I was quite excited to find some new ways to reduce sugar usage in our family especially since our son joined us last spring. However , this really wasn’t the sugar reducing cookbook I thought it would be. I was expecting more tips and swaps, like ideas for alternative sweeteners or recipes with no sugar […]

Book Review: Beauty and the beast by An Leysen
First of all I would like to praise wonderful drawings in this book. Text was also arranged the way it’s comfortable to read, yet easy to look illustrations as well. As much as I loved the illustrations, I believe it would find it hard to attract younger readers. It was interesting to see the […]
Book Review: The Postcard by Fern Britton
This book sounded like a perfect summer holiday read and I was really excited to take it with me on our boating holiday. The Postcard promised so much: “Secrets. Sisters. The summer that changed everything”. The question is – Does it deliver what it promises? I have so many mixed feelings about this book. The […]
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher review / Why should you live.
Trigger Warning: Suicide and some personal experience. I was probably living under the rock, but I haven’t heard about this book up until it popped on my Netflix. Almost at the same time, I got a chance to get this book to review and I though why not. I didn’t realised how many memories this […]

Review: Ida by Alison Evans
Ok, so I am not even going to lie about why I wanted to read this book so badly. As a person who lived all her life without seeing her own name on any keychains, rulers or anything like that this book became a must to read. So the book goes about girl called Ida, […]
The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires
Perfectionists are running the world! They come in all shapes and sizes! Have you ever known a child who is kind of a perfectionist? The one who gets frustrated because their picture didn’t turned out how they wanted it to? Life is tough and the heroine in this book is a good example of how […]
Sample: The Goldfish Boy by Lisa Thomson
After YALC, like always, I have got so many samplers to catch up! They are so perfect to have somewhere in the handbag and pick it up while waiting for appointment or train. I really loved this sample. As a person who constantly deals with obsessive compulsive disorder I felt so much for Matty. This […]
