettigrew

 What an insightful, witty, dark and eye opening read. Once I had started this book I knew I was going to find it hard putting it down. This memoir of an Anti-social behavioural officer really opens your eyes to what they have to deal with, at times it can be incredibly heart breaking at times it will make you feel angry, I know I felt a great deal of compassion whilst reading this book. The humour and wit throughout is just superb and always in the right places! I really thought it added to the book. I really hope there will be more to come from Nick Pettigrew I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.
