Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop



I'm taking part in the Australia Day Book Giveaway Hop, which is being hosted by the very awesome Book'd Out and Confessions from Romaholics. Up for grabs are autographed copies of my novels Being Abigail and Best Forgotten. Both novels are, of course, completely brilliant (or maybe I'm just biased). You can enter the competition via the rafflecopter widget below.

Staying indoors, avoiding the sun and bogans with flags. Both of these are especially difficult tasks in WA.

Hi,

I'm a Queenslander who is basically 'riding out the storm' literally.

I thought yesterday was bad, but today is positively Biblical!!

Cleaned the house in preparation for family and friends coming on Monday for a BBQ celebration.

Wow, thanks to everyone who commented and/or entered the competition. Seems like we had a lot of rain on the east coast of Australia and lots of people relaxing and enjoying their days off in other parts of this awesome country.

Pleasing to see that I had visitors from overseas as well as Australia.

Tara is our lucky winner. Congrats!

Review: Secret Brother by V.C. Andrews

Image
As fans of V.C. Andrews and followers of my reviews will already know, recently, V.C. Andrews ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman began working on the Diaries Series, a spin-off, or companion series to the Dollanganger Series which is best remembered for its haunting first novel Flowers in the Attic . In the Dollanganger series, we read as four children were kept in an attic by their cruel grandmother and were eventually poisoned by their mother. When Cory, one of the younger children dies, the other three realise that they must escape. The sequel Petals on the Wind tells the story of how narrator Cathy and her surviving siblings Christopher and Carrie adjust to life outside of the attic, along with Cathy's thirst for revenge and two further sequels If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday  introduce the next generation of the family, who too inherit their own share of problems and are haunted by the deep shadows cast by their ancestors. The saga is rounded out with Garden of Shadow

Review: Read Me Like a Book by Liz Kessler

Image
Read Me Like a Book is a sensitive portrayal of a young woman who lacks a sense of self and whose journey of self-discovery happens in the most unexpected of ways. Ashleigh Walker is seventeen years old and studying for her A-levels. She has three friends at her local college--the slight wild Cat, straight-laced Robyn, and Luke who sits somewhere between the other two. She has a boyfriend, Dylan, but the reader soon gets the feeling that she isn't really interested in him, and is only dating him because it is what she thinks that Dylan and others expect from her. It's a dilemma that is easy enough for many teenagers to identify with, that sometimes relationships or even hook ups happen not because the pair are truly interested in one another, but because they feel that they should be dating someone. And then, something unexpected happens as Ashleigh gets to know her new English teacher. For the first time, she starts to develop the symptoms of a crush. The only thing is,

Review: Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan

Image
Exciting Times is the story of Ava, a twenty-two year old university graduate with no money and even less self-esteem who travels to Hong Kong to take up a job teaching English to rich local children. It is also the story of a love triangle between Ava, a wealthy banker named Julian who is trying to get over his ex and allows Ava to stay in his apartment for free, and Eileen, a razor sharp local who is the only genuinely decent person of the lot, or so it seems at first.  Initially, I wasn't sure that I liked this story. The first part drags considerably, and there is little to like about a story where the main character basically puts up with being treated like live-in mistress by a man who doesn't love her, simply because her self-esteem is so low that she doesn't think she deserves anything better. And certainly, Ava is an expert in pushing people away. On several occasions, I wrote this off as being just yet another Literary novel that puts the sex life of the dysfunct
