Five Go Glamping



Review: Five Go Glamping - Liz Tipping - August 2015
I was drawn to this book through the title "Five Go Glamping" and thought it might have been similar to Bruno Vincent's adult Enid Blyton stories. In a way, the book did pay homage to Enid Blyton with having the Four friends and their dog. We have the four friends - Fiona, Steph, Sinead and Kirk and their dog Brian Harvey. This part made me giggle as my partner's name is Bryan Harvey. So whenever I saw the dog's name mentioned, it made me connect more with the story. Fiona has found herself in a dead-end job and in a relationship that seriously isn't going anywhere with a douche named Connor. When Fiona and her friends are offered a trip to a music festival and staying in a luxury yurt, they think Why not? And head to the countryside. It is on this trip that Fiona meets Sam - the local pub owner and the pair get talking, and Fiona finds herself doing what she loves - cooking and creating meals. Over the next few days, Fiona will start to evaluate her life and realize that she hasn't been living and that maybe it's time to go spontaneously. I haven't read a chick lit book in a while as I got sick of them all being the same thing over and over again, but this read was refreshing and nice for a change. If you want a Brit Lit read, love music, friendships, laughter, and tears then Five Go Glamping is the read for you, and it will also turn you off becoming a cat lady if you are headed down that road. NO CATS FOR ME.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
