Oh my goodness where to start...I just loved this book!  I absolutely adore Ruth Jones, however this is the first book I've read by her! This definitely won't be the last, in fact I have actually ordered the previous books she's written. I just loved how this book kept me laughing throughout and by the end I was solving my heart out, the way the life events that take place through the book have been written are just fantastic, she draws you in to each occasion and makes you feel as though you are there at the time. Definitely a 5* review from me!

Today is my stop on the blog tour for 'Shirk, Play and Rest' by Andrew Grumbridge and Vincent Raison, this book had me in stitches laughing, well what can you say when it is The Ultimate Slackers Bible. If you are looking for a guide to all of the shortcuts to life then this book has you covered, have no motivation? That's not a problem, none is needed!!!  The perfect book to guide you on how to make more out of life by doing less. Many thanks to Annr @randomthingstours for letting me take part in this blog.

Today is my stop on the blog tour for ' Should I Tell You' by the lovely Jill Mansell. An absolute queen of writing in my eyes, so jumped at the opportunity to take part in this blog tour. I have read most of Jill's books and everyone I read they just pull me in straight away, the characters draw me in until I feel like I'm part of their lives. 'Should I Tell You' did just that, I didn't want to put it down, I read it in just two sittings.  This book made my heart feel warm, I didn't want it to end. Full of Love and Laughter what more could a book need? Thank you Anne at Random Things Tours for letting me take part in the most gorgeous blog tour.

Today is my spot on the blog tour for 'Fossils' by Alison Armstrong. An extremely compelling and moving novel, I couldn't belive this was a debut! Sherri-Lee is twelve years old and after witnessing a failed bank robbery, she sees this as her way out of town and her miserable homelike and claims a new identity...but could her new freedom be everything she's expecting? I really enjoyed this novel, I loved her perfectly Alison developed her characters throughout the book. Thank you Anne at Random Things Tours for letting me take part in this blog tour.

Today is my stop on the blog tour for 'I Know What You're Thinking' by Phill Featherstone. An exciting, unputdownable and thrilling read.  There is nothing better than a book that is fast paced and holds your attention throughout. I loved every minute of this book, the idea was completely original and very well developed throughout. When Cameron has been Abducted, Beth will stop at nothing to find him. They have been best friends since childhood and know each other inside out....they can even see into each others minds.... I really enjoyed this book, I loved how it developed from start to finish. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games. Thank you Anne at Random Things Tours for letting me take part in this thrilling blog tour.

I just want to start by saying I LOVED this book, I couldn't put it down, I didn't want to put it down and I was so sad when it ended. So much so as soon as it ended I rushed out to buy book 2, 'Four Aunties and a Wedding.' I loved that this book was original and highly entertaining, it made me laugh out loud and now I'm addicted. I really hope this is going to be a lengthy series. Meddelin (meddy) thinks she has it all sorted until her aunt asks her to join the family business and her boyfriend wants to move away. Her mum thinks it's time she settles down and arranges a blind date for her and when it goes horrifically wrong and her date ends up dead all Meddy can thunk of is getting help from her mum and aunts...those who helped her get into this mess!!! Join Meddy and her aunts on this ride as they try to cover a murder, I mean what could possibly go wrong?!!! HILARIOUS. ORIGINAL. CHARMING. WITTY. CULTURAL. I BLOODY LOVED IT! I read this as part of a buddy rea...

Today is my stop on the blog tour for 'Kalmann' by Joachim Scmidt, an Icelandic mystery full of humour.  I really enjoyed this book, I found it very atmospheric, humours and engaging. Although different for your usual mystery read I loved the originality around it.  Self appointed sherrif, Kalmann of  Raufarhöfn (a small town in the north of Iceland) comes across a puddle of blood whilst out Fox hunting. However instead of reporting the blood, he goes home to watch Dr Phil. It isn't until he is taken in for questioning we unravel the complex life of Kalmann Odinsson and how he became so engrossed in survival having learnt it from his grandfather. But by not reporting the puddle of blood stained ice could Kalmann have gotten himself tangled up in something far worse? Kalmann will not stop until he finds out what has happened.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish, I do hope we will see more of Kalmann in the future.  Thank you Anne at Random Things...
