  First off I just love and want to do a big-shout out to the great book club called BA that I belong to on Facebook as without them I would not have discovered some amazing new books and also met "well FB met" some great authors who have become friends like the amazing Tracey Garvis Graves. Review: On the Island - Travey Garvis Graves - September 2011 (original date) - Reprinted bv Penguin - August 2012 Belonging to the facebook group I do , I had seen the book "On the Island" talked and talked about but had not gotten around to reading it and then I had received when her book was happily snatched up by Penguin an ARC of the print version. So talking to a friend the other day, I decided to sit down and finally read "On the Island" and I really didn't know what to expect but as I got into it , I was like OMG this is totally amazing. On the Island features two main characters Anna and TJ. Anna has been hired to work as TJ's tutor f...

  With the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon hitting the world, indie books about the BDSM are becoming popular and today's review is one that I would have to say was one of the better ones I have read and as a reader who reads ALOT, I have delved into this catergory of books. Review: Captive in the Dark - Book #1 The Dark Duet - CJ Roberts - July 2011 I always find it interesting when other people recommend books to read as you never really know what to expect as so many people have different tastes. Captive in the Dark was one of those books that I had seen all my friends reading and seeing the author post about it, I was intrigued so I brought it. I have had it sitting on my Ipad to read and then last week , someone from the FB group BA that I belong too, wrote how sick and twisted the main character was and how he made her sick to her stomach and then something in that comment pushed me to read it and guess what readers, I found the main character Caleb, to be like...

  On the Phantom Paragrapher , I like to pride myself on unearthing the treasures of those things called books written by the strange but now very popular species called Indie Authors. As a book reviewer and a voracious reader, you start to make friends with a lot of the Indie authors and it starts to feel like a community. Today's book is one that a few friends of mine had read and one of them the other day KerriW. told me that if I didn't read it, she would cry and I couldn't have that happening so here today on The Phantom Paragrapher is the heartfelt book "The Sea of Tranquility". Review: The Sea of Tranquility - Katja Millay- September 2012 Have you ever had a book that your friends are all discussing it and then you feel left out so you want to read it and discover its awesomeness ? That's what I was like with "The Sea of Tranquility" as a group of friends on the FB Group I belong to Bookaholics Anonymous were discussing it an...

    Fire, Fire burning bright - In the middle of the night . If you love Fire, Arson and Detective novels - then this is the book for you. If you love Indie novels and Australian Fiction, then this is definitely the book for you. If you love all those things , then you my dear Reader will be in Heaven - like I was. Review: Burning Obsession - Book #1 Detective Folgari Series - Shelly Pratt - October 2012 Did you ever see that episode on Criminal Minds with the Arsonist ? The one where he ends up locking all those people in the movie theatres to get back at one girl - his twin sister ? As I started to read this book, the episode kept flicking back in my mind . As a huge fan of Criminal solving shows and one of my all-time favourite authors being James Patterson. I am always on the lookout for new mystery series to read. However, I don't read just any mystery - when it comes to mysteries I am really a picky reader as it has to be captivating in the first ch...

    With the current phenomenon of the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy to hit the shelves and homes of women and men all across the world. One of my favourite book company brands "SmartPop" have decided to release a collection of essays on the topic titled "Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades". Review: Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey - Edited by Lori Perkins - November 2012 When I first saw this book, I knew right then and there that it was one that I wanted to read . A book that would have me engrossed from the very first page and I was absolutely correct, though some essays were a tad disturbing and some a bit too educational for my liking , the majority of the essays were OUTSTANDING And AMAZING. If you love psychology and delving in the unknowns of a book , analysing the book in it's pages. Then SmartPop Books who are producing Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades , is the place for you as I adore all their books. Reading Fifty Writers , will be one ...
