#EasterReading 2018

Easter eBooks

Did you know that most eBooks are cheaper than chocolate? Rather than spend all that money out on a thin shell of chocolate, in a overpackaged box, why not treat a friend or loved one to an eBook. There are so many out there below are a selection of my favourites. If you click on an image it should take you to the amazon page. If you click the pc icon it should take you to the authors website.

Maria Gibbs

Maria is my lovely Indie Author friend with whom I share a book table with at any book events we attend. A very talented author, with lots of ideas spinning around in her pretty head just waiting to be written. My favourite is ‘A Boy from the Streets’ and book 2 is coming real soon.

Sherri A. Wingler

Sherri is my lovely mentor and online author friend from the USA. Her books fall into the Young Adult / paranormal reads. The characters are truly believable and some you simply cannot help but fall in love with. Check out ‘Wings of Darkness’ and ‘Crimson Moon’ the first two books in seperate book series.

J.S. Burke

I absolutely love the ‘Dragon Dreamer’ Series all about Dragons and their fight for survival making new and very unsual friends for young readers and the Young at Heart like me.

Deb McEwan

Deb has lots of books out and I love them all but I wanted to share ‘Unlikely Soldiers’ as I believe Book 1 is currently FREE to download for Easter 2018. Very Highly Recommended. Deb has a wonderful comedic book series about Aliens and also a wonderful children’s book ‘Jason the Penguin’ who has a Yorkshire Accent.

Audrina Lane

1. Do you write as a full-time author or do you have to squeeze it in around a full-time job or looking after the children? If you don’t write as your main job what are your aims for your writing?

I somehow squeeze my writing in around my full-time job working for the Library Service in Herefordshire. I’m sometimes not sure where I find the extra time but I can be found writing on the bus on my way to work or during my lunchtime. My aims for my writing are to continue working on my current 3 WIP novels. Hoping to get them all out at some point in 2018.

2. What inspires you to write?

I tend to write everyday type of characters who are either experiencing love for the first or second time around. Or equally about them battling their demons, such as abuse or…

15 Goodreads ‘As Dreams Are Made On’

As Dreams Are Made On by Maria Gibbs

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 15 of my Goodreads Challenge 2018

 

THE STUFF OF DREAMS

(I have now read this several times but could not resist another one.)

OK being totally honest I was unsure about this little book when I first came across it. The title threw me off, not being a big Shakespeare fan I was unaware that it came from ‘The Tempest Act 4, scene 1, 148–158’ spoken by Prospero. When you know this and discover what he is talking about then this title fits the story perfectly.

Prospero:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d tow’rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Life for Matty is one long deep dream, she is caught between the love of her husband and the love of a handsome stranger. I was hooked from the start. Yes it is like a kind of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ story but with a few unexpected twists and turns. I never saw the end coming at all and I am not ashamed to say I cried. I cannot say more without giving away the story, you will just have to buy your own copy and find out for yourselves.

Just as wonderful and exciting as the very first time I read this.

Happy Reading 🙂

11 Goodreads (ARC) ‘Beyond Possession’

Beyond Possession by Deb McEwan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 11 of my Goodreads Challenge 2018

 

This series is Beyond Imagination

I originally was sent an advanced reading copy (ARC) of this book by the lovely Indie Author Deb McEwan who’s writing I am a massive fan of. All her books are well worth checking out. Click the PC icon to visit Deb’s website

This is Book 4 in the ‘Afterlife Series’ and the series simply gets better and better. The author has certainly upped her game for this one. The previous three books had me so hooked I read them one after the other in just four days. This one is even more fast paced and had me on the very edge of my seat.

All our old favourite characters are here both good and evil with a few more thrown into the big mix. At times it is rather heart-breaking especially as we learn about the loss of a child’s soul into the ether. There are some absolutely horrendous images conjured up too, Sandy’s story really sticks in my mind, the torture that the poor soul has to endure made me put the book aside and do something else so as not to have nightmares.

The author for this series has gone way beyond imagination, the whole series is a real rollercoaster of a read one moment you are on a high laughing then you might dip down so low you end up sobbing your heart out (well if you happen to be a sensitive soul) Finally you may even reach a peek of being totally shocked and almost scared out of your skin. AWESOME I love it.

In the beginning of this book the author gives us a brief insight into the story so far. However, if you have not read the other books in the series I greatly urge you to do so, this by far helps you with the whole story experience.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

#NationalHuggingDay 21st January 2018

Did you know that it is National Hugging Day today? Created by Kevin Zaborney to bring families and friends together sharing their love with a hug.  It occurs annually on January 21. The day was first celebrated on January 21, 1986 in USA. Click the logo for more info.

Personally I am not really a touch feely kind of gal but give me a book and I will hug it  forever and a day (If it’s a good read that is). #HugABook

I have lots of favourite books that I hug many by Indie Authors.  I have just read the ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of Book Two of ‘A Boy From the Streets’ by Maria Gibbs and if ever there is a book you will hug it has to be that one. Sadly I cannot tell you more but it is due out in the next few months. In the meantime you really should check out Book 1.

What is your favourite book to hug?
