Top Ten Tuesday – Characters Who Are Great Leaders

Happy Tuesday everyone! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is an interesting one: Characters Who Would Make Great Leaders. I don’t know about you, but there are certain types of people or roles that naturally come to mind with the word ‘leader’. I think of presidents and prime ministers, I get a movie reel of Ronie Kendig‘s characters running across my mind’s eye. (I’ll just pause and let you enjoy that for a moment 😉 )

Top Ten Tuesday – Book Boyfriends

Well! This is quite possibly the most difficult Top Ten Tuesday post I have ever had to put together, because the topic for this week from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Top Ten Book Boyfriends. Now, I’m a happily married, strictly monogamous woman, but I’m sure you can all relate to having developed a little crush on (okay, maybe flat-out swooned over) characters you’ve met in books. Today is all about those characters! But there’s just one problem. Do you know how many books I’ve read in my lifetime? (Seriously, because I think it would be kind

Top Ten Tuesday – Series I've Been Meaning to Start or Finish, but Haven't

I’m back! And this week’s Top Ten Tuesday from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is officially Top Ten Series I’ve Been Meaning to Start but Haven’t. I’ve decided to split this into two lists: Series I’ve Been Meaning to Start, but Haven’t, and Series I’ve Been Meaning to Finish, but Haven’t. Sadly, both could have been full lists in their own right, but I have limited myself to five in each category.

Welcome to First Line Friday! Today is release day for book number six in Tamara Leigh’s Age of Faith series, so how could I feature any other book for First Line Friday?!

Author Interview with Tamara Leigh

I am so very excited to introduce you to my guest today, because she has written my all-time favourite medieval romance series, The Age of Faith, AND after a wait of THREE YEARS, book number six, The Vexing, releases tomorrow! 😁 I am, of course, talking about Tamara Leigh! And I have a feeling she’s going to be a very popular guest, if for no other reason than she’s suggested dark chocolate and an extra hot caramel macchiato to accompany this interview.

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I SOOOO Could Have Read In One Sitting

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic, thanks to the girls at The Broke and The Bookish, is a Read In One Sitting theme. Gone are the days when I could read a book in one sitting! Reading a book in one day still happens occasionally (particularly if it’s a novella), although it’s usually more like 2-3 days, depending on what’s been happening on those days. But sometimes there are books that are REALLY hard to pull yourself out of; books that totally suck you into the world they create and leave you floundering in some strange alternate reality when a voice pipes

Top Ten Tuesday – My Spring (Autumn!) TBR Part 2

Top Ten Tuesday is back to its regular schedule today with the girls from The Broke and The Bookish, but if you caught last week’s post you’ll know I got in a week early! When I saw that this week’s post would be a Top Ten list of spring (otherwise known as autumn in my part of the world) TBR titles, I knew there was no way I could fit them all in one post, so I split mine into two parts. If you want to see what made it on to my first-half-of-spring list, you can read last week’s

The Unveiling (Tamara Leigh) – Review

~ About the Book ~ 12th century England: Two men vie for the throne: King Stephen the usurper and young Duke Henry the rightful heir. Amid civil and private wars, alliances are forged, loyalties are betrayed, families are divided, and marriages are made. For four years, Lady Annyn Bretanne has trained at arms with one end in mind—to avenge her brother’s murder as God has not deemed it worthy to do. Disguised as a squire, she sets off to exact revenge on a man known only by his surname, Wulfrith. But when she holds his fate in her hands, her
