I have to admit that there are times when I absolutely love the English language. A friend of mine is learning Chinese and we were chatting about learning a new language. I learned British Sign language about 5 years ago and loved it but found thinking in a whole new way quite challenging. It isn’t simply […]
Book Review. That’s not what happened by Kody Keplinger I’ve read quite a few school shooting books recently. Only Child by Rhiannon Navin, This is not where it ends by Marieke Nijkamp, All the Hidden Truths by Clare Askew and Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips (although technically this last one was at a Zoo).

Book Review- The Island by M.A Bennett I was given an advanced copy of this by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review and I can honestly say I am glad I didn’t pay for it. I actually read it a few weeks ago but it’s taken me this long to write a review because […]

It’s definitely one that draws your attention. Synopsis: Speth lives in a world where, from the moment she turns fifteen, every […]
Tradition By Brendan Kiely I don’t make it a habit to get truly worked up over a book. I barely have enough energy to read at the moment let alone let the book affect my emotions. But I finished a book on Sunday last week and I’m still angry about it and only getting […]
So I go to a few comic cons and I like cosplaying. I’ve even roped my new Boy into it. I can’t remember whose idea it was (I say his, he says mine), but after watching Zootopia we thought Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde would be a great couples cosplay. This is them if you’ve […]
