This post is later than I had planned because near the end of June I started to read Outlander and wow it's a LONG book! But I decided to finish it and include in the June pile as I was really enjoying it. Now I'll be reading less than usual in July - maybe… Continue reading Books read in June 2017

First of all - happy World Book Day everyone! A perfect day to look back on the books I read in February I think. It wasn't a bumper book month for me. I was concentrating on editing my own book but I managed to read three novels and one non-fiction - a humorous self-help… Continue reading Books read in February 2017
This week, my year of positivity has hit shaky ground. Fed up of worrying about health issues and not focusing as much as I wanted to on editing my new book, I've not been in the best frame of mind. I wish I didn't find it so hard to stay positive when weeks go this… Continue reading How do you put positivity into action?
