Tranquil Reader

Hello Everyone, I had an awesome reading month - I read 5 books!  On top of that; I can't decide which one is my favourite - that's how much I enjoyed each of these books! All of them were good in their own way. They also all had 5 star ratings as well! So, on that note; I recommend all the books that I read this month: -Pumpkintown Perils: Volume One by Aubrey Law -Moondance by Diane Chandler -The Hidden Genes of Professor K by Gabriel Farago -That Girl by Leslie DJ And last but not least; Three & Out by Laura Chapman. If you have the opportunity or the money to get your hands on any of these books, be sure to do so. Moondance was Contemporary ; Pumpkintown Perils and The Hidden Genes of Professor K were Mystery/Suspense/Thriller ; That Girl and Three & Out were Chick Lit . Last Word: I've already got a few books lined up for November, so I'm hoping to have a good reading month if not an awesome one. I'm also hoping that I'l...

What once seemed like a promising opportunity to advance her husband’s career while giving her some much needed independence and adventure has proven to be a bust.

Hello everyone, This week has been a good week of reading, not in terms of how much I read, but what I read. I just recently finished a book that really surprised me, as you know, it's called 'Moondance' by Diane Chandler. I won't be putting up reviews for it just yet; I'd like to wait until the book's release date; which is 31st October 2016. It is definitely worth the rating that I decided to give it. That is how good the book is! I'll explain more of my thoughts on it in my reviews, and once I've posted my reviews, I'll then put the links in a 'Week of Reading' post. One thing I will definitely say is that this book is worth getting your hands on; it is available for pre-order on  Amazon I'm now reading 'The Hidden Genes of Professor K' by Gabriel Farago, and so far I'm only a few pages in. Seems like I've also put myself into a bit of a tight space with reading again; since I've got a review due for nex...

Hello Everyone, I had quite a reading lag in September, so I finished fewer books than I hoped I would. Technically I only read two books this month... If I had to choose between the two books that I read in September, I'd choose 'The ExtraOrdinary Life of Heather Mason: Assumptions and Little Voices' by Frances P. Webber. It seems like September was a bit of a busy month for me outside of the reading. Another thing that I decided to start doing this month, was start a blog on WordPress. This is going to cover a wider range of topics, things like my writing, my faith, other bookish things, and just all-round my thoughts, so if you would like to check it out, the link is  here I also managed to do some book buying yesterday, which I also posted about on WordPress, which you can read about  here Last Word: I'm not sure how October is going to go since the hours at work are increasing (even more than what I'm currently working now), so I hope tha...
