Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I needed help. We needed help, and we needed it fast.” Every now and then I get the urge to jump into a non-fiction read, and this time it was an eye-opening and heartbreaking memoir about the struggles (and the rewards) of parenting, fostering and adopting, and just how one certain experience…

The Betrayal Of Thomas True – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The only sin is betrayal.” One thing you should know about me is that I don’t read a lot of historical fiction. I’m very picky. In fact, I could probably count the number of books on one hand, and I certainly can’t remember which was the last I read. HOWEVER. As soon…

A book about books and a love of reading was…
The Wrong Sister – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Every family has secrets. Some more deadly than others.” I don’t really think I need to introduce Claire Douglas to all the thriller fans – of course her latest book is just as gripping and as perfectly written as you would expect! It completely blew my mind and I didn’t see the…
