A little introduction:

I'm 52, a published writer of around 25 books. I also read and review books for several publishers and blog tours.


What made you start blogging?

I have reviewed books for about 20 years, but this year, I decided to set up a blog to put my reviews on and to hopefully gain a wider readership. 


What genres do you blog about?

Anything I read! My favourite genres are thriller/domestic noir, uplit, women's fiction, romance/romcoms. You won't find me reading horror, war, erotica, sci-fi or fantasy. 


What are your favourite books?

My favourite books of all time are Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. I have a soft spot for the Doctor Who Target novels I read in childhood and books like The Diddakoi by Rumer Godden and Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild.


What are your 3 top reads from the last year?

Call Me Mummy by Tina Baker, The Smallest Man by Frances Quinn and The Beginner's Guide to Loneliness by Laura Bambrey. All excellent books. I have kept lists of every book I have read since the mid-80s and score them out of 10, so it's easy to keep track of my top ones.


Which part of having the blog do you love the most?

Getting free books to read and review!!


Where did the blog name come from?

I think I was inspired by Lindsey Kelk's I Heart series of books. I'm currently reading her book On A Night Like This and really enjoying it.


What do you love most about books?

Everything!! Ha ha. I guess I love becoming part of a different story and inhabiting a different person's mind for a while, living in their world.
