Hi friends, this last week I’m giving you an adult read with a bit of a difference. For one thing, it’s actually a non-fiction read which means that this one is about real people. And another, it has a little bit more than letters inside…

Write To Me by Cynthia Grady
Hi everyone, this week I’m giving you a tween read with a bit of a change. I found this while delving into epistolary fiction in the library, and the simple cover image caught my eye. I’m afraid this is another one set during the Second World War years, but it held much more than simple letters.

Hi everyone, this week’s post is an enchanting non-fiction book I found quite by chance fairly recently. When you see the word “Map” I know you’ll probably think, ‘Oh no, it’s some weird atlas’ but rest assured this is not any ordinary atlas. This, my friends, is a book created by writers and illustrators of the world’s they create in their books. So, I hope to see you below to read my review…

Hello friends, this week’s selection is an adult book, a guide of sorts shall we say. It spoke to me from the shelves and made me pick it up. Wouldn’t it have been romantic if I had read this while lounging somewhere tropical? Sadly, the truth was that I ended up reading it on my lunch breaks at work to several raised eyebrows from colleagues who were piqued at the title. So, if you’re up for it, press the button below to find out more…

Hi everyone, this week’s post is another adult non-fiction read that had a profound impact on both myself and my mother. My mother has even recommended it to many people over the last few years and we believe it has served them the same way it did for us; in being an inspirational read. I hope you find it the same…

Hi everyone, this first week of July we’ll be enjoying a book I picked up not too long ago. I think I mentioned a book that my mum couldn’t put down, Eat to beat disease. She would recite bits from this book and keep going on about the way food acts inside the body and I would reply to her about this particular book I had read. We would have a healthy argument on whose was better. Why not press the button below to see if my choice was better than hers?

Hi friends, here is my last post for April. Winter is not too far along now here in Auckland. I hope you enjoyed last week’s personal post about my life in Zambia during my childhood. This last post is a review about a book I had heard about but didn’t read until recently. This biographical junior read is about an actual young African teenager who was inspired to do more for his family and community.
