Wanting a nice light-hearted read and one that has a bit of Aussie/American Humour chucked into the mix ?

Review : I say Tomato - Katie Wall - 2010

Meet Sunny aka Sunday , a young Aussie actress who grew up watching Home and Away and Neighbours and loving the shows so much decided that she too wanted to become an Actress. On the day her boyfriend asked her to marry her , she bought a one-way ticket to Hollywood.
Now in Hollywood , Sunny is making a small name for herself as she stars in TV ads , auditioning for parts and when she is short-listed for a call-back she meets Sam - a hunky American actor whom introduces her to the world of free Swag and Sundance Film festivals.
Sunny also now living in comfort with her new-found friend Albert , things are starting to look up for her. The meeting of Albert and Katie reminds me of the movie "The Holiday" where Kate Winslet meets the old screenwriter and becomes a companion for him.
As Sunny gets more and more involved with Hollywood and the people around LA , will she realise what she actually wants more than anything is to be in Australia with the guy she left.
I say Tomato is one girl's journey from Australia to Hollywood as she tries to work out what she wants and who is important in her life.
What I really liked was that the author had Isla Fisher endorse the book as it gave it that Aussie feel as she started her acting career on Home and Away as Shannon.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
